My games keep going from “installed” to “ready to install”. What’s going on?

i have an xBox One X with a 4 TB USB HDD. I have 126 games installed. However, starting a couple weeks ago, 66 of then (yes, its always that number) show as “ready to install” rather than “installed.” I go through each game and select “install” and it installs
instantly (because of course, it’s allready installed.) This has now happened three times in the past couple of weeks. I am at a loss as to how to proceed or make this issue go away. Assistance is welcomed.

TIA

Entered code on Xbox.com, won't queue for download on console

On Xbox One, go to My Games and Apps.Then go to the Games and if you keep on going to the right, past all the game tiles, you should see a section that says Ready to install. Find the beta and install it. Just wait until it says Ready to Play or else the
download will be corrupt

 

Hiding And un-hiding apps

Hmm interesting, I now found that if you go to the Installed games section, highlight the first installed game on your list, hold down LB, then quickly press RB and X whilst keeping LB held that then your shows the ready to install section where your list
of ready to install/hidden games will show.

What is also interesting is that once you leave that screen and go back to My games & apps the ready to install section will be empty again, so you have to do the whole process again.

Edit....Tried this a few times now and it works pretty well.

Also works for the apps section.

 

Hiya!

Paul from the Xbox Forums Team here to assist, it sounds like you're experiencing an issue with games staying installed on the external HD. What I recommend doing is performing a
Power Cycle on the Xbox One, as well as trying to connect the External to a different USB Port. I hope this information was helpful in resolving the issue, please let u know how it goes.

Happy Gaming!

The hard restart appears to have cleared the issue for now. All content is once again showing as “installed.” If it does it again, I’ll revisit this thread. Thanks for the info.
