. Background downloads not working 360

Hey, my 360 is having issues where the background downloading doesn't seem to work anymore. I have tried downloading many different things and none of them will download even though I've checked and double checked my settings. All as they should be.

The latest download is Games with Gold: Dishonoured and before that was Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare.

I'm unsure of what to do and could really use some detailed answers besides: Go to settings > console > startup and shutdown > background downloads > on.

I've tried re-setting and other methods. I just want to save electric and watch TV while it does it's intended job.

Thanks for any assistance.

:)

 

Background downloads not working

The xbox 360 background downloads feature isn't working for me.

I know that it used to work for me but since the latest update it doesn't work.

I'll start downloading something , turn off the xbox and it shuts off completely after 3 seconds.

It used to flash and keep downloading until the download was finished but now it just turns itself off and doesn't download anything.

Its a real pain.

I have to keep my 360 fully turned on now when downloading anything wasting electricity.

My xbox 360 is connected to the internet via wi fi now whereas it was wired in the past but it still should work.

Can anyone help me get the background downloads working the way they're supposed to over wifi.

 

Background Downloads Not Working

My Xbox one background download feature only works less than half the time. It worked the first day I started the download fir mcc but every time I shut it down now it doesn't work and it's set to instant on and everything but it still isn't downloading
when it's off.

 

I'm having the exact same issue. It only recently started when trying to download Dishonored. I tried Dark Souls as well to make sure it wasn't just one game. It happened with both.

 

Sorry to hear you're both having troubles, you could try clearing the cache first to see if that solves the problem. The link below gives you a guide:

support.xbox.com/.../clear-system-cache

Try that first, if you still have no joy then let us know.

 

Forgot to mention to clear the cache three times in a row continuously.

 

It seems to be working now. Just takes for ever to download anything even though my internet is full strength. I didn't need to do anything, it just started working.
