How do I get my game to install when it won't even start.

Hi there. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

Please try the following steps one at a time to resolve the issue:

Solution 1: Do a power cycle to clear the cache of the console

1. Turn off the Xbox console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds until it shuts down completely.

2. Unplug the console's power cable. Wait 10 seconds.

Important Be sure to wait 10 seconds. This step resets the power supply.

3. Plug the console power cable back in.

4, Press the Xbox button on your console to turn on the Xbox console.

Solution 2: Try setting up manual DNS settings and see if that lets you update the game.

1. Please go to Settings > Network > Advanced Settings > DNS settings >> manual

2. Primary DNS: 208.67.222.222

3. Secondary DNS: 208.67.220.220

Solution 3: Please try setting up a mobile hotspot connection using your phone, then connect the console to the hotspot connection. Try installing the game again and see if it works.

Solution 4: Do a factory reset

1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

2. Select System > Settings > System > Console info.

3. Select Reset console.

4. Reset and keep my games & apps.

I have done this, the problem is still ongoing. It won't even show I have games installed, even disk games. I've found a workaround, I put all my games in a group and the games show up in the group, but I have to press list(start for us old timers) and go
to manage game and then click the game in my installed list to start them. It works, but every new game has to be added to this group or it won't show up, and the method to actually start a game gets tedious real fast

I assume you are installing from Disc. Could be an issue with the disc itself. Do you have a friend that has the game where you could swap discs for the install. Even if the disc won't install, when you swap back, it should still be good enough to start
the game after it's installed.

Check your system files and see if it is there. Do you know how to do that? Console dashboard, system, storage, games etc.. Find Skyrim and see if the Title Update and the DLC are even there. If so then when you get to level 10 or higher ask around and it
should start. It won't start until your level 10 or above.
