I've got an xbox 1S 1TB and was recently having problems. It may be the hd is coming to the end after 7 years of daily play. I can only hope not.
I was very through with my clean, gently removing everything and cleaning it with a small paintbrush while carefully holding a vacuum nearby, esp the nooks and crannies on the fan (also carefully removed)
I also has a look at the drive and it was badly defragmented. So i used defraggler to defragment it, I had a usb hd connector. There were 4 partitions. 3 smaller ones defragged easily but the main partition didnt do all of it for some reason. So to avoid that the next time I would delete all the games before removing the drive. Windows said there were mo bad sectors.
Then i put it back togeather, but it still wasnt running well for Fortnite, but Apex seemed to run better. I uninstalled Fortnite and reinstalled it. But yesterday it wasnt running great, but this evening it seems to be a bit better.
I have my xbox raised up to allow air flow under it, and the foam pieces that raise it up also stop any vibrations. Need to have plenty of air space around the xbox to allow heat to dissapate.
Have you checked the space on your h drive? I find older hd's do not like being over 50% full.
How do i defrag?
As i mentioned i would uninstall all the games first, and there would be less to defrag.
What type of xbox do you have? Mine has a sata drive so i just needed a sata to usb connector. They are not expensive, maby €8. Picture below.
Then download defraggler here, ive been using it for years in my pc's and i thing its much better than the windows one. If you use it yo defrag your pc hd drive only do a file defrag monthly and a gull defrag 6 monthly. Do not use it on an ssd drive. They do not need defragmenting.
Run defraggler on each of the 4 partitions of the xbox disc and do a full defrag for each.
Windows should also tell you if it finds sny errors, you could also run chkdsk to be more thorough.
