Why XboxOne takes forever to install? Is it normal?

StinkyTrout56 · Feb 17, 2014

my xbox one takes approximately 3 to 4 days to download/install a game demo. Is this normal or is it that my x1 is defective? Please help!!!! And also today it all in a sudden it doesn't hear my voice command any more. When I say "Xbox" it doesn't show those
green letter so could some one help please?

Question:

1) Why does it take so long to install a game demo. (3 to 4 days approximately)

2) Why doesn't it recognize/hear my command anymore? What do I do to get it hear me again?

:)

Installing games takes forever why ?

This is freaking slam on xbox. It should never take this long for a disc based game to install. Especially since they make you install it. I like putting my game in and playing it. That's the whole purpose of getting the disc. I feel they are making
you pay for the counter of doing just download only debate. Get it fixed xbox or im buying a playstation 4 and it looks like you really can't afford that. I want to be loyal but this is not needed.

Installing games takes forever why ?

Because they will download the update/patch first, before installing from Disc. The DR3 patch is 13GIGS!!! so depending on your network and ISP that may take you overnight, then it will start installing from disc.

If you're installing games from a disc it shouldn't take anywhere near that amount of time. If you are downloading games from the online store, that depends on your internet speed and/or network configuration.

Not sure what to tell you about it not recognizing your voice, other than to reboot the system by unplugging it from the power outlet and wait about 30 secs and then plug it back and power it back on.

thanks Soaked1nBleach! followed your advice, unplugged the power outlet 30s plug it back and power on. Now it works fine recognizing my voice perfectly. Thanks. About installing demo from the online store. From reading your reply I guess it's probably my
internet speed.

Question, could I configure my internet speed to go faster from my X1 or do I have to call the cable company for that?

If you're internet speed is the issue, then you would need to contact your internet provider to see about increasing your speed.

Its the games patches that your installing that's what takes so long.

You have to install the patches before you can play the game.
