    Does not download when Xbox is turn off ("Instant On") with External HDD


    Consider the following scenario:

    - Xbox is configured for "Instant On" mode

    - Updates are configured to download when off

    - Storage is configured to power off when Xbox is off

    It appears in this scenario, game updates / downloads do not work when the Xbox is off. If I disable the turn storage off when Xbox is off, it appears to work as expected. Any one else experience this?

    :)

    Remote Purchases, Ready to Install when i boot up.

    I'm having the same issue with external hdd 2TB WD (it also have own power supply). I uncheked "turn off storage when xbox turned off", but downloads still not downloading. But if you turn off Xbox, of course i've it on instant mode, and then unplug and
    plug back usb from external hdd it starts downloading. This is probably the last of what I can do to starts downloading. I hope they will fix it.

    How to make external hard drive the main download drive?

    yes that's what I'm trying to tell you, instant on mode does not work. When I put it in instant on mode and I uncheck if Xbox is off turn off storage. That way when I turn the Xbox off I don't want the external storage to turn off but it seems to do that
    anyways. When I turn off the Xbox to download the DLCs or updates whatever, the power light on the power supply is white, the network is still trying to download the files because I could still see the network switcher blinking but the external hard drive
    is not powered on. So yes I know all about the instant on and the energy mode.

    External HDD spins and stops repeatedly

    You can turn off the external HDDs when the console is off by going to settings>power & startup>power & startup mode and stopping the HDD drive staying on when console is off.

    If your console is in instant on and set to keep all games and apps up to date this means that the HDD will power up/stay on to download whilst off.

    Xbox One X - USB-powered external drive always on!

    To turn off the external HDD, use this procedure

    If you're in Instant-on mode:

    Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

    Select System> Settings> Power & startup> Power mode & startup.

    Confirm that your Power mode is set to Instant-on.

    Unselect the option When Xbox is off, turn off storage.

    Xbox One Instant On VS Energy Saving and External HDD

    Hi thanks for the reply. I am still really confused why there is "When xbox is off, turn off storage" because what does it actually do if you unchecked it because so far I have it checked, all my updates are downloading and installing fine I can install
    disks onto my external HDD and then turn my xbox off in instant on mode and it just turns it self on and off when ever there is something to install so what is the actually point of having this option or am I missing something?
