Instant On Mode- Xbox Automatic Updates — Not working, always have to manually update.

I already have the xbox one set to:

Power Mode Instant On

and

Automatically Download updates and purchases

Even before, when I did not have this enabled this happened.

I don't think this is true:

" you can enable instant on mode on your Xbox One so when you are not on it and the console gets an update, it will do the update while you are not using it"

I get the same forced download whether I have the machine set for auto update or not.

And how am I supposed to know there is an update to do it manually????

If you leave your Xbox on 'Instant On' mode it will automatically download all the updates

I'm having the same issue. Downloads stop when the console is turned off even though both instant on mode and download updates automatically are selected. Also, I recently purchased a game from the web and it did not automatically download. I had to manually
download it on the console.

If you keep your console in Instant On mode the updates will go automatically overnight or at times you are not on. I haven't seen an update in ages.

Also if you are in the Insider Program updates are pretty frequent but you can always opt out of the program.

It was designed to be in Instant On always for quick wake-up (especially with "Xbox, On") so you can have it like that for as long as you like. It will also automatically check for other game and system updates overnight when it is like this, at which point
it will also download those. In theory, if you leave it like this you never have to manually update anything.
