    Xbox setup questions - active hours & storage


    Hello, I wanted to ask a few questions please. First of all, the option ‘when Xbox is off, storage turns off’ option - does that apply to the official Seagate expansion card for Xbox or is that not affected by this option and games and apps will update regardless?

    Finally, I have put my Xbox to sleep mode but set up active hours on the console so it should switch off to energy saving outside of those hours? The Xbox app constantly shows standby mode on but I think it is working because outside of those hours the Xbox logo shows and it takes longer than an instant start up? Does that mean the Xbox is shutting down outside of active hours?

    I just went to turn it on inside active hours and it booted up straight away.

    Thanks.

    :)

    Xbox setup questions - active hours & storage

    Hi OnlyAlex22, my name is Joel, I'm here to help you with any problems or questions you may have.

    OnlyAlex22, if you have the "Energy Saving" mode configured, the console does not turn off completely, although with fewer active functions than the "instant start" mode, so if you have automatic updates activated, they will be downloaded to the internal SSD and the expansion card without problems even when the console is turned off.

    On the other hand, if you configured active periods or hours, effectively during the hours outside of those configured the console will be turned off or with the minimum active functions according to the configured power mode.

    Please note that this is a public forum. I will respond as quickly as possible, and I apologize for any delays. I'm simply a user trying to provide information and knowledge that may be useful to others.

    Regards

    Xbox one x - my saved games have disappeared from “cloud saved games”. Any help appreciated

    Hello Peter

    Are you talking all save games, or just a few? As mentioned can try a power cycle. Also is your xbox live subscription active. If for some reason it ran out and unable to get, you will not have access to the cloud while it is not active. Here is a link going
    over
    cloud storage
    .

    To use cloud storage for your saved games, you need:

    • An Xbox Live Gold subscription
    • A console connected to the Xbox Live service
    • 514 megabytes (MB) of storage space on your console (local cache)

    Let us know how it going.

    Thanks

    Controller keeps disconnecting

    I tried that so I'll have to test it for the next hour or so. Question though, how does the persistent storage affect the controller?
