  1. Installed games not in storage


    I have several games installed on my hard drive. currently they are not showing up on my "installed games" tab. Nor are they showing up in storage when I go to manage storage. I have removed my account and added it back, soft reset and hard reset my console.
    I can see my purchased games when I go to the website so I still have them.

    The strangest part is if I look for them in the store it says the games are installed and I can play from there. While it is good to know that my games are still there this is a ridiculous way to have to play my games. Any suggestions

    :)

    Xbox one games crashing upon launch

    Hi there,

    just to be sure, are the games installed on the internal storage device or an external storage device?

    If they are installed on an external storage device, please try and see what happens if the game is installed on the internal storage device and the external storage device is disconnected.

    How to Xbox series x the new one external hard drive doesn't take any updates even when you tell it to how do you do it

    Updates for the console itself will only install on the internal storage, and updates for games will only install where the games are stored. So if the game is installed on the internal storage, then the update for that game will install on the internal storage. You cannot pick and choose where an update is installed.

    Installed games not in storage

    happens at times, just restart your xbox or tun it off and unplug it for about 35 seconds and then plug it back in and start it up

    Installed games not in storage

    Hi,

    Not heard of this issue before, but it's not something that should be there. It appears your console has a bug. It should be fixable though.

    If you haven't already, you should try a hard reset. With the console on, hold down the power button until it goes off. Wait about 10 seconds and power it back on. Check your Installed games. If they now show, problem solved.

    If not, you should attempt a console reset. Please read and understand

    this guide
    fully. As there are two types of reset. One reset's the console's Operating System, but keeps your installed games and Apps. The other eases everything.

    You'll also need to know your account details to log back in.

    Storage for Game Install

    You can't install Xbox games onto a USB device. Xbox 360 games on the other hand, you can. All you need is the properly formatted USB device (Avoid flash drives, they die very quickly).
