Xbox Game pass unpacking download not working

Hi there Taylor welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. Well, I suggest you try this:

Open the Settings app it is the gear in the start menu.

Open Accounts

Click Sign-in Options

Scroll down to Privacy

Uncheck "Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device and reopen my apps after an update and restart."

Restart your PC!

because the game is approx 135GB on PC but it requires a min of 150GB available and when downloading will require much more due to downloading and unpacking the files, once the files are unpacked and installed the temp files are removed.

but the thing with the downloads on xbox live is the game comes down unpacked, the more files there are the slower the transfer speed and games can contain thousands of small files which will go to crawl speeds, if it was one large file then the download
speed would stabalise at a faster rate, they should just download a zipped up package then unpack locally which would reduce download times and reduce data usage.

Hi

Yes console is paired with app.

I had a problem to download Forza Horizon 5 from the app but oddly today i have tried to download another game (Unpacking) and both the download has started.

Thanks

Ye I also had the same issue, but I set Unpacking to download and it worked fine.

I get the feeling it was a problem at Microsoft end and nothing we could fix.

Hi,

Are you having downloading issues though? What I mean is, are your downloads taking longer than expected?

When you download Xbox games via the Xbox Store, they often come down compressed in some manner, this is to cut down on the download time and bandwidth used. These downloaded compressed files need to be un-compressed or 'unpacked'. When this happens, the
download will drop and may even show a resumption at a faster download speed than you actually have, probably because the data is being cached. What I'm saying is, your games don't just to be downloaded, they are also need to be unpacked and installed.

This is especially common on the PC game store on Windows 10. I've seen some of my Xbox Windows 10 games go from 80% (with no downloading occurring) to 90% after a few minutes. This was because the system had actually completed the download and was unpacking
the downloaded files.

Hope that makes sense.
