  1. Is auto update for games broken for anyone else?


    Under settings, I have it set for my games to auto update and I have my power settings set to instant on. As far as I can tell, this is what I need to do to have my games auto update. However, they never do. If I try to launch a game after not playing
    it for a while, I have to wait while it downloads a multi gig update. Sometimes, this means I don't have time to actually play the game once the update is done. Does anyone else have this problem or is there another setting I need to change to get this to
    work?

    :)

    Unable to download Assassins Creed Syndicate

    Is anyone else having the problem with a frozen Loading screen with Assassin's Creed Syndicate? I Installed the game It updated fine, but straight after you're in the Animus part of the game (Jacob running around in the white room) It goes to a black loading
    screen with the auto save Icon and Is frozen there, Is anyone having similar problems?

    Auto Update Games Feature Broken

    Hi O E, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I am sorry to hear that.

    I believe the games only auto-update if you haven't played them within the last 30 days.

    Please, report your feedback about this issue on the Xbox Insiders Reddit Forums*.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxinsiders/comments/1bfl6ck/xbox_requests_week_of_march_15th_2024/

    It's the fastest way to have your request heard.

    I hope this helps.

    Cannot uninstall Halo: The Master Chief Collection

    For anyone else who has this problem, one day later the mystery pending update has disappeared, the game is visible and playable and everything is working as it should. Obviously I restarted my computer many times trying to figure this out yesterday so
    that isn't it and there have been no further updates to windows or anything else. I have no idea why it was so broken yesterday and fine now

    Are 4k game captures broken for anyone else?

    Hi,

    I have no idea when the problem will be solved. Sorry i can not give you any more information..

    Info:

    To record game clips in higher resolution, you'll need to navigate to the Settings app of your console and manually enable the feature. By doing so, it also reduces how long temporarily recorded footage is saved from five minutes, down to two.

    1. Press the Xbox button to open the Guide.
    2. Scroll across to the System tab.
    3. Select All settings.
    4. Scroll down to the Preferences tab.
    5. Choose Broadcast & capture.
    6. Navigate to Game clip resolution.
    7. Select 1080p SDR.
    After enabling this option, all footage captured via Game DVR going forward will be recorded at 1080p resolution. To revert back to your previous resolution do the same as above but select your previous Resolution.

    Are 4k game captures broken for anyone else?

    HI,

    A few other members have reported the same issue on the forum. I am sure Microsoft are aware of the issue and are actively trying to sort this out. I am afraid you will just have to wait for the time being. Maybe try recording the clip in 1080p for the time
    being ?
