No logs, started happening after the last “Security” update, screen freezes and windows does not respond to anything, headset display is stuck displaying what it last rendered, controller lights go from green (paired) to blue (unpaired). I need to forcefully shut it down, when I try turning it on again, it doesn’t, I have to leave it for 30 minutes just to get it to boot again. Sometimes with a special surprise, it will just corrupt my files if it crashes while EAC is checking all my files! Please Fix it…

Hey, just checking my notifications for the first time in a while.

No update, it’s been behaving for now. I guess the WiFi module on my laptop was defective or crapped out somehow. The laptop had major issues anyways.

In the end, a brand new computer fixed it.
