Turned off Xbox One X during game update

Hello

If you canceled the update that means the game will completely uninstall. You most likely will have to reinstall the whole game. Which is basically the same size as the update anyways. Its like 40 GB.

Everything else should be fine.

The console itself is fine if it was just a game update. It'll have to continue the update or possibly reinstall the game when you're back on.

Hi There,

No, it is not normal for your Xbox to turn itself on in the middle of the night. And for the cutting off during an update sometimes the Xbox needs to restart during an update so that is normal, but if it is turning off and not restarting during an update
that is not normal.

is it supposed to turn on though?

As stated above this occurs when the console checks for a system update and the time, 3am, is around the time when its mandatory to update, US time.

During the stage between Verifying and Applying, when the consoles restarts during the update, the Xbox button on the console will flash or pulse about 15-20 times for a XBox OneX and about 6-10 times for a Xbox Series X.

So, the consoles are designed specifically to turn themselves on in the middle of the night to run updates? That is a seriously bad design if you ask me...there's no reason for it to do that. None of my other electronics turn themselves on...my TV and PC both update when I turn them on. Looks like I'll start unplugging my Xbox at night in that case.

Having said that, neither my One X or Series X have installed system updates when turned off...they wait until I turn the thing on

It's a glitch in the recent Xbox One update. Just hold the X logo on the Xbox One for 10 seconds to force it to turn off. Then turn it back on. I believe the March 4 update will fix it.
