I registered my Xbox Series S on live.com before I left for work and in my device list it says I have an Xbox One but it has the right serial number. Is that happening to anyone else?

Same with series x.
For console image, on account home page it shows image of Xbox one. On device page, it shows series x image.
Yep, same for my Series X and Series S. I own two Xbox One's according to MS's website. LOL
I know this is petty, but I wish when you were looking at your friends list and it shows who of your friends on-line that it would show what system they are on. On the PS5, the UI has a little mini PS5 Icon for those playing on PS5 and a mini PS4 icon for those on a PS4.
OK, so a really stupid tech question.
I am running my Series X through a receiver's HDMI ARC port. It is saying on the Xbox settings that I do not have 4K capabilities.
I'm guessing this is due to the way i'm running the system through my receiver? Any other thoughts?
Spoiler -- Yes, my TV is 4K.

Is there a way to have Instant On selected without having the external HDD run all the time? I tried selecting "turn storage off in rest mode" in the Settings but that didn't seem to do the trick. I don't remember my One X running the external storage like this.
If you change that setting you have to restart the console to make it work, it doesn't tell you so.
Note: having the setting to turn off storage in rest mode does not prevent downloading games nor updates, the console will turn it on at will.
But I set mine to always on because for some reason when in rest mode my external HDD keeps waking up every 5 minutes, sometimes it stays off for hours but sometimes not, even when there's nothing to download.
Quick Resume so far is a huge 50/50. It works 50% of the time, it doesn't the other 50%. Is there no way to know what games I currently have open in Quick Resume and which ones aren't? I've tried quick resume a few times and it totally crashed the console.
This is a great feature that is half baked.

lol...it's the little things that makes a difference. I have 500+ people on my friends list...would be cool to show who is playing on what console. lol
IMHO unless you can have a task manager it's pretty useless as it doesn't work all the time.
An update on this. It seems the issue is disc based games across multiple profiles. My wife is playing AC: Valhalla of Disc on her profile, and I'm playing Ori (digitally) on mine. Jumping back to my profile and Quick Resume Ori works flawlessly, while everytime my wife starts AC on her profile the game restarts, eventhough the disc is already in once started.
It's there on Xbox and PC.
On PC : friends have a console (One X/S) icon when they are on console, nothing when on PC.
On Xbox : friends have a PC icon when playing on PC, nothing when playing on Xbox. I think there is also a 360 icon when playing on 360.
On Xbox 360 : it says "Xbox One" or "PC" before the game name I think.
Xbox is a whole ecosystem, it does not matter on which device they are (One fat, One S, One X, One S Digital, Series S, Series X) as all games from these generations are playing on every devices for now (the first one only on Series would be The Medium I think).
But I get the idea, in away it would be nice to know which device exactly each friend have.
The Xbox One X enhanced patch added 4k and HDR support. The new patch adds 120 Hz support.
IIRC it's going to have a few more upgrades than that like FOV options.

My partner is definitely worried about it being an eyesore, but I'd much rather have it out and ventilated than inside of my cabinet. I'm pretty sensitive myself to ugly-ing up my living room decor, so I'll concede if it's actually terrible. My impression so far is that it's innocuous enough tho. I saw the display models in person at JBHifi and honestly it's not that big? Outside of the fake green plastic "glow," it looks like it'd blend in pretty well.

The same thing happened to me except it didn't detect my HDR. I took away the Sound bar and tried again and still the same problem. Put the sound bar back and went back in and all of a sudden there was a new option to calibrate my HDR settings.

Xbox sorta does this, but it shows who is on Xbox, and who is on PC. People on PC will have a little computer icon in their status.
It'd be cool if they broke it down by type of console too though, I agree.
Yeah, it just happened to me, I didn't even realize that until I was going to put in my SN on my account, but it fixed itself and tells me I got a warranty till December of next year.
Gears 5? What is it that is specifically tripping you up difficulty-wise?
The only game I know of that allows this kind of functionality currently, is the Master Chief Collection. There was that story about a month ago that Microsoft are pushing devs to make their next-gen games more modular like this, so hopefully there'll be more of it going forward
It was a dynamic resolution on the X, though it stayed pretty close to 4K the majority of the time. But if you loaded it up with mods I imagine you could drop the resolution enough to get a noticeable difference with the Series X and same mods.
I wish Bethesda would revisit the 5GB limit for mods on Series X. Be nice to be able to use a lot more higher resolution textures. My wife and I have been playing around with it a bit the last few days. Shocking how current gen you can make it look.
Gears 1
You die pretty quickly, and the extremely high amount of camera shake gets me disoriented and into situations where I get shot a lot
Ahh. Unfortunately it's been a loooong time since I played Gears 1, so the only real advice I could give, would be to get really good at active reloads.
I seem to recall Gears of War 1 being regarded as a pretty hard game at the time, so it's possible that by today's standards it really is just hard.
Maybe a bigger Gears fan than me can chime in.
My external HDD sounds like it's turning on and off when the console is on standby, like someone is flipping an on/off switch for it. For now, I'll just be using energy-saving mode, since the 15 second boot up time from full shutdown doesn't bother me in the slightest.
Is it the 360 one or the remaster? I think the remaster has a ton of options. I think.
I have a strange issue with downloads. Every game I try and download now has no icon and when I try to start the game it says "Clear some space, your xbox does not have enough room for this to install". I have multiple terabytes left on my external SSD as well as over 100gb left on my internal. This happens no matter which game I download (even on 200mb indie games). I downloaded hundreds of games just fine before this started happening.
I have done a full shut down including removing from power for 10 main (multiple times), reset my router and cleared the persistent storage.
Any ideas would be welcomed.

Wait MCC was updated for 120fps? I thought that was still coming?
Yes that's normal, after putting the console in rest mode it should be spinning for a few minutes, then stop if the console is cool enough.
If it's downloading while in rest mode, it can keep the fan spinning longer.
Sometimes it can even turn the fan on for a few minutes if it's getting too hot inside (in rest mode the CPU is in a low-power state but still produces a bit of heat, so it depends on the room temperature too).
Thanks, i'm going to tinker around with it to see if I can get it to work. Otherwise, i'll use a non-ARC port.
Appreciate the replies!
