Automatially Download Game On Xbox One
How do I stop my xbox one installing all my games? Hey, I have just brought the xbox one and a couple of games with it but when I put a disk in it automatically begins installing the game to the console, I don't want that just yet so how can I stop it. On Xbox One, can I pause a game download, turn off the console, and resume. Unless you've disabled this in settings, the files will download automatically in. Can the Xbox One do this? Just bought Life is Strange using the Smartglass app, but I had to physically go to the console to get it to start installing. I have the power mode set to 'Instant-on' and 'Automatically download updates and purchases' checked. How to Get Download Games in the Background (While Xbox Is Off). Downloading the bytes and bits of an entire game over the internet takes a lot longer than downloading a WikiHow article. Naturally, your Xbox needs some time to get the.

- Automatic updates are not auto-downloading 3 answers
Xbox One’s August update will allow users to download apps and games remotely by purchasing them either on xbox.com or through SmartGlass, according to an image captured by a preview user.
My console is set to use the Instant-On power mode and I’ve checked the box allowing it to “download updates automatically” when in this mode.
However, when I launch games and apps, I still see the “Oh, shoot. We need to update first” screen quite often. I’ve also noticed that items in my download queue are not completed while in Instant-On mode.
Is this setting really just for system updates? Or does it apply to app/game updates as well? Is it available outside the United States or something silly?
Edit: My console does go to sleep so that is not the issue.

I've never ran into this issue with my Xbox One. I have noticed occasionally that an update will show as being finished when I first boot up my One. I have left mine in Instant On mode since I bought it.

'We're trying to figure out the best way to do that,' Microsoft's Major Nelson says at PAX East.
This weekend at PAX East in Boston, Microsoft teased that the Xbox One could someday introduce a new feature that allows for downloadable content to automatically download.
During the Q&A portion of a panel Saturday evening, a fan told Larry 'Major Nelson' Hryb that when he buys DLC passes for games, sometimes he doesn't know exactly when new content becomes available. He said this can be frustrating because it means he sometimes doesn't get to play new content right away.
This fan wondered if Microsoft might introduce a feature that allows for all season pass DLC to be downloaded automatically, thus overcoming that problem.
Hyrb said he's heard this request before, and it's something Microsoft is working on.
'I've got that feature request in,' Hyrb said. 'I don't know where that suggestion is [on Microsoft's priority list] but I completely agree with you. We're trying to figure out the best way to do that.'
In the meantime, Hyrb suggested that people make their opinions known by submitting feedback to the dedicated Xbox Feedback website.
One potential problem for rolling out an automatic DLC download feature worldwide, according to Hyrb, is that some countries outside the United States have metered bandwidth, which could cause issues.
'So you don't want to have somebody sign up for a season pass and then all of a sudden blow through all their monthly gigabytes because they downloaded an update or something,' Hyrb said.
