Warning: Restoring your console to the factory default settings erases all accounts, apps, games, saved games, and settings. Anything not synchronized with Xbox Live will be lost. Your console syncs with Xbox Live automatically when it is connected with the service.
Step 1: On your computer
1. Plug your USB flash drive into a USB port on your computer.
2. Format the USB as NTFS (USB must have at least 2 GB of space).
3. You’ll need to download the Restore Factory Defaults file from support.xbox.com. Link: xbox.com/xboxone/restorefactorydefaults
4.Click Save to save the console update .zip file to your computer.
5. Unzip the file. If you’re using Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8, double-click the .zip file to unzip it.
6. Copy the contents of the .zip file to the root directory of your flash drive.
7. Unplug the USB flash drive from your computer.
Step 2: On your Xbox One console
1. Unplug the network cable if you’re using a wired network connection.
2. Power off your console, and then unplug the power cord to ensure that the console is completely powered off.
3. Wait 30 seconds.
4. Plug the power cord back in.
5. Plug the flash drive into a USB port on your Xbox One console.
6. Press and hold the BIND and EJECT buttons on the console, and then press the Xbox button on the console.
7. Continue holding the BIND and EJECT buttons for 10-15 seconds.
8. Listen for two “power-up” tones a couple of seconds apart.
Note: If you don't hear two power-up tones after 10 seconds, it means this failed. Likewise, if you hear any “power-down” chirps, that also means this failed.
9. You can release the BIND and EJECT buttons after the second power-up tone.
10. When the console restarts, remove the USB drive.
11. Once the console restarts, the update is complete and you should be returned to your experience.
Note: The console restart may take several minutes. If you were using a wired connection please plug your network cable back in to the console. If you have never connected your console to the internet, you will need to connect at least once during your system setup process.
