Unrealistic activity reporting for xbox

No1else · Feb 8, 2019

Lots of questions about activity reports not showing correct timings and I am in the same boat.

My sons activity reports show him being on longer than he actually is. For example it shows him online for 15 hours on a Wednesday and it cant be correct because :-

Xbox and W10 pc are not in his room.

Time zone is correct in settings

Xbox is turned off when he isnt playing

He sleeps for 8 hours and is at school for 8 hours. If he did NOTHING else the maximum he could possibly be on that day is 8 hours.

Anyone shed any light on this?

He claims that the Xbox updates his games when its switched off - is this true and if it does would it contribute to his activity report?

He has games like Fortnite on his phone too - if he played these on his phone, does this add to his activity time? Activity only shows the Xbox and the PC and I an struggling to see why the report shows unrealistic usage.

Are you sure no one else knows the passwords or has access to the account ?

Thanks for the replies:-

choppyseize He says that no one else has his account details.

ForzaDrift Girl I will get him to check that next time he signs on after school

Airiak Yeah,I discovered that this was possible. Would be interesting to see if this contributed to" activity"

The xbox can be setup to update while off, but I'm unsure if it contributes to activity time.

They're almost certainly cheating. If you see people with such unrealistic times, you should report them
