XBOX One Dust cover/Damage

No, the console turns off automatically when it gets very hot. Even if he did not have a cooler, he would be safe.

As you can put coverage to the console while it is off, this helps against dust.

I cover mine. Just keep it so it doesn't auto update.

Automatic updates

To set your console to automatically receive updates:

1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
2. Select System > Settings.
3. Select System > Updates & downloads.
4. Select Keep my console up to date for console and Keep my games & apps up to date for games and apps.

Just make sure you do not have these set to automatically update.

Also in the same section make sure you select "Energy Saving Mode".

1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
2. Select Settings > All settings.
3. Select Power mode & startup. Make sure Power mode is set to Energy-Saving

Thank you, Brandiesle1!

So just to confirm, I want to "UNCHECK" the boxes that say " Keep my console up to date," and "Keep my apps up to date." Than switch the power mode to Energy Savings? Thanks again!

I will still have the opportunity to update the games and console, I presume I would be notified of the updates when the system is on?

Thanks!

Yes. When you turn your console on, if there is an update available for the console there will be a little icon by the settings symbol.

However, for games you wont know until you try to play the game that there is an update available. What I do everytime I turn on my console is I go to "my games and apps" and go to my games. I check the updates tab to see of any games have available updates.
If they do I update even if I don't plan on playing them at that time.
