    Xbox Series X/S keeps asking if I want to download game on internal drive, while I set...


    Hi,

    Xbox Series X/S keeps asking if I want to download game on internal drive after each game. I know it's asking because I'm downloading X|S optimized games, but... why ask me this every time, if I deliberately chose to put it on an external drive when downloading game.

    This is very annoying. Yesterday I started downloading 40-50 games on external 2TB drive. I formatted drive and set to use it as default drive for downloads. So I stayed up all night clicking after each game that I really want to save it to the external drive.

    Is there any way to remove this message? p.s. Message was something like this - "Some components require internal storage, do you want to Continue or use internal..."

    p.s 2. It was also strange that the console just turned off after an hour (while I continued to work on the PC, on the same monitor). So I have to disable sleep mode. It's a bug...

    Thank you!

    :)

    What u can do now, when u try downloading many X/S series game on external u need to confirm one by one when it's start downloading.. So u need choose the game start download, and search again the game and do the same thing..

    I do this when I left my xbox downloading overnight on external..

    Because there's no option to disable notification now.. Hope it fix soon

    I'm afraid it won't ever be 'configurable'. The real reason why your games can't be downloaded to the external drive is because you can't actually run Series X|S games from an external drive.

    External hard drives are far too slow to run Series X|S games. They need to be run either from the internal drive - which is a fast NVME SSD - or the optional memory expansion cards for the Series X|S consoles. Not even SATA based external SSD's are considered fast enough for X|S games.

    You can move Series X|S games for archive purposes to copy back to these faster storage locations to play, but you can't run Series X|S games from external storage.

    Games that have not been optimised for Series X|S have no such limitations.

    Not sure why the 'Independent Advisor' doesn't know this well known fact.

    Hello, SergeyKirilenko2. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    There is no way to disable this message. Unfortunately most Xbox Series X/S optimized games need to be installed on the internal storage or on a SSD expansion card. So the message will always appear.

    I'm sorry about this and I hope you understand.

    This is totally dependent on the Xbox team. I do not work for Xbox, I'm just a user helping other users.

    The only option for us, players, is to submit a feedback to the Xbox team using the Feedback Hub app. They will receive our feedback and see if it is relevant or not. If they receive the same feedback from multiple players, probably they will do something about it.

    I hope you understand. If you have any question, feel free to ask, my friend.
