Game installation pause delay

Sebastian Hahn · Jun 1, 2017

When downloading/installing games, if I try to pause an installation, there is always a long delay before the console responds. It doesn't freeze up or anything, and I can and usually do attempt several times to pause the installation (I don't think this
has any effect, but I do it anyway). Installations will eventually pause, but the delay is very noticeable (up to a minute or maybe longer) and somewhat frustrating; especially when I have several items queued and the xbox randomly stops a half complete download
and starts on a different one (necessitating pausing all queued downloads). Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Unable to uninstall a game

I have done both these options but nothing happens after I select uninstall, also nothing happens when I click on the option to pause installation. Although, the installation of the update is finished as I can play the game

Not delay itself as you describe it - but you have to turn off keeping games and apps up to date if not the next one shall start downloading when pausing one.

If you don't, next time you start console if will continue with one of the paused ones - in background.

I always buy on disk, so simulataneous disk install and internet downloads are running in parallell. so don't know about pausing from disk, never did that - only the download parts.

And I choose "later" as option to activate update download - to be in control and decide when I want to do that.

Multiple clicks on pause - one may cumulate and undo the other - and possibly why it takes so long for you.

I imagine other things like Cortana also actively listening, if using that, may cause console to do too many things, making response slower.

I carefully go through anything I ran and see to that they don't have the "quit" option - so I know they are not running.

If using quick boot or standby - meaning console always running to some degree checking for updates and stuff - I would turn that off as well.

Yes, I do. I found that if I set the xbox to 'go offline' the speed at which I can pause them is a LOT faster (still considerably slower than past XBox OS updates - but a lot faster.

Try this? (Yes, I do mean for DIGITAL DOWNLOADS too!)

I too had the same problem. I didn't realize that there was a paused installation I couldn't get rid of Until earlier yesterday. No matter how many times you select resume installation it stays paused. And the red install bar In the game stayed at 75% I
done a factory reset, that took care of the paused install and installed the game with no connection. Works fine for me now.

To pause an installation, press the start button (The one with the lines) on the game you want to pause installing, from there, select pause installstion.

Yes, the games will resume installing once the Xbox is turned on and is connected to WiFi.

I don't know about the 3rd one, you should read other replys or look it up.

Hope this helps!
