    It is a real bother, having a free minute and booting up the XsX to get a message YOUR GAME IS UPDATING. 39GB and no way to start the game.

    Either add a way that games can download first and then install, or add a time schedule that this can't be done during daytime (similar to windows 10 update schedule).

    That's all in order. I've been going through it all before i posted. The Xbox had been used that same day only hours before so hence my reaction on the fact it locked me out of playing for more than 1h due to an update.

    Better to turn the network connections off i guess, but the bad state of DRM the Xbox is having seems to also not allow that.

    Anyway thanks for the quick response.

    Hello,Sjoerd.

    1. Sign in on your console using the same Xbox profile you’ll be using on your mobile or PC app.
    2. Press the Xbox button  on your controller to open the guide and go to Profile & system > Settings > Devices & connections > Remote features.
    3. Check the box to enable remote features.
    4. For the power mode, select Instant-on.

      Note If the power mode isn’t Instant-on, remote features won’t work. This is so installation can start even when you’re not there to turn on the console.
    This so when their is a update the console should do it before you play on your xbox.

    Hope this helps and Happy gaming!!

    Halo 5- free to play until July 5th

    Hello everyone :)

    .........

    I un-installed this game a long time ago and I have absolutely no intention of re-installing it.

    ..........

    It took me 3 1/2 hours to install this game when I first installed it. It would probably take me 4 to 5 hours to re-install the game now.

    ..........

    Have a nice day or afternoon or night everyone :)
