    Xbox one S offline update and formatting not working


    My xbox one S doesn't want to do the offline update downloaded on the USB flash drive. It seems that I have done everything according to the book but as soon as I plug in the USB it starts to update for about 5 seconds, stops and error e101 something went
    wrong all over again. I even tried formating my console to only find the same something went wrong error 101 all over again. What can I do?

    :)

    Xbox one S offline update and formatting not working

    Is the USB stick formatted to NTFS?

    The xbox doesn't like FAT USB sticks.

    Failing that, can you try s different stick?

    "To use the Offline System Update, you'll need:

    A USB flash drive with a minimum of 6 GB of space formatted as NTFS"

    If you have the following requirements, please follow the detailed instructions to perform OSU for Xbox One S through the link below:

    Are updates mandatory for Xbox One X?

    Hi,

    Yes the Xbox One X works the same as the Xbox One and Xbox One S, update wise for games and console updates.

    While it is advised to connect the console to the internet, you should be able to go offline as mentioned on the support page that Smwutches
    posted : https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/networking/using-xbox-one-offline

    This is the same for any Xbox One console, so regular, S and X
