I have a question about Xbox One Energy-Saving and Instant-On.

Hi WarZMakerZ,

Thanks for reaching out to us today! To answer your question, It is normal for the USB port to still work even on energy saving mode. Having your console either on energy saving mode or Instant-on won't affect the functionality of the USB ports on the Xbox.

For more information in regards to the Power settings on Xbox One check out this article:

' About energy-saving and instant-on power modes.'

I hope this information is helpful.

Instant on for me.. haven't seen an update in months (except destiny which sometimes has to install when you launch) but they are a matter of MB

I have had my Xbox One using Instant On since Day One. Instant On is the the way to go for sure. I also have not seen a game update on I don't even know how long. Nor a console update.

I've used instant on with background updates since day one, I wouldn't know what a game update looks like anymore. I've also got the digital TV tuner so my Xbox boots straight to TV now which is awesome.

The storage off option is for external drives so it stops the drive from constantly being on when the console is powered down.

I see no positives IMO of putting it into power save mode.

Energy saving for me since I bought it, with the occasional Instant On if I'm downloading games off the Marketplace. Updates don't bother me that much, since I had to sit through them last gen and I'm still here.
