How do I hard reset on my Xbox Series X

- Hold the Xbox button on the console for around 10 seconds until it powers off
- Press the Xbox button on either the console or the controller to turn back on
- If the green Xbox logo splash screen doesn’t appear, and I go straight into the dashboard, then I can not have held down the Xbox button on the console for long enough to override instant-on mode.
- Make sure that hold the button for a minimum of 10 seconds until the console turns off, then if needed to unplug the power cable for at least 10 more seconds to ensure, I will completely hard reset my Xbox Series X.
