    Apps won't automatically update!!!


    The most rage-inducing feature right now of this product is the constant, CONSTANT app updates. Want to use youtube app? UPDATE!. Want to watch a video?? UPDATE!!! WAnt to listen to music? SIT THERE AND WAIT FOR AN UPDATE!

    Individually updating application items is the most mind numbingly stupid/frustrating setup. So if I have 50 apps, I have to open 50 apps, and click accept to each and every one (don't forget it will fail the first time to download the update, and then you
    can hit retry and it will connect) and wait for it to update.

    Here's a novel idea: UPDATE APPS IN THE BACKGROUND AUTOMATICALLY!

    Then maybe the next time I go to stream music or video or youtube to the console, I won't have to shut down the app, restart the console and try launching it again for another stupid, arbitrary update that I won't even notice any new features from.

    :)

    Game Updates not Auto Downloading

    Why won't my Xbox one X automatically download updates overnight or during the day? I have to start the game, then it closes and starts and update when one is found. My current settings:

    Updates:

    Console: Keep console up to date - Checked

    Games and Apps: When this is enabled your Xbox will automatically apply background updates to your games and apps: Checked

    Power and startup;

    -Turn off after: Do not turn off automatically.

    -Power Mode - Instant-On

    - When Xbox is off, turn off storage - Unchecked

  3. Apps won't update

    So I've been having issues with my Xbox not downloading apps and updates like it should. I've got my apps in the queue, but they stay at 0% with no progress. Is anyone else experiencing this?

    Apps won't automatically update!!!

    All of my games and apps update in the background. I havent seen an update for anything besides the controller update. Do you have your power settings set to Instant On?

    My power settings are instant on, and I also get my tiles not loading a lot of the time. I usually end up having to do a complete reset (hold down the power button for 10 seconds) to get them to load. It's all been happening since the last update.

  6. Since you say you have your settings on instant-on also make sure that you have "automatically download updates" checked. And if you want them to download automatically make sure you keep your Xbox in standby mode, meaning don't unplug or fully turn off
    your console.

    That's exactly how I have it setup, instant on with updates checked... the XBOX will download the system updates fine overnight... just not any app/game updates. I only tell the xbox to turn off at night using voice commands, nothing is unplugged.

    Quick question about automatic game updates...

    The DR3 update downloaded overnight for me without the disc in there so yes game updates are done automatically too. It seems that the auto-update system is a little finicky still however. I usually get the auto-updates but every once in a while I won't.
    (I had to manually download the Blu-Ray app update the other day.)

    Xbox One Error Code: 0x80131500 When Clicking on Games With Gold

    Problem solved by another method.

    Today I went to use an App and it said it needed an update. So I went to the list of items that were in need of updates and the Microsoft Store was also listed. I updated that App and now it works properly again. Yay!

    After that I went into settings and set it so games and Apps are updated automatically as well, so hopefully this won't happen again.

    Thanks to all for trying to help. This one has been resolved and can be marked as closed.

    Can I Update Apps?

    No, automatic or manually update as you run an app, there is no way of checking if an app needs updated.

    ^Not to mention even the OP stated that the Xbox sees the TV as an open running app and won't shut down automatically. "Just using that" won't work.

    Xbox game pass for PC automatic update

    Thanks for the response, I checked the article and there is no mention for the automatic updated for games in the bete app. I will post in the feedback app as you suggested. I hope the option to disable automatic updates released soon.
