    Do game updates download/install when in standby with instant-on enabled?


    Ok so everytime I hear there is a huge game update (Dead Rising 3 (13gb) or BF4 (several GB updates)) I notice that when I turn on my xbox1 I never get prompted to download the update. All that happens is I get a notification saying Installation started...and
    literally 5-10 seconds later I get another notification that says the same game name and LAUNCH. Am I to believe that all my game updates are happening in the background even when the system is in standby and all the xbox one does when you turn it on is takes
    10 seconds to install these updates? I never saw anything about this for sure....thanks

    :)

    XBOX ONE console outages - times when I cannot use my XBOX ONE because it's unexpectedly decided to do some maintenance.

    My OS updates happen in standby, I don't even see them. All games' updates download in standby and I only have to let them install, which takes 10-20 seconds. Do you have your system in a Instant On mode?

    Xbox One Installing Game Updates

    I thought the X1 was supposed to update games whilst in instant-on standby mode, but when I checked for BF4's game update, it didn't notify one was available or tried to install it until I launched the game and accepted the update. If it required me to launch the game to trigger it and accept it, how would standby mode ever be able to install them.

    The PS4 automatically adds game updates to your download queue and notifies you about it or if you activate internet in standby mode it will install game updates in standby, which is what I thought the X1 was supposed to do.

    Wondering the same, would be nice if you received notifications of standby downloads like on the PS3/PS4. I put my Dead Rising 3 disk in this morning just to see what would happen.

  5. Well it does download in the background, yet not like you think. I'm speaking of when its in standby and for instance your not home, I would hope it would downloaded without intervention so when you slap in the disk or from your digital it would be ready
    to go. Instead, i had to slap in my disc and then wait for it to download in the background at that point. True standby for me would be it understands i have the game installed and downloads in the background on its own instead of me initiating it. That to
    me is true standby/background updating when it does it automatically when your asleep,away. etc.

    Push to install a game to Xbox?

    Yes remote installations is enabled..

    And yes it's set as my 'home' console..

    BUT... now that i have the xbox turned on (not sitting on standby) it's showing in the list...

    Shouldn't it be able to do it in standby with the instant on feature turned on?? That's the whole point of instant on isn't it? So it can download while 'turned off'

    I am sick of Xbox one taking me offline to do updates!

    Hello when a new update is released you can manually download it in Settings - System - Update Console.

    Only after a period of time has passed will the update become mandatory to install, hence forcing you to do it.

    If you do not like this you can enable instant on mode on your Xbox One so when you are not on it and the console gets an update, it will do the update while you are not using it then return back to standby mode.
