ok heres the deal xbox one bought on a whim 2 years or so now and I DID NOT NOR AM I SIGNED UP FOR ANY UPDATE PROGRAM!!!!! i confirmed this with the app and console. i hardly play it. the last time i turned the thing on was probably 6 mts or so ago. but
EVERY time i turn it on i need an update....i have like 6 games.....thats it what could possibly be so earth shattering important that i cant do [mod removed] till its done? another thing i bought the 500 mb one for games....i figured i dont play a lot so
500 mb is more than enough. so what happens now that its filled up?????? i know im very ignorant on these things but it seems like a very bad system poorly designed....so if someone could explain why i need to update then maybe i could understand and accept
it. thank you.

Me too every 2 days. And I to called support and got no answers. I am part of the preview program so maybe there is a problem there idk? But getting annoying. Though

Yes, preview is the problem, but if you want to quit preview, you have to wipe your Xbox and if you have some hundred gigs thats a pain. Microsoft should first give explicit info that if you join preview you get updates all the time and also inform that
you will lose everything on your box if you quit preview. The option to just stop preview without wiping should ofcourse be a part of this deal but thats to much service I guess......

Kids was gonna watch their favoritetvshow now, but they cant cause its the daily halfanhour stupid update..... What where you thinking on this one Ms? Can it be more annoying?

new question guys.....sry for the long pause.....XBOX ONE PAPER WEIGHT FOR SALE.....CHEEEEP!!!!!!! ok since my 3 games from 2000 the ones that havent crashed since i first turned on the xbox.....the really secure ones.....ok the question is how to delete
the updates/....which have taken up my ava hdd space on my xbox????and can this be done w/o deleting any of the game info? thanks.

the updates dont really take any space, they replace files, as for the hdd space being used, after format and system reserved space is taken into account you have approx 340gb of space available for game storage.

If you have say call of duty ww2 installed thats approx 80gb or more then halo 5 thats over 100gb in size.

games these days take a huge amount of space, nothing you do will give you more free space without deleting existing games.

what games do you have installed.

Hi David,

The updates are actully important. Sometimes they will be bug fixes to stop crashes and other problems, Sometimes they will be security updates and some will add new features to make your gaming experience better.

I understand the frustration at turning on the xbox for a quick gaming session and been faced with an update instead, ive done this before also. But they are for the best otherwise you could be here reporting you cant play on your xbox because of constant
crashes instead.

As for filling your storage i would recommend buying a external storage. Unfortunately there isnt a single storage device big enough to fit the vast games xbox has available so the only option is to remove games or invest in a external storage device.

I hope this answered your question david.
