  1. Xbox One downloading while off/instant-on


    My console has been set to instant-on setting since release day, but it will not download games/updates when it is turned off. When I turn off the system it stops the downloads of games and never automatically installs updates. Any ideas anyone or do I just
    have a faulty system?

    :)

  2. Downloading while in instant on

    Is her Xbox currently on, as in, is she playing? 'cause it could be that while the Xbox is in use, ie playing, it won't initiate download on it's own to prevent potential lag for the user.

    As for the Xbox being "off" but in Instant On mode, it should download automatically. I don't know if there is a delay from the item being bought and to where it starts, but mine is always finished when i get home if i bought something while at work. If
    it is not working, you might need to powercycle the Xbox (Holding down the Xbox logo button on the console itself for 5 seconds until it powers down, and the power supply is glowing orange, then restart. This usually fixes a lot of things.)

    Hope you get it working.

    It could also be the servers responsible for the initialization request for the download that arent a 100% yet if this started or mostly happened during the holiday attacks on Xbox Live. I'm just speculating here though.

    Are you using an external hard drive? Have you set that to turn off when the console is powered down? If so, that may be the issue.

    Pushing downloads to Xbox One

    You can download games with the console off. In settings select Power and Startup and set your console to instant on. This will enable background downloads while the xbox one is off.

    How do I set my Xbox One to turn itself off after downloading a game?

    Just download it while it's 'off' needs to be in instant on mode though

    Is there a setting on my Xbox One S to not turn it off when I'm not on it so it can install a game disc?

    Well the thing is if you want to get your games to download while it's off turn your Xbox into instant on mode the game will download when it's off to let you know that's actually a quicker way to download it because all the other network features shut
    off except the download section

    Auto Restart on Downloads after forced stop due to network

    Go into Settings

    Turn Power mode to Instant-on,

    Uncheck the box when xbox is off, turn off storage.

    This should allow you to turn off your console and it will continue to download while you sleep. This is what I do with large game downloads.
