    Can't cancel or pause game update / Blank Screen


    Two fold problem that I think are linked to each other

    Cannot cancel or pause a game update - I can use the Menu button fine, and see that a game is trying to update, but when I click on it, and choose "pause updating" or "cancel" - both options do nothing. Even after 10 minutes, the game is still showing as "udpating"

    Also, I'm getting a blank screen on start up. As mentioned above, I can use the main menu, but can't get to anything. I can't access Settings as it brings up the icon, and goes back to a blank screen. I tried the Microsoft Store option, and that does nothing.

    Menu does show that I have friends online.

    1) how can i stop the update (please don't suggest turning off wi-fi because I literally can't do that. I'm on a shared wifi access point and can't physically turn it off)

    2) why is my screen blank?

    :)

  5. Hi there Ripcurl808,

    Thanks for reaching out! I'm sorry to hear about the issue you may be experiencing with your Xbox One on a black screen.

    I would recommend to soft factory reset the Xbox console. There may be times when you want to reset your

    console's operating system (OS) to its factory defaults
    for troubleshooting purposes, but you want to Reset and keep games and apps installed.

    Since the console is limited in functions, please try the following steps:

    1. Power off your console, and then unplug the power cord to ensure that the console is completely powered off.
    2. Wait 30 seconds, and then plug the power cord back in.
    3. Press and hold the BIND button (located below the Xbox button on the console) and the
      EJECT button (located on the front of the console), and then press the
      Xbox button on the console.
    4. Continue holding the BIND and EJECT buttons for 10-15 seconds.
    5. Listen for two “power-up” tones a couple of seconds apart. You can release the
      BIND and EJECT buttons after the second power-up tone.
    6. The console should power up and take you directly to the Xbox Startup Troubleshooter.
    7. Select Reset this Xbox.
    8. Select Reset and keep my games & apps.
    Note: When doing this troubleshooting step, Make sure to have your emails and passwords for your Xbox profiles on the console. It will log you off the profiles and your wireless network.


    Try this out and let us know the results.

    New update for games

    Hello Arash,

    Thanks for coming to the forums. We understand have a question on updates. Are you pausing or cancelling the update at all? If you cancel and try and update later, this will uninstall the game to prevent corruption. Also if updating and it continuously stops
    or pauses it can reinstall the complete game.

    Hope this helps.

    Xbox Updates

    Try to maybe cancel the update for the other game then update the game you would like first or pause of the other game.

    Xbox uninstalled the whole game just to do an update

    Sometimes during a game update you can mistakenly delete the entire game while trying to pause or cancel the update.
