Can't update game

Heya SilverCash38718.

What's going on when you try to update an Xbox One game? Do you get an error message?

If you haven't already, let's have you try a quick power cycle of your Xbox One, that might help clear up your update troubles. To power cycle, hold down the power button for 8-10 seconds until it shuts down completely, then power it back on. Keep us in the
loop!

It's part of the current service alert. Wait for that to clear up then try again. http://xbox.com/status

Hello there @DHG Thresh 011, I hope everything is going well!

Thank you for reaching Microsoft Xbox Forum support. I am sorry to know about the game situation, but I want you not to worry about it because I am here to help you out! I believe your console might need either a network reset or just a system refresh. I
would like you to go through the following steps to clear the Mac address and then perform a quick power cycle on your console:

Settings > Network Settings > Advanced Settings > Alternate Mac Address > Clear it and the console should restart. It would definitely help if you could restart the internet router while the console is restarting.

After going through the troubleshooting steps mentioned, I invite you to perform a quick power cycle by turning off the console and then unplugging all the cables. After 2 to 3 minutes, re-plug them back again, then restart your console.

Another thing you should check is your NAT type. I would like you to check your NAT type if open because that could sometimes interfere. to check for the NAT type you can follow the steps below:

Settings > Network Settings > NAT type => It should be open.

If the NAT type is not open, you will need to open some ports with your internet provider. These ports must be open for Xbox Live to work: Port 88 (UDP) Port 3074 (UDP and TCP) Port 53 (UDP and TCP) Port 80 (TCP) Port 500 (UDP) Port 3544 (UDP) Port 4500
(UDP).

In case the issue still persists after the previous steps have been performed here is the official link to all the network troubleshooting steps that can help sort this out for you.

In case the issue still persists, the next step would be to perform a reset on the console. To do so you will need to follow the steps below to perform a reset on the Xbox :

Settings > System > Console Info > Reset This Xbox > Reset and Keep my Games and Apps.

Note =>The "Reset and Keep my Games and Apps" option will not cause losing your games, but please be aware that you need to be completely aware of the email address as well as the password of your account before going for it because it will require you
to sign in to the account.

I wish you a lovely day, and I hope this helps you out! All the best!

Kind Regards

Stay safe, and happy gaming!

Hello!

Thank you for the quick and detailed reply! I went through each of the steps, and after trying each of the listed suggestions, just finished resetting my console, but keeping my games and apps, as the previous reccomendations still hadn't fixed the problem.
Upon attempting to launch the game, I am still receiving the same error message with my reset xbox. I am going to try reinstalling the game, but I have no idea if this will work. Any other advice will be helpful in case this does not work. Thank you for trying!

Sincerely,

Thresh 011

Can't open the game after update to 8.1. Can't access the store anymore as well. HELP

A post to tell about the update won't do any good if I can't get to the update.
