"Xbox Dashboard took too long to start"

Hey there RaccoonNinja28.

So that we can narrow this down, are you able to disconnect your Xbox One from Xbox Live and try starting a game while offline? As you mentioned your console is downloading updates without issue, but I'm curious to see if your connection is affecting your ability
to play games.

**** pathetic system and support by Microsoft I'm ready to switch back to ps4. I should have never sold my ps4. I've had to do this **** system factory reset 8 times in the last week!!!!!!!

Hi there,

please try the manual power cycle steps like mentioned on the following link, be sure to wait at least 60 seconds before powering on again:

if that fails then the best option would be to try a factory reset with keeping Games and Apps installed like mentioned on this page:

Let us know the results
