For those having issues with Peacock's closed captions not going away even though the settings are off(on XUMO Box)

So I went over the Peacock app and pressed the three dots button on my remote (not sure if being over the app when hitting that button even makes a difference but it's what I did), I went to app settings/management and hit the "refresh" button for apps, where it says that if there's any updates for your apps that will automatically update them for you. It never actually said it finished resetting, and I waited long enough to where the screen went on standby, and when I checked it let me hit refresh once again. I did that, and about a minute or so later I hit the "restart tv" option. Once the TV finished with its restart, I opened the peacock app once again and have been watching "On patrol live" just fine with no closed captions so far!! So I'm assuming if we get an issue with them popping up again and it doesn't let us turn them off again, that I will just to the same thing of refreshing and restarting the TV. Hope this helps!!

We’ve also been experiencing this issue for about a week. Not only are the captions ON but they are mistimed — usually about 1-2 minutes ahead of what’s on screen. We are watching a show with a lot of subtitles so it really messes up the ability to read the subtitles if the captions aren’t aligned! We tried tiring on/off captions, tried refreshing apps and resetting TV. We’ve done this multiple times but trying again.

Also having this issue with Peacock app on the Xumo box.  I tried all your suggestions and the issue is still there.  The Ccs are a few minutes ahead which is frustrating  

The Peacock app on different devices like an iPad works fine.  Something is wrong with the Xumo box and Peacock. 

Xfinity owes us a credit to compensate us for this inconvenience.
