How do I install games faster????

Once again I regret buying an Xobox One..

I've been trying to actually use my Xbox One S, for you know.. gaming. However, I've been trying to install a game for about 4 days now. I have made it to 26%. It's not stuck, it's just the slowest thing in the entire world, and I don't have a week to wait
til the game installs.

I have read that this has been an issue with Xbox One, and admittedly I do not have the best internet where I live. HOWEVER, I should not take a game 4 days to only get to 26%.

Now I have read on multiple occasions that you can install a game much faster if you disconnect from the internet. I tried this and it did not work for me. It just kept telling me that I need to be connected to the internet to install the game.

I can't use my xbox like this. Any tips? Cause I'm ready to return it at this point.

Yes, it's a brand new Xbox One S. And yes, I am talking about installing a game from a DISC, not a dowload.

If your downloading games from the microsoft store i would recommend while its downloading to try and avoid playing apps and games as that could potentially slow town your download speed.

If your downloading a game from an xbox disk try goijng offline as i have seen and herd that it downloads alot faster

I hope that i have helped you with my reply

Are you installing from a disc ot do then yes disconnecting from the internet may speed it up but online assets will require an update.

Make sure there are no games or apps running

XBF Brad A is 100% correct.

I will add that while you're gaming or using apps on your Xbox, it will decrease the download speed of updates/installs quite a bit to maintain performance of whatever you're doing. So, if you want it to install something as fast as possible, don't use
the Xbox while installing games.

DISCLAIMER: All of this still depends on internet speeds for online updates/downloads.

As I've said many times before, I am not using my Xbox. I just turn it on to let the game install. I'm not ysing any other apps.

Hello, it is a negative point towards the platform, it is advisable to install the physical format game without having the console connected to the internet, because updates will surely come out and it is annoying. I recommend you cancel the installation,
disconnect the console from the network and install new games

Offline install only installs the disc. Here are the steps to installing
offline.

Go to solution 2 Take your console offline and install the game.
