    Slow Game/App downloads when streaming to PC


    My games/apps seem to download extremely slowly (less than 1Mb/s) when there is much higher bandwidth available (confirmed via Detailed Network Settings) when I am connected to my Xbox from my PC via streaming.

    As soon as I disconnect, the downloads speed up to the expected speed.

    Any suggestions - other than disconnect from PC streaming when downloading?

    I have rebooted my router & Xbox and performed all the usual troubleshooting steps.

    :)

    download/install times

    Hello d3mon,

    Games larger in size will take longer. Take a look at the
    Troubleshoot slow game or app downloads on Xbox One     page it has a table which shows estimated download times. There are also some trouble shooting steps to try for slow game or app downloads.

    Please keep in mind that when using the internet for other things, like youtube, streaming movies, etc it can slow down your downloads.

    I would suggest you start an idea drive over at
    Xbox Ideas     as well concerning installation times. Thank you for any feedback in advance Slow Game/App downloads when streaming to PC :)

    Let us know if that helps!

    Slow Game/App downloads when streaming to PC

    Hi

    I would expect games and apps to download slower whilst you are game steaming to a PC as this will take most priority of the consoles available bandwidth. For the best performance both devices should ideally use a wired connection and not run wireless.

    Download performance

    Could it be so slow because I'm using the XBONEX via streaming? The W10 Xbox App was minimized for a while and when I restored it, I briefly saw a download rate of about 80MBps. When I restored the app the speed went back down to 1.5MBps.

    My internal network is all wired and 1GBps, so that's definitely not the issue. Could it be the XBOX app is the root cause for this? Can't see why because the streaming rate is 3MBps, but it does seem odd. When streaming games via Xbox app, I get in excess
    of 20MBps though. Microsoft?
    I would definitely stop all streaming services and just download the game and then confirm the download speed increase/decrease for the results minus the streaming.

    PC Xbox Game Pass - Slow Download Speeds

    I'm on gigabit internet as well.

    Xbox app on PC is the only slow app when it comes to downloads. Consistently caps out at about ~22MBPS (~175mbps) where as plenty of other game launchers such as Steam/Uplay/Battle.net pull upwards of ~100MBPS (~800mbps). I'm on a gigabit connection. Why is the Xbox app so slow to download and install games? Its pathetic.
