Using voice

With Cortana and a headset mic or Kinect, you can turn on the console with your voice by saying “Hey Cortana, Xbox on.” To turn it off, say “Hey Cortana, Xbox off.”

If you’re using the original voice control model, say “Xbox on” to turn it on and “Xbox turn off” to turn it off.

For more about using voice with Cortana and other digital assistants like Amazon Alexa, see Voice and digital assistants.

Troubleshoot problems turning off the console

Try the following steps:

• Hold down the power button on your console for about 10 seconds. This will force the console to shut down.
• As a last resort, unplug the console. Note that this may affect any current activity. For example, if you unplug the console while saving a game, the game save may be lost or corrupted.
