    Xbox randomly stopping downloads


    I have an Xbox series x and an Xbox series s I'm having an issue where anytime I try to download something it just says installation stopped before it could even tell me how fast it's downloading it it only takes around a minute for it to just stop the update again before it even actually starts updating it I've been stuck at 3.29 gigabytes installed for the last hour I run network tests there's nothing wrong with my network it's not happening on any of my non-xbox devices I've restarted both my Xboxes multiple times I've restarted my modem multiple times I've power cycled my Xbox and it still happening I've cleared local saved game data and its still happening I think the updates started with my Xbox was off and I have my Xbox set to the sleep mode not shut down mode, I can't find any information about this being an issue on xbox's side and I can't call my ISP telling them my Xbox is acting up is there any known way to fix this I'm going to try using my mobile hotspot on my phone to see whether or not the update will actually happen but I have limited data on my mobile hotspot and I don't want to waste it all just to see whether or not it's an Xbox issue

    :)

    Xbox randomly stopping downloads

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues with your installation stopped.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    Please install in offline mode. Take your console offline before installation. Go to Settings > Network Settings > Go offline, then restart your console and try installing again.

    And then clear alternate MAC address by going to Settings > Network Settings > Advanced Settings > Alternate MAC Address > Clear, then restart your console.

    Next is set a manual DNS, please go to settings> network> network settings> Advanced settings>DNS Settings> Manual.

    PRIMARY DNS: 8.8.8.8

    SECONDARY DNS: 8.8.4.4

    Kindly restart your Xbox and also your router after performing these steps.

    Then check network ports. Other gamers found that their ISP was blocking necessary Xbox Live ports. Kindly ring your Internet Service Provider and them to open these ports:

    Port 88 (UDP)

    Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)

    Port 53 (UDP and TCP)

    Port 80 (TCP)

    Port 500 (UDP)

    Port 3544 (UDP)

    Port 4500 (UDP).

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Download Problems

    I just tried downloading it again. Not surprisingly, it didn't work, I think it stopped at 42% and canceled the download randomly. Then I retried downloading it and it restarted, got to 15% then stopped.

    Can't download anything

    I also have the same problem. Downloads constantly stop. I can't update anything, I can't download any Games for Gold. Therefore, Xbox looses potential digital purchases from me, since I am worried they will not download. They'll say, "check connection",
    whatever crap, though, I know of other people with the same issues. Downloads just randomly stop, and refuse to continue.
