  1. Xbox One X and External Drive not showing updates for games/apps


    I have all of my games and apps on an external drive and when I got the Xbox One X I had plugged in my external drive from my original Xbox One in the Xbox One X. So for the first couple of weeks, I really wasn't thinking of it but then I began noticing
    that I would not get any updates for my games or apps. I have the settings set to where they don't download automatically and I had set my Xbox One X as my home console and I also have it as the external drive is where stuff gets downloaded there. In other
    words basically the same settings as I had for my original Xbox One. Then after I had noticed I wasn't seeing any updates, I had plugged in my external drive in my original Xbox One and that is when I seen I had 7 updates (5 for apps and 2 for games). I had
    asked about it and I never got a response as to why. All I was asked was what did I have it on, ie was the updates set to automatically update and is the X the home console, and after I said the X is the home console and the updates are not set to automatically
    update, I never got a response back. Now its a couple weeks since then and I am still not seeing any updates for my games/apps on my Xbox One X.

    I shouldn't have to go through every single game and app to see if there is any update especially having 110 games and 65 apps. That would be too time consuming to do that and I shouldn't have to switch between the original Xbox One and Xbox One X to get
    any updates for games and apps.

    So I was wondering if anyone has had this issue as well.

    :)

    Games and Apps are not visible until plugging in external drive.

    1. I'm on xbox one with the latest update. I have recently bought a new xbox one (halo edition) and had some games and apps on my external drive. I moved them all over to the xbox one from the external drive. Now, the games and apps are not visible unless
    I plug in the external drive. There are no games or apps installed on the external drive.

    2. Is there a method or order in which things have to be moved to fix this. I have 2 xbox one consoles and I will update games and apps on one and then copy them to the other console. This seems to not work after the NXOE update. I can copy to my external
    drive but it will not show up on the other console. This did work before the NXOE update.

    I have limited internet (slow connection after 1.5 GB of data use) so, I would like to continue to make updates to on console and be able to copy to the other.

    Is there a procedure to make the games and apps show up without plugging the external drive back in? Also, is there a procedure to be able to copy apps/games from one console to the next.

    Thanks in advance.

  3. Concerns about the reported problems about the Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition.

    The only issue(s) that I have with mine is that it doesn't show updates for my games/apps. The only way I know if I have an update is if I plug in my external hard drive back into my original Xbox One. I find that it is weird that it does that especially
    since I have the same settings on both the Scorpio and original Xbox One (meaning its not set to update automatically. The only difference is that I had changed my home console from Xbox One to Xbox One X).Even mentioned it to Support and got no answer from
    them about why that was. Was only told to manually go through every game/app to see if there is an update but when you got 110 games and 60 apps, I rather just plug my external hard drive in the original Xbox One for the updates.

    xbox series x seagate from xbox one not showing any games when plugged into the series x

    Hi,

    Do you still have your Xbox One and does your external hard drive still work on that console?

    I have successfully connected both my Seagate 'Game Drive' and my external SSD USB 3.0 drives to my Series S without any problems. All my installed games show up fine.

    The Series X/S supports the same external drives as the Xbox One/S/X support. If your drive isn't being detected it's probably become corrupted or has a hardware issue.

    Pre download Xbox Series X games

    Not really...

    Xbox Series X games / upgrades / updates has to be installed onto the Series X internal or expansion card SSD,

    You can have Xbox One games on your external hard drive that will get an Series X upgrade but the games will need to be transferred to the Series X and then the Series X upgrade will need to be downloaded onto the Series X SSD,

    As an example...

    I have Marvel Avengers on my external hard drive that will get the Series X upgrade and I will transfer the game over to the Series X SSD ready to download and update the game to the Series X version when available.
