    Xbox Live is auto installing games on xbox


    Hi,

    Every free game I add from Xbox Live, is auto installing onto my xbox. I like to have it registered into my account and then downloaded at a later time. I have a bandwidth cap so its eating into that for games I just want, and I rather play at a later time.
    Is there a way to turn off auto install. Playstation has it when you add a game via the website, you click on a download button. I rather to do that then have this auto install. Some of these games are giant. Thanks!

    :)

    You can change the settings to prevent that.

    another thing I would do is check to make sure your console isn't set to instant on.

    I recommend against Smwutches suggestion of "un-setting" your Home Console.

    That prevents you from playing games if your console has no internet connection, and since you say you are on a metered connection, you might be unable to play games on your non-home console if the console is offline.

    NeoDan123 gave you the correct setting to prevent games from automatically downloading to your console. So I recommend you turn off the setting to keep your games and apps up to date.

    Since you want to control downloads manually anyways, you can also turn the console to power saving mode, which will also save you about 90kWh per year of electrical power.

    You will need to change your settings on the console.

    Instant on mode should be disabled.

    Keeping games and apps up to date should also be disabled if you are on a capped internet connection.
