Can't remote install to Xbox One from app or website

Kariodude · May 23, 2020

I've followed every guide I can find and it won't work. Instant-on is turned on, remote installs are turned on, console is set as my home console. Under default console, there's nothing there. Yet I can go to manage my Xbox on the app and remotely delete
games just fine, but I can't install anything. I even tried turning all of the options off, fully shutting down the Xbox One, turning it back on and changing all of the settings back. Nothing.

I've had this problem before (I was trying to do 5 downloads for MS points), and it seemed to be linked to Xbox server issues at that time. There have been server issues since yesterday, especially in Europe, so it might be a case of waiting until that is
all cleared up.

Hi xBPx PRIME,

Thanks for your post. I understand you are experiencing an issue with remote game downloads from your Xbox App. To Install games remotely, check out this article:

I hope this helps.

Hi There,

You must have games and apps ready to download in order for them to appear under the ready to install tab. This can be done by remotely downloading from the mobile app or purchasing games from the Microsoft website.

Thank you Ricardo. Do I need to do the “install to” remotely, via a website or Xbox app? Or can I do this via the console itself?
