Why does my Xbox one take so long to update a game?

i have a querstion and a suggestion.

question - was your xbox working fine before this and if so were there any signs of your xbox slowing down before all this happened?

suggestion - this may have been because of the recent update, as i also had this problem where EVERYTHING literally took forever to load, and when i finally wa sable to get into live everything was slow and laggy and unresponsive. basicvally i ended up getting
a whole new xbox, but what i can suggest to you is that if you have any other haddrive around try deleting your profile from your current hdd then recovering it on theother hdd and sign in, if it takes the same amount of time to sign in as the other it could
be something wrong the profile which i would highly doubt as profiles have little to no data to really corrupt and are easily fixed by deleting and recovering.

Set up a USB Memory Unit. Pull the HDD out of the console. Attach the USB Memory Unit. See if the problems persist. If not, the HDD's failing. Get it replaced under warranty.

The discs have to be installed because the disc readers can not read them fast enough during gameplay. All discs have to be installed, there is no way around that (PS4 does the same thing). When you are installing, it will usually download updates for the
game at the same time. If you try installing while in offline mode, that can cut down on the time.

Thanks I'll try that. I'm still not happy with this installing games though and waiting ages and only being able to have several games installed at once. It's a backwards step in gaming in my eyes.

Hello Miah,

We appreciate your report!

The Team Xbox is aware of the long wait time for playing games on Xbox Cloud Gaming beta. This is evident as the notification of Support page is showing this message:

Thank you for making cloud gaming so popular! We know that some players have been experiencing long wait times to play. If you’re waiting to play, rest assured we’re working hard to accommodate more players and improve your experience.

For update, kindly check the Xbox Support page to see if the messaging is still up about the Xbox Cloud Gaming wait time. Link: Xbox Support

Or you may try to play games at a later time.

Thank you for understanding.

Sincerely,
