    'Xbox off storage off' when Instant On mode is enabled


    I have 'Instant On' mode enabled, but 'Xbox off storage off' is also ticked. Does this mean background updates happen as normal, or should I untick this? Surely to do background updates, storage needs to be on I'd have thought? I've recently
    done a factory reset and those are the settings that it came out with so thought I'd leave it, but wanted to make sure anyway.

    All comments and input is welcome, thank you.

    :)

    Xbox One X - USB-powered external drive always on!

    Have you enabled the option “When Xbox is off, turning off storage” in Settings > Power Mode & Startup?

    'Xbox off storage off' when Instant On mode is enabled

    Hi MiniMango99,

    That's actually for external storage. So if you're using an external drive for your games, and you want those updated then you'll want to have storage on. If you only have an internal drive, then everything will still update regardless of what is checked.

    Hope this helps!

    Xbox One X not downloading games while in stand-by mode.

    Is the power mode set to "Instant-on"? Set it to "Instant-on" if it isn't already.

    Also, leave the box unchecked for the option that says, "When Xbox is off, turn off storage".

    Hopefully this helps!

    Xbox One X - USB-powered external drive always on!

    To turn off the external HDD, use this procedure

    If you're in Instant-on mode:

    Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

    Select System> Settings> Power & startup> Power mode & startup.

    Confirm that your Power mode is set to Instant-on.

    Unselect the option When Xbox is off, turn off storage.
