  1. Why do all my games that I am installing say "installation stopped"?


    I was just downloading games from game pass, and all of a sudden, they stopped installing and just said "installation stopped" in the queue. One even says "Finishing things up..." when it was not nearly done with installing. When i click on them to try and resume them, it says "Give it another try" and "For some reason, %2 took too long to start". I can click "resume all" and it installs fine, but the same problem happens soon after. So far I have only tried powering it off and back on, which did not help. If this helps with the issue at all, I have an Xbox Series S. How do I fix this?

    :)

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    Good evening

    Is there space available on your C drive?

    even if the final destination is another drive it unpacks what is installed on drive C first.

    Why do all the games I try to install or updated say installation stopped?

    Hello April,



    Greetings!



    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



    It seems that you are having issue installing the games in your device due to an error. Let us help you get to the bottom of this.

    There could be several reasons why your game installations or updates are stopping. One possible reason is that your internet connection is unstable or slow, which can cause interruptions in the download process. Another reason could be that there is not enough space on your hard drive to complete the installation or update. If we may ask, what is the edition of Xbox console are you using?



    To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following steps:

    1. Check your internet connection and make sure it is stable and fast enough to download the game or update.

    2. Check your hard drive space and make sure you have enough space to complete the installation or update.

    3. Restart your Xbox console and try installing or updating the game again.

    4. Clear the cache on your Xbox console by going to Settings > System > Storage > Clear local saved games.

    5. If none of the above steps work, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the game.



    We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.

    Tomb Raider Definitive Edition Installation stopped

    Attempting now. I just cannot possibly fathom why it’s this one title that’s causing this issue. And I’ve seen reviews dating as far back as 2019 that this game doesn’t download at all.

    And it didn’t work, again.

    Installing, installation stopped. Installing, installation stopped.

    Happens for 4-5 times and then stays on Installation stopped. And when I hit resume it INSTANTLY says installation stopped.

    I’m just gonna have to call Microsoft, aren’t I? You’re being as helpful as you can, and I appreciate it.
