Home solutions for console issues
Video games can be a great source of entertainment for many hours, but they can also occasionally be frustrating. That annoyance is typically brought on by technical difficulties.
Although the consoles of the most recent generation are impressive pieces of technology, they are not faultless. To a certain extent, firmware updates can be helpful in this regard.
Having said that, most technological issues have straightforward fixes. You might be able to repair them yourself if you do some investigation (like reading this post!). Here are some common problems that affect theXbox One X, and PlayStation 4 Pro.
PS 4
Disc Read Mistakes
A disc read error will typically present itself as the error code CE-35486-6.
It's possible that this indicates that your disc is scratched or damaged, but you should double-check. Start by trying to restart your console.
Hold the power button down for around 30 seconds after turning it off and unplugging any cables. Reattach all wires, wait two minutes, and then turn the system back on. The next step would be to reinstall the game in question if the issue continues. Go to the icon for it in the game's menu, select "Options," and then delete it. The installation should launch immediately after re-inserting the DVD.Issues with Network Connectivity
Networking issues affect all video gaming consoles, including the PS4.
This occasionally occurs when the PlayStation Network (PSN) is unavailable for maintenance.
You will have to take care of the matter on your own outside of those times. Try changing the PS4's DNS settings if it's the only device on your network experiencing connectivity problems.
In the network settings, select the automated IP address option. Choose "8.8.8.8" as your primary DNS and "8.8.4.4" as your secondary DNS. Reset your network after this for the best outcomes. Do the same with your modem and router after you have unplugged your PS4 from its power source. Reconnect them all after a little while.

Unanticipated Stoppages
Your first thought might be to call a store that fixes video game consoles if your Xbox randomly goes off. There are a few things you can try on your own first, though, before going that route.
Start by inspecting the ventilation. You'll see a warning message if the system is overheating before it goes down. Ensure that the console has adequate ventilation, wait a few hours, then switch it back on.
Additionally, verify that the Xbox is set to shut down automatically. Select "Power & Supply" from the options menu, then "Turn off after." Check the power brick if the Xbox keeps shutting off; if it's dark, there's a power problem.
Unable to Install Games
You can immediately begin playing games that the Xbox One can install in the background.
The installation procedure occasionally freezes at or around 0%, which is the sole drawback.
If you're connected to the internet, the issue can be with your Xbox Live connection. By disconnecting your Ethernet cable or turning off your wireless network using the "Settings" menu, you can try to fix this. After that, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds.
Next, restart your console without logging in to the internet. You'll be able to reconnect to Xbox Live later if your game begins installing.
