  1. Game Updates not automatically downloading


    I have my xbox one's start-up and shutdown setting on instant on with the three options enabled and none of my games are downloading the updates until i try to play them so I end up having to wait for them when they should have downloaded while it was off.does
    anyone else have this problem?

    :)

    Xbox One not automatically downloading updates

    OK, so i've had my Xbox One since launch, had to get a replacement as i had a faulty disc drive but that's by the by.

    My power options are set to Instant-on, with ticks in Wake up Xbox by saying Xbox on, and in Automatically download updates, but not in resume games quickly.

    Over the last couple of months there have been various game updates rolling out, but not one of them has downloaded automatically. Whenever i go to launch a game, it says there is an update required. For example, today it's downloading a 2.1gig update for
    Powerstar Golf. Couple days ago there was a huge update for Garden Warfare that it started to download only after i tried to launch the game.

    I thought the whole point of this "Automatic Update" function was to make it so i don't have to wait for 1+ hours for an update to download before i can play.

    To add insult to injury, you can't update a disc based game without the disc being in the drive, so even if auto updates were working, it wouldn't update my two disc based games (Forza and Dead Rising, which recently had a huge update). without the disc
    being in. Also, if i try to launch one of these two disc games and a patch is required, i then can't launch any other game at all without doing a full on disable of Instant-on, and full shutdown. Otherwise, any game i try to launch shows the loading screen
    and then just drops back to dashboard again until i do the aforementioned shutdown.

    Even the Blu-ray player, which is utter garbage by the way and drops to the dashboard randomly while playing discs, needs to be updated manually every couple of weeks.

    There is nothing wrong with my internet connection, both my PS3 and my PS4 have no trouble connecting to PSN in the middle of the night to sync PS Plus or download updates and purchases automatically, it's just the Xbox that isn't living up to it's advertised
    functionality.

    Same thing is happening to me. Really annoying after a long day of work when gaming time is limited.

    My download completely got deleted

    You have to download the game again and the update will automatically be downloaded

    how do I install the Powerstar update?

    The update, as all updates do, will install automatically when the game is loaded. If you recently downloaded the game the download already contains the update. The original download was approximately 3.2 GB, the current download is 3.88 GB.
