    Why does the Xbox app keep downloading a game when I never gave it permission to do so?


    About every week for the past month, the Xbox app on my PC will download the game "Wartales" and I'll see it in my library with the message "Just installed!". The thing is, I have never initiated the download on this PC. It just downloads on its own. Very frustrating as I don't want it stealing bandwidth and also, I don't want the game on my computer.

    :)

    Hi, MajorMoe3 my name is Jhon, and will be a pleasure help you

    I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing this issue with the Xbox app. It can be frustrating when games are downloaded without your permission. Here are some things you can try to resolve this issue:

    Check your privacy settings: Ensure that your privacy settings are configured correctly. You can manage your app privacy settings on Xbox by signing in to xbox.com, selecting your gamerpic in the top-right corner of the screen, selecting More options, and then selecting Xbox settings. From there, select Privacy & online safety, and then customize the privacy settings for your account.

    Disable automatic downloads: You can disable automatic downloads by going to Settings > All Settings > Power & Startup > Power Mode & Startups and deselecting “Automatically download updates and purchases”.

    Repair the Xbox app: If the above solutions do not work, you can try repairing the Xbox app. To do this, type “Xbox” into the Start Menu, select “App Settings,” scroll down to the “Reset” section, and try the Repair button.

    I hope this helps! Don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions or need additional clarification.

    Lack of Transparency on the reason for bans

    I'm not incorrect.How can it be theft if you agreed to it?

    If you think it's wrong then why did you agree to the ToU/CoC ?

    Theft is when someone takes something of yours without your permission or knowledge.

    If you are banned then you forfeit your digital content which means you can never download that content again on that account.

    You gave your permission for this & in doing so you also have knowledge that this will happen.

    So I am 100% correct,it is not theft.

    Xbox One is the worst consoles in my long history of console play - [Mod Removed - Inappropriate] Microsoft

    If it won't keep the system updated when I opt to allow it to wake for updates then what's the point of that setting?

    It should have been updating during the down time since I gave it permission to do so...but it didn't

    Xbox App & Permissions (7 Days to Die)

    All permissions related to any Xbox App-based games can't be edited. The official Xbox App does not allow you to change any permissions yourself. No permissions to edit anything related to it, or the game in question, in the registry either.

    I have used "take ownership" before on an Xbox App game with disastrous results. It seems that the Xbox App's permissions are so locked down that I am not allowed to touch anything, even when it is stopping me from launching the game.

    In conclusion, I should've spent my gamepass money on Steam instead T-T
