Games and updates uninstalling overnight

As @julian_ suggested, I'd do a power cycle. Please keep in mind that it may also take a while for your console to read games on the external drives. I am having the same issue. It may take up to 5 minutes for a 4tb drive to fully recognize all games installed
on it.

Hi MagazineAnt2915,

Thanks for reaching out to us. I'm sorry to hear that this has happened to you. Based on the information you've provided, if the games that were on the external HDs have disappeared, then the first thing I would have to ask is if the console is still recognizing
those drives. You can test to see if the drives are recognizable by connecting them to a PC. If you'd like to reinstall those games that are not appearing in Ready to Install, then you simply need to go to the Microsoft store, look up the title and
select to install the game from there.

I would also ask if you received any error messages or codes after you turned on the console after the

screen went black the night before. A shut down of they system of that type would indicate that there was something interfering either with your ability to see images or could indicate an issue with your internal HD or an

update that didn't install correctly.

Please update us as to anything else you have tried and I hope that this helps out.

Hi! Performing a hard reset/power cycle usually helps in this case so that your games should show up afterwards again: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/console/power-cycle-console

Thank you! I did the power cycle and they were all recognized as installed rather than being split into installed and uninstalled as it was. That was thag simple of a fix. Thank you!

Finally got it -- there was a Microsoft update installed on my PC overnight -- when I uninstalled it, the games worked again; no freezing on the ads.
