    I tried to update Fortnite for the most recent update and it kept telling me update failed and to reinstall the game so I tried that now when I try to reinstall it tells me “installation cancelled”

    Fortnite was not updating and asked me to reinstall the game so I have tried that now it is telling me “installation stopped” and won’t let me reinstall

    Hi Connor, I hope you're doing well. I am an Independent advisor, and I am here to help you.

    Let's perform troubleshooting steps on your console but please let me know if you have already performed the steps so we can proceed to the next steps needed.

    If an external hard drive is plugged into your console, please unplug your external hard drive for us to determine what is causing this issue. Please do not plug in your external hard drive while we perform troubleshooting steps.

    Please follow the steps to Power Cycle your Console:

    ​​​

    1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off. ​​​

    2. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller. ​​​

    Once done, kindly check if you will encounter the same issue. If the issue persists, please continue performing troubleshooting steps on your console.

    Please follow these steps but don't worry; you won't lose anything as long as your console is connected to the internet. Please be reminded that resetting your console will remove the accounts currently signed in on your console but you can add them back and you will need to set the account as Home Xbox if there are any.

    1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

    2. Select System > Settings > System > Console info.

    3. Select Reset console.

    4. Reset and Keep my games & apps.

    Once done, kindly check if you will encounter the same issue.

    Problem downloading games

    I already have it before you ask I already have it, and before you ask, I installed the game while I was facing this problem. If you want me to delete Fortnite and reinstall the game, I don't mind.

    Fortnite Install Stopped Error

    Tried the same thing and didn’t work for me.
    Having the same issue on Xbox one. Uninstalled Fortnite and when I go to install it wants to give me a 5mb update first. That’s seems backwards.. it should download the game first then ask me to update.

    It never updates,

    Fortnite - Microphone Won't Work

    I was just told by HyperX to uninstall Fortnite and reinstall it. I did that (don't worry, everything you already had stays put in the game) and just restarted it and the microphone is now working.
    Thanks for the update! I will have my son uninstall/reinstall Fortnite … hopefully it works. Thanks again for the info, much appreciated!
