Console not downloading updates while in rest mode
Rest mode auto-downloads are turned off in your settings. Go to your console settings and enable 'Downloads in Rest Mode' — this is a one-time fix that will let all your updates download automatically from now on.
Your console can download updates while in rest mode to save power and keep your games ready to play. This feature has to be turned on in your settings. If it's off, the console stops all downloads when it goes to rest mode, even if it's plugged in and online.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.
Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Turning off the console completely instead of putting it in rest mode — downloads only work in rest mode
- Thinking automatic downloads and rest mode downloads are the same — you have to turn both on
- Disconnecting the internet cable at night thinking it saves power — rest mode downloads need the connection
Signs you need professional help
- You've enabled both settings but downloads still don't happen in rest mode
- Your console keeps disconnecting from WiFi when it goes to rest mode
- You see error messages about downloads failing
