Fortunately, here we’ve shared with you a couple of possible workarounds that should come in handy. So, without further ado, let’s jump into it.

It’s highly recommended to simply restart the Xbox console manually to check if the temporary glitch or cache data issue has been cleared or not. By doing so, multiple issues with the system performance and in-game conflicts will be fixed.

- Now, wait for around 30 seconds, and then plug back the power cable in.
- Make sure to turn on the Xbox console and check whether the issue has been fixed or not.
