I know I just got a series x about a month ago I already had problems with not connecting to Wi-Fi now this happens

[@xoild356]

@@waylonmcginnis3888 do you have this problem where you turn on your Xbox but for whatever reason it doesn’t connect to the internet automatically so you have to restart the Xbox sometimes?

My controller turns on the Xbox but I can't select anything does that mean it's broken?

since I didn't find any video that showed my case I hope that the comment can be useful to someone, my problem wasn't the connection, the pad was connected, stable light and it also turned on the Xbox remotely, it just didn't work in no way after the xbox turned on, disconnect the batteries, put them back in, etc... nothing worked, I tried removing the power cable for 60 seconds and everything went back to normal, thanks
