    Games uninstall randomly


    This has happened a few days ago where some of my games got uninstalled and some of them didn't. I just got new games and I was playing them yesterday and everything was fine, all the games that i played were reinstalled, but this morning all the games were
    uninstalled and same ones were still there from the first time. This really pisses me off because I keep on having to reinstall everything. So if anyone knows what is happening, please let me know how to fix it

    :)

    Dance central: Spotlight freezes

    I have the exact same problem. I tried to uninstall/reinstall without change. Still freezes randomly.

    If I delete a game using uninstall from the XB1 hard drive what happens to all the save games etc associated with it?

    On the 360 they were always still linked to the game even if you uninstalled it but having uninstalled Tomb Raider today to create some space there is no reference to the game at all on the console even though there should be a saved SP game....

    Haven't heard of this happening before. Maybe you could try turning off instant off mode in your settings.

    I'm not sure what would be causing that... Did Ishan8123's suggestion fix the issue?

  6. seems to be odd. You may need to do a factory reset on the console as a last resort if it keeps doing that to your games and try and start fresh. May be a glitch or something causing it.

    games randomly uninstalling and not reinstalling

    Thanks for that and now kindly try to install with the hard drive plugged in. If it will not work, reformat will be the resolution.

    1. Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide, and then select Profile & system > Settings > System > Storage.
    2. Select your device, and then select Format.
    Reformatting did work, thanks!

    The only thing I have to do now is reinstall everything. Are you aware if this will remove any passwords I had (Roblox fortnite WWE 2k22 etc.???)

    games randomly uninstalling and not reinstalling

    Thank you for letting me know. To check if it's the console or the hard drive let's try to install a game with the hard drive unplugged.

    Please unplug the external hard drive then perform a powercycle before installing any game. Make sure to keep the hard drive unplugged.
    ​​​
    POWERCYCLE CONSOLE​​​
    ​​​
    1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off. ​​​
    2. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller. ​​​
    I was able to install stuff when it was unplugged (it worked when I clicked on MK11 but I paused because my internal storage is low on space) but I was able download stuff previously with it plugged in just not those certain games and apps. Should I pug in the hard drive and see if the power cycle fixed it or should I try something else now that we know it might be the hard drive?

    (in my previous message I got external and internal confused, my 2tb hard drive is my external hard drive. My apologizes)
