Game update frozen and nothing works to troubleshoot

Gregory Sheats-Mueller · Feb 18, 2023

I tried to play minecraft on my xbox one s, and it told me it needed an update. The update froze and does not do anything. I tried pausing, canceling it, Uninstalling the entire game, restarting my console, and nothing works. I was trying to manage the game, and it said it didn't need an update?? I have tried everything and nothing has worked.

Update: it randomly left the update queue, but it is telling me it needs an update again. I can't play it but at least it is no longer clogging up my update queue. Please let me know if there is a way to solve this.

I've solved it! When it is in the queue, cancel the update. It will not cancel for a while so it may not seem to work at first, but after a while it will disappear from the update queue. If it still says it needs an update, uninstall it. This also appears to do nothing at first but again, after a while it will work. From there, just reinstall and it should work. It takes quite a while and seems to do nothing at first but there is quite a simple solution.

Well it's working now after restarting the Xbox a few times. Don't know why.

Ok now i's just sitting on the preparing console page and says do not turn off or unplug the power. I won't turn it off but it's been sitting there for an hour and doesn't seem to be doing anything. Pretty sure I'll need to send it in for repair.
