Xbox one S won't auto update/download games when off

Hello there!

Regarding your case, I will need you to try following the steps proposed on the link below in order to reset your console and refresh the system:

How to reset your Xbox console to factory defaults | Xbox Support

when turning the xbox off, if the light is blinking but the screen is off then it is auto downloading an update.

the crackling could be interference between controller and xbox.

Games crashing - not sure.

Hi,

What game or games does this message pop for? Many Xbox One games have updates specifically for the Xbox X. If your Xbox One game has a 4K assets update for example, you'll be prompted to download this when using the drive on the Xbox One X console.

The Xbox One S and original Xbox One don't support X-enhancements, so you won't be prompted for that update when using the drive on the One S.

Please look at the
following link, it explains how to update games for Xbox One X enhancements, while still using a Xbox One S or original Xbox One.

yea keep the auto update on and never fully power down ur xbox things will download in the background, the games and updates download faster when the game is off. Sucks to have to shift your expectations but hopefully they will rid that with the next systems.

I don't think the other people who replied understand what you are asking because I'm having the same problem. My brand new Xbox One S is going to sleep/turning off DURING the straight out the box initial set up update. Not AFTER it's fully downloaded the
update and it auto restarts. And when I turn the Xbox one back on, the initial set up update starts over. You can't get to the settings yet to set it to download even when the console is off/sleep because it can't get past the initial set up update. Nobody
has time to sit in front of the TV for hours, wiggling the controller sticks every 5 mins to keep the controller/Console from going to sleep partially through the Initial setup update and having to start over. It's been 3 days and I haven't been able to play
one single game yet on my new Xbox One S. Is there any way to prevent this?
