    Separate Games & Apps from "Always Keep Games & Apps Updated" from settings!


    u/Xbox-Insider & r/xboxinsiders

    For the love of all that is holy! Please separate Games from Apps in the setting "Always Keep Games & Apps Updated". Some people just want only APPS to automatically update.

    I've recently come to the point where I have way too many games installed. My digital collection has grown to the point where if I ever have this option enabled, my bandwidth goes down the drain. Imagine having 200 games installed and nearly 20 of them or more have updates? Each update possibly 5 to 20 gigs in size? It was ludicrous!

    So I unchecked the option and now manually update games that I want to play or update. The problem is that this also removed apps from automatically updating.

    Apps in general are relatively small and won't hog my bandwidth. I don't mind these things to automatically update, like the Microsoft Store or the XBOX Insiders app, HULU, Netflix, etc...

    The problem is I can't have them automatically update, because the feature is TIED to games as well. Why can't we have separate categories or check-boxes to update Games or Apps automatically? Given this day in age where practically everything is going Digital, I'm surprised this hasn't already been done.

    There isn't even a location where we can tag specific games to ALWAYS UPDATE. Instead it just keeps EVERY game in our library updated. That's a huge bandwidth hog. Some of us do have bandwidth restrictions you know.

    Please think about separating Games from Apps in "Always Keep Games & Apps Updated" in the XBOX settings menu. Thanks!

    When you say no to a download and several hours later when you turn your console of it starts!

    Chief JoBoo answered this all very well.

    I’ve noticed consistently that when I start my console first thing in the morning from instant on (also keep my games and apps up to date) that Ill always have several in the “update” section. So I’ve been hit with the bug that games aren’t updating when
    set to (the exact opposite of your issue). Every time I will then see these same games and apps the next day in the queue section as being finished updating so they DO update overnight a day later by themselves.

    Minecraft crashes on ipad when "Join multiplayer games" is enabled on Xbox Family settings

    Hello Tony jansen,

    Can you try to uninstall the app from his Ipad, enable the "Join multiplayer games" setting and download it from the App Store again please?

    It is possible that the game is not updating properly the settings, and thus crashing.

    Please update us on the issue.

    XBox One : games displayed in children "My games" menu

    Hello, pdegiorgi

    Sadly there is no separate way to display games, in the My games and Apps where a game will be excluded from display.

    I actually keep my games on a separate hard drive and when i unplug my hard drive the games are saved on it but not on the console. That may be the better option for you.

    Hope this helps.
