Thanks for your feedback.

I too am having issues with the auto updates not fetching whilst the console is powered down. What router do you have as I have a feeling this is a network issue.

I have two routers, a D-Link and a Netgear. I've tried both and the Xbox One doesn't auto download with any and yet the PS4 does. I think the Xbox did download updates initially during the first month or so but hasn't for several months now.

In answer to the other question, yes i have the options set to auto download.

Im having the same issue, though I think mine is to do with the fact that as my Router is in my wife and I's bedroom and is turned off every night (Seriously, its the Virgin Media superhub and its like a rave at night..) perhaps theres some network system timeout on the console itself.

Ive started powering the xbox on after Ive turned the router on, then turning xbox off again to see if that helps and it seems to.

I as well am not having any issues but I'm noticing you mentioned that you don't have the "Resume Quickly" option checked and I do.  I know that the way it's supposed to work is when you shut your system down it's supposed to go into a Stand-By or Sleep mode so it's never truly off and the system is programmed to fetch system and game updates automatically when it's in this mode.  So it does require adequate power to run the system as well as a stable internet connection, obviously, to make this happen.

I would try turning that option on and see if it works any better for you.  Please let me know how it works out so I can put a note into the development team to look into this.

I too am having the same issues, it's incredibly annoying. I have power mode to 'instant on' and automatically download updates and Resume games quickly also on and nothing ever updates automatic. Just goes to show you that even when you have all of those options you guys mentioned 'on' that it still isn't working.

Anyone have any suggestions?
