    Cancel updates button uninstalled all games in progress.


    So I hit the cancel updates button on accident during the final update for CoD: WWII, and any game that had an update queued was uninstalled quite suddenly. I lost all update progress, and have to start from scratch. Is this a bug or a feature? Or is this
    some message from the heavens telling me I shouldn't play CoD?

    :)

    Updated a game

    I was downloading an update for elder scrolls online and it froze halfway in to the download so I decided to just cancel the update and restarted it so I clicked cancel all thinking that it would cancel the update but instead it uninstalled my whole game,
    does anyone know why this happened?

    Updates Are Reinstalling Entire Games

    It happens quite often if there is an update that is already in progress and you cancel it, as if you uninstall the game and it is uninstalled, I do not know why it is. It has already happened to me once. Watch that.

    Games uninstalling on there own on my Xbox One

    it's possible that they are uninstalling because an update for the game(s) cancelled as that will uninstall the game.

    Update/cancel game uninstall

    Lol good one. I must say my post didn't request any help. Only people who have experienced this can reply. I own 30+ consoles, from the NES to the Atari jaguar...nobody knows about consoles here more than me..this is a big issue no other modern console has.

    Thanks for the reply but you don't get it

    Update/cancel game uninstall

    Never cancel an update, only ever pause it.
    Cancelling it results in the entire game being deleted, thus requiring a complete new download of the whole game again.
