SUMMARY

This article describes how to configure the way that the Xbox 360 console starts when you turn on the console.

MORE INFORMATION

Typically, the Xbox 360 console will automatically play a media disc if a disc is in the disc drive when you turn on the console. An auto-update is available that lets you change the default option from automatically playing the media disc to automatically advancing to the Xbox Dashboard when you turn on the console.

To configure how the Xbox 360 console starts, follow these steps:

1. Start the console without a DVD in the disc drive.
2. In the System section of the Xbox Dashboard, select Console Settings.
3. Select Startup, and then press the A button.
4. Select from the following two options, and then press the A button:
   • Disc
     Select Disc if you want the console to play the media when you turn on the console.
   • Xbox Dashboard
     Select Xbox Dashboard if you want the console to advance to the Dashboard when you turn on the console.
   Note You do not receive a confirmation after you select an option. However, the option will automatically be saved.
