Xbox One S set to instant on, but isn't getting any autoupdates

jowncat · Nov 4, 2016

My Xbox one S is constantly waiting for me to update games and system updates when I start it up, despite the console being set to instant on.

My previous Xbox One used to do all updates for me overnight etc so i was never bothered with them when the console is booted up

Xbox One S turning off overnight

Hi

Anyone got any ideas why my New Xbox One S is turning itself off overnight? Its set to instant on and not to ever power down

Xbox one frequently requires a hard reset

Hi philly fresh. Do you have your xbox one set to instant on mode ?

From my own experiences instant on mode isn't quite perfect, the xbox one never gets to shut down and clear the memory correctly. Switching to energy saving mode has been proven to stop this occurring again but of course also prevents users from using the
instant on features.

Not looking to be able to CONTROL the update - looking to PERMIT the update (autoupdate) whether my son is using the console or not

It sounds as if INSTANT ON will allow this to happen at a power cost

Its a current bug with the Xbox One S - Do a restart of the console and you'll get the speed back. It's an issue with the Instant On setting
