Xbox One owners are dealing with a pretty severe Xbox Live issue today that’s making Microsoft’s console difficult to use for anything at all. Many people (just take a look at the Xbox One subreddit) are reporting seeing a black screen shortly after their console boots up. Microsoft has tweeted that it’s aware of the “Xbox One console startup, title update, and sign-in errors” and will provide updates as it can.
We are aware of reports of Xbox One console startup, title update and sign-in errors. We will keep everyone informed once we have more information to share. Thank you all for your patience.

You don’t need to be alarmed that your console hardware is having problems: as far as we can tell, this is an Xbox Live issue — albeit a bad one that’s basically making the Xbox One unusable at the moment.
Xbox Live servers down? Turned on Xbox, nornal start up welcoming screen, then goes to home page and instant black screen. Can hear as I navigate around and such. Anybody else having issues?

Some have reported that unplugging from Ethernet allows the console to start up normally since it’s not making a connection to Live. But if your console is connected via Wi-Fi, a workaround might be more challenging until Microsoft fixes this. Fortunately, the company seems to have pinpointed the problem and is in the process of resolving it:
Xbox One Users - we have identified the service causing the black screens and working on rolling back the service change - please be patient.
