Unplugging Xbox One deletes Updating games/Apps

USSWISCONSIN94 · Aug 3, 2019

Ok been having this problem for a while and Support assist machine is honestly useless so figured to come here instead. Past few months and honestly the past 6 months been going to the local library to update my xbox as that (for now) is the only way to
update games/app on my Xbox. but for some stupid reason when i unplug my xbox and plug everything back in again (Xbox 1 S White 2TB, 4TB external Seagate HDD) any/all of my updates are just gone and do NOT appear after that to the point where i don't even
remember how many Games/App aren't updated anymore because of it. I don't know what to do and it's just pissing me off. Anyway to fix this as i really need it fixed as i can't remember most of the games i needed update and the automatic updater is pointless
and it treats the games that "updated" are done so doesn't do anything.

P.S.

Oh. like to add in case someone else sees it. It does show the games that were "updated" but if it's a disk then you need to put in the disk to start up the download again. another annoyance

:)

Just curious, what is it showing when you plug your Xbox back in? Do your games that you updated boot up after that at all, or do you get an error message saying that they need an update (even though you already updated them)?

None of the games were forced to stopped though (well not counting manually pausing it) as i paused them as it's easier to do so and wait for when i am able to update them for later. Really need to take some screenshots with my elgato to remember
which games/app need updates.

Might be just as quick to use pen and paper to just write them down.

I am online (least for now) but not the best internet (Pretty much bare-min speeds to play from a hotspot) so i don't update anything but i do mainly to see how big the update is as i like to know how big each update is and to find out why it needed a
update. I go to the local library as i am allowed to bring my Xbox there but also as it's the fastest way to update pretty much anything i have.

Just tried it and from the looks of it. if i didn't delete the game it returns to the progress that it was at when i paused the download so if i had it stopped at 10% and then unplugged, and back in and go to the game and try it, it tells me the game needs
to be updated to play it and starts from where it was before.
