Has anyone else experienced their Xbox One randomly turning itself on? Mine seems to do this without any input from me, and it’s getting pretty annoying!

I remember my old Xbox One doing the same thing! It might just be how the Instant On feature works. If you have that enabled, it could be waking up to update itself.
It could be dust on the sensor making it super sensitive. A quick wipe with a microfiber cloth usually helps!
Yeah, I’ve had that happen too! Sometimes it helps to turn off remote features. Maybe one of your friends is playing a prank on you? Just be careful!
Or check to see if you’ve got any kind of console settings that might be causing it to wake up at certain times.
