    Why can't we permanently disable Quick Resume?


    I abhor the Xbox Quick Resume "feature." It causes -way- too many problems with on-line games that NEED to load fresh every time from start to make sure any updates are properly loaded. And I'm almost positive that I completely lost my Expedition 33 save game because of the feature. Was playing downstairs on Series S. Exited to title menu of game and shut down system. Went upstairs to play on Series X (which tried to quick resume to when I was playing last up there), and the game said it needed to close. Upon opening again, only had options for "New Game" or "Settings." Tried downstairs, EXACT same sequence occurred. Talked to MS support, they had me try all kinds of things to get it to work, as the save game was still in the cloud. But game won't recognize it, even though it shows "syncing" if I delete the local copy of the save game so that it has to reacquire it from the server. 100% don't think this would have happened without Quick Resume, as the game would have gone through the process of checking the server for a save file upon startup, instead of trying to quick resume me into a game that didn't match the server's save file.

    Please, PLEASE give us the option to permanently disable Quick Resume if we prefer that. It's to the point where I just want to switch to gaming on a Steam Deck because I don't feel like that wouldn't be a problem there.

    How much would it cost me to have quick resume disabled on my Xbox?

    Disabling quick resume is being explored, but there is no ETA on when it will happen or even if it can. Quick resume is baked into the hardware at very low level and may not be able to be disabled.

    Why can't you completely disable quick resume?

    because it's a basic part of the operating system that cannot just be disabled without potential catastrophic consequences. It's the same reason why you can't delete your achievements. You don't want to remove things from a giant database because he couldn't have cascade failures that wipe everything.

    Disabling quick resume is currently being looked into according to Phil Spencer, whether or not it can be done is still up in the air, and the next time there is news, there will be some kind of public announcement, likely as part of a major system update

    GTA Xbox series S quick resume

    Quick resume is not something that can be disabled at this time. You need to go out to the dashboard, hit the start button on the game, and go to quit to ensure it does not enter quick resume

    Need Options to Permanently Remove Game from Quick Resume

    I just swapped out my 2 new S consoles back to my old beat up first gen Xbox One's because of Quick Resume. Why can't there just be an option to remove it permanently from the games we as users select? Until this is possible I will just deal with my old Xbox One's many shortcomings. Makes no sense. Please fix this Microsoft.
