Automatically update Apex in xbox

If anyone knows how to do this I would very much appreciate instruction, as I have very slow internet and it usually takes hours to dl manually. I usually miss the first day of play in the new season while dl manually.

I have set the xbox to auto update, but to no avail. Am I missing something???

Thanks in advance.

@OldTreeCreeper If it was always auto update try toggling it. By chance yesterday when I gamed for first time in a while my buddy talked about a game not auto updating a while back despite him always having auto update and instant-on checked.

I told him about a buddy of ours who had same problem 2 weeks ago out of the blue so it might be that an Xbox update messed up the feature so that's why I said try toggling the feature and see if that helps. Having your Xbox on instant-on also helps.

@Koochi-Q I've done those a few times over the months and it doesn't seem to work, don't know why.
@hayhor I got a great deal on my xbox 1 s with 1tb memory and 2 controllers in Nov 2018, maby if santa is feeling kind he'll get me a ps5 😊 as that's the only way I'll be getting one of those 😋

@hayhor Lolz I know nothing. X for live! P stinks 😈 but then again I'm the guy who buys every console so yea...

@OldTreeCreeper, figured as much. Okay what you likely haven't done is full power shutdown to clear cashe.

Press the on button for 10 seconds when your console is on. It'll do a cycle of shutting down and starting back up again. Then toggle both the auto update and instant-on to their respective counterparts. Shutdown xbox again. When it comes back up, set them back to previous settings and hope for the best.

@OldTreeCreeper I've always found it to be temperamental on my XB1 xD

@Koochi-Q funny thing is that the xbox has no problems auto updating its own apps! 😋

@Koochi-Q sadly you are fired as my bestest xbox advisor 😂.
It didn't auto dl so I had to start it manually. It's a huge update and at 41 gig will take all day to dl here.

@OldTreeCreeper All day? 😱

Does it go faster if you are not playing? I left my ps4 to do the update while not playing. Was done in very little time.

@hayhor nothing in the house is connected to the Internet and I'm not playing. I'm averaging 1.5 mbps at the moment, Internet is chronic here at the best of times. In fact the best time is after 12 at night when most neighbours are gone to bed, can get up to 12 mbps then. 14.13 gig done so far.
