Games/updates won't download if Xbox is off

Hey MessiahBrowny!

Power mode instant on means your Xbox goes to sleep and will download game updates, app updates and console updates while its "off" - it will have some tasks that login and check but it uses very low power to do so - it will also answer "xbox on" in this
mode.

Power mode energy savings means the xbox does actually turn off, it won't download updates while off, it will prompt you to download them when you play a game or launch an app that has a pending update. In those mode you actually see the green screen during
bootup and it takes a little bit longer to start.

Hope this answers your questions!

You can play Xbox One games offline. You just need to make sure the game has completely installed the update. Because updates download automatically, Xbox still wanted you to know that the game had an update and therefore prompts that popup to "finish" the
install.

As you said you work on a ship, I would recommend putting your console into energy-saving mode. This effectively makes it operate like the 360 did, where off is off, and on is on. As a result, updates are not automatically downloaded but you are instead
prompted to install updates when you start up a game and are connected to the web. This way games won't download updates without your direct knowledge and you'll be ready for offline whenever.

Seems a lot of ppl are having this problem....it worked perfectly, downloaded the updates, downloaded some games and apps, played it for a while and then you turn it off and it won't turn back on? Sounds like some kind of software glitch from downloading
something.

Mine also won't turn off also wouldn't load downloaded game now got no picture and a Xbox flashing on and off

When your console updates a game and you turn off your Xbox, it goes into background download mode where it will download the update while the Xbox is off. Once the download is finished it will be available to all accounts.
