Game Continues to Install Itself on Xbox Live

Ed Bice · Dec 29, 2023

So I had the game Lamplighters when it came out on Game Pass, predownloaded it and all that. But ever since I uninstalled it, it's been downloaded to my computer almost daily, and I haven't been able to keep it from downloading itself automatically to my computer.

I've tried setting downloads to require me to give approval, but it's still appearing on my games list every morning like a ghost. Is there a section I've been missing that has an "auto download" list, that I can get Lamplighters off of asap?

I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Xbox app, but the issue persists.

Thanks for any help.

I hope so! Please, let me know.

Unfortunately no, the problem persists. Turned my computer on today to find it trying to download Lamplighters.

Hi Ed, my name is Rodrigo.

I am sorry to hear that.

Please, clear the XBOX App settings, this should fix it.

Press the Windows key+X > Select > Apps > Xbox > Advanced > Repair

Let me know if it works!

Went through with the repairs, fingers crossed if this keeps Lamplighters from redownloading!

Hello Ed B,

Unfortunately, I don't have any further troubleshooting to offer.

There are many knowledgeable users active on the forum and I hope that someone else can offer further insight on your issue.

Thanks,

Rodrigo
