  1. Auto update question


    Hello, I have a question about auto update and energy saving mode. Can I keep my console in energy saving mode and still enable auto download of console and app updates when console is shut off? The option to do this seems independent of power mode. Does
    the console just download the update and then shut itself off? I really want the system all the way off when not using it. Thanks for any help.

    :)

    Auto download of games that are purchased remotely?

    I don't think Whitten is answering the question we are asking here and his tweet is alluding to the console auto updating software when in instant-on mode.

  4. Auto update question

    If you check Settings > System > Updates, you should see options (in checkboxes) to enable automatic updating.

    From what I can tell by these options, only system updates are applied after the console is turned off, even when in energy-saving mode. Game/App updates can be automatically downloaded in the background, but only while the console is turned on.

    Some people say that games and apps are automatically updated while the console is turned off in "Instant-On" mode, but I can't find any exact confirmation on this now.

    This Reddit thread says there's an option: Auto Update Games And Apps Without Using Instant On? : xboxone

    "Under "Power and Startup" and then "Power Mode and Startup" there is an option to keep your games and apps up to date. I believe this is the option I was looking for, in case anyone else has the same issue"

    Haven't tested it myself though.

    Quick question about automatic game updates...

    I believe the updates while in "Instant On" mode only apply to the console updates not game updates.

    Game updates will download and apply themselves when you next load the game in question. If it auto applied updates to games I think there would be a big uproar due to the size of some updates like DR3's 13Gb update.

    Xbox Game Pass for PC game is queued but not downloading

    Hey XBF Diego F,

    I figured out the problem, my auto update didn't update Windows 10 so I had to download a new update to start any updates for MS programs. Easy fix.

    I jumped the gun posting the question on here I guess.

    Thanks for the help!
