  1. My xbox is downloading random games


    Over the past couple of hours my xbox has started downloading like 7 different games all off of the game pass. I bought the console new and have never game shared with anyone. Also the only accounts are mine, my brothers, and another one I created. And
    my brother says he didnt install them. It stopped now but it was weird. Any explanation to why this happened?

    :)

    Random Games Downloading

    Was there any other accounts that you had on that console that you gave to your sister that you were sharing that had that console set as its home console (either your own account or maybe a friends account)?

    The only way that this would happen is if there was an account that had that console set as its home console (even doing a factory reset does not change which accounts have that console set as their home console). Whenever a console is set as an accounts
    home console and a game is purchased on that account and it is setup in the settings of the console to automatically update the console and games then any game that is purchased on any account that has that console set as its home console those games will
    automatically download to that console.

    I'll give you an example.

    Say the console is still set as your profiles home console and you purchase a new game and that consoles settings are set to automatically download updates and games then it would automatically download that new game to the console.

    You said that you did not purchase these games then their may be a possibility if you were sharing with a friend that had that console set as their profiles home console and either they never set another console as their profiles home console or the home
    console for the profile was not turned off on your sisters console.
