Downloaded software also installs itself on another Xbox One

GW1SXP-E5F9DAD1-DA4C-4F30-874A-058AEDBF4F26 · Nov 5, 2014

Hi,

If I download software (free or purchased) on my Xbox One, the same software also downloads and installs itself on another Xbox One in the same house.

The other Xbox One does not have my profile on it.

Thanks.

:)

Would you pay GameStop to Download Console Updates?

So you know how places like BestBuy and other retail stores offer system installs or other program installs on computers? I have a feeling that GameStop is going to offer Console Software Update services for a fee to those who cannot get access to an online connection to download the software updates on day one. Seeing how after the recent announcement of Microsoft changing their mind about some things, its still going to require a connection to download the software update that was already expected day one.

My question to you is, would you use the service if GameStop offered a Console Software Update service?

Updating Tips for Xbox 360 console software

Your Xbox console software always needs to be updated with new features for better performance.

Are you experiencing these types of problems?

• Disappearing Dashboard themes
• Missing Avatars
• Malfunction of the Kinect sensor

These can all be solved easily by updating your console software.

How to Update Xbox console software

You can simply update your console software in any one way as following:

You can install the updates from Xbox Live
or
You can install from the Game disc or USB Flash Drive or Burned CD or DVD.

How to Update from Xbox live

It’s very easy to update the console software from Xbox live. The only thing you need to do that is connect your console to internet.

Follow these few steps:

1. Press the Guide button on your controller, go to Settings, and select System Settings.
2. Go to Network Settings.
3. Select Wired Network or the name of your wireless network, if you are prompted to do so.
4. Press Test Xbox LIVE Connection.
5. Press yes if you are prompted to update the console software.

If you cannot connect your Console to the Internet, you can try to get support from the Xbox LIVE Connect Solution.

Or

You can update your software in other ways.

Update console software from a Game disc or Flash Drive or Burned CD/DVD

You can easily update your console software from a Game disc which includes a newer version of the console software. You need to perform the task at the time of starting. If you do not choose to update, you can do it at the next start.

You can also install updates from a USB Flash Drive. To do this, you need to download the updates and save them on your computer and then copy them to a USB Flash drive. Plug the Flash drive into your console and restart it. The installation will start automatically.

Note: If you are using Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7, unzip the downloaded .zip file and copy them to the root directory of the USB Flash drive.

You can also burn the downloaded files onto a blank writable CD/DVD. Then insert the CD/DVD into your console. Restart the console and the installation will start automatically. Press yes if you want to perform the updates.

Note: If you are using Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7, unzip the downloaded zip file and copy it to the root directory of the CD/DVD. If you are using an earlier version of Windows, you need special software like “winzip” to unzip the file. Then click to write or Burn.

There is no cost for updating your Console software. New games might require an update to the current software. In addition, Kinect games might not play properly with the back dated software. Always remember that you cannot get back to an earlier version once your software has been updated.

Make sure your console is set as your Home console. Even if your account is not on the other console, if you've used it and set it as your Home console, everything will download there.

OK. Thanks I had done what you have suggested. Hopefully that will sort it.

Well I can not give you real solid advise on this issue as i currently do not have access to the game itself, and the version on the Microsoft website is for xbox version for Windows 10.

The first thing is DCOM is a network related issue and can mean anything from Network software compatibly issue to Internet service provider carrying out maintence or the game server connection itself is the issue.

overall recheck your hardware and software are correctly installed have been updated especially third party software like Java and Adobe flash player as they can cause games not to launch to reset your windows firewall and restart your computer and try installing
the game again.

Also try different graphic setting occasionally game launch under different graphic setting to the recommended setting on the game site.

Check your Graphic update site to see if they actually include the game in there support information for graphic card as they sometime discontinue support for games if there is compatibly issue and they can not solve the issue with a future update.

Also if you download the game try installing the game after you move it to new folder location i.e c:\download to say D:\game store as example as the folder you down load into may not support all the installation from that folder cause it is protected and
or locked for some reason i found this out with NVidia Graphic installation not all the graphic files were correctly installed i also found out too the protection feature of Windows defender does not allow fully installation of software critical to the software
function until you change or turn it off.

Overall its probably best to see if it loads on another computer if available to rule our bad download to damage disc.

Example:

If you're installing a 40-GB file and it shows 25-percent downloaded (30 GB remaining) and your connection speed is 10 Mb/s, it should take about 4.4 hours for the download to complete. (This assumes the speed stays the same.)

Installing a game using a game disc also requires additional components to be installed in your console. It may also download additional updates for the game itself over the Internet which may also affect the installation time.

The Xbox One console features updatable software. This software includes the operating system as well as many system, game, and media apps for the Xbox One. During a system update, the software on your console is updated through a download-and-install
process. The system software updates may sometimes update the system’s firmware, but this is not common for most updates.

System updates help improve your experience with the addition of new features as well as improvement of existing features. The updates will be downloaded from the Xbox Live service directly to your Xbox One and subsequently installed.
