Update Preview, my console turns off when i play a game

Hi NeguinhoBTNH23,

Sorry you're having issues with the NXOE. The folks over in the Early Access forums are the best ones to answer questions about preview features. Head over to this link, and re-post your question in the section.

"I noticed my HDD blinks off and on whenever the xbox console is turned off."

In the console settings, there is an option to turn off the external storage when you turn off the console, so make sure you enable that. Even with that option enabled though, if a new dashboard/game/app update is released, that will get pushed to your console
automatically (if you have automatic updates enabled), so the hard drive will turn on to enable that content to be downloaded, then it'll turn off again when it's done. Also, if you buy a game via Xbox.com or SmartGlass, the hard drive will turn on and the
console will download the game, then it'll turn off again.

That said, there does appear to be a bug in the latest preview dashboard that causes your external hard drive to turn on and off repeatedly while the console is off, even though it's not downloading anything, so be wary of that. I've reported the issue and
it's been acknowledged by MS staff.

I have issues with all my games and apps syncing. It i put my console in energy saving mode, its not as bad. When a game or app wont sync, I turn my console off, unplug it and it will sync. I know this is a memory dump issue. Btw, I am a (very aggrivated)
preview update member.

I am seeing this on the Xbox app when my console is turned off. When I turn my Xbox on it still says I'm playing the game. When I check my recent activity it is the last game I played before turning off my Xbox

Hi! I do understand this, and that's fine but that's not what I'm describing unfortunately.

When I get an update, I do hear it come on and it downloads and then it shuts off when it's done. But my issue is that even if there are no updates available, the very second I turn my Xbox off, the hard drive comes back on for 20 seconds. Then off for 20
seconds. Then on for 20 seconds. Then off for 20 seconds, and it does this for a very long time.

Like I said, it does it with every hard drive I've tried so I know the drive isn't the issue - and it does it with my friends console, so I know my console isn't the issue. Also I'm in the preview, but he isn't, so I know it's not a preview update issue
either.
