What happens if I completely shutdown my Xbox

What happens if I completely shut down my Xbox

It just won't install updates in the background automatically and will also take longer to boot up.

Hi John, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

It will stop all applications/games, and it will stop all background updates that may take place.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello AgEd77, this may be happening because it is not doing the full shutdown on the console, to do this must do the full shutdown through the console settings.

Xbox will only turn off completely if you're in: General Settings » Health and Boot Mode"Total Shutdown.

And if we do clear up space then copy all games to there, do I then factory reset the Xbox?

You can copy games to an external hard drive. His saves are stored to the cloud by default.
