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 have my Xbox One set up to automatically download and install updates, the rest of my settings are shown below:    Is there a reason my games will show an update symbol on their tile, but they still don't download the update until I start the game manually?

I want help to  make Ubuntu 'update &amp;&amp; upgrade' itself automatically, select the settings for this automatic system.  How can I do it? Please advice about  where to find the menu (GUI) or file (command line) to do it, what settings that can be recommended (if different from the default).  As a bonus, please describe how different types of program packages are treated,  program packages from Ubuntu repositories and PPAs snap packages flatpak packages other kinds of programs/packages.

When calling support the other day he told me to reset my DSL modem by pulling out the power, leave it out for 10 seconds, and then plug it back in. This is something I have heard many times with different kinds of equipment. I have also heard it in relation to computers. That when you turn it off, you should wait at least 10 seconds before you turn it on again.    Why not just plug it in again right away? Why 10 seconds, instead of, say... 3 or 30? Should you really, always do this; just with certain types of equipment; just in certain circumstances; or is it just a "myth" thing that people have said so often that they believe it to be fact?

When I want to shutdown my PC I click the top right corner and then press the power button after which a dialog pops up with the options: power off, restart, cancel.   Normally this pop up shows up right away. But since a week or so it takes about 30 seconds. During that time I can move my mouse but I can't open applications or do anything else.  When I cancel and try it again, it does open right away.   I didn't change settings or install weird stuff, only some updates of my icon theme. (I apparently had installed the ).  What could be the cause? And how can I diagnose this issue and see what it taking so long?

I usually play GTA V at home with my Ethernet cable connected and my 16 GB USB stick to save progress. So far, I've gained 20% completion.   But I'm at a friends house with the same Xbox, and we can't connect it to internet. When we tried to play, we had to start the game over with Mission 1 "Prologue" and for some reason we cant save progress on the USB stick. I think this is because the game requires internet in order to save.  Unfortunately this means each time we start up the Xbox we have to start over.   Is there any workaround or solution to this?

Since starting working where I am working now, I've been in an endless struggle with my boss and coworkers in regard to updating systems.  I of course totally agree that any update (be it firmware, O.S. or application) should not be applied carelessly as soon as it comes out, but I also firmly believe that there should be at least some reason if the vendor released it; and the most common reason is usually fixing some bug... which maybe you're not experiencing now, but you could be experiencing soon if you don't keep up with .  This is especially true for security fixes; as an examle, had anyone simply applied a patch that had already been available for months, the infamous SQL Slammer worm would have been harmless.  I'm all for testing and evaluating updates before deployng them; but I strongly disagree with the "if it's not broken then don't touch it" approach to systems management, and it genuinely hurts me when I find production Windows 2003 SP1 or ESX 3.5 Update 2 systems, and the only answer I can get is "it's working, we don't want to break it".  What do you think about this? What is your policy? And what is your company policy, if it doesn't match your own?  What about firmware updates (BIOS, storage, etc.)? What about main O.S. updates (service packs)? What about minor O.S. updates? What about application updates?  My main interest is of course in updating servers, as client patch management is usually more straightforward and there are well known tools and best practices to handle it.

I often install packages and updates for them, although sometimes it is not convenient to do a reboot if one of the packages needs it, so is there any way of telling BEFORE installing the package/update whether or not it will require you to do a reboot? I have already looked  and the solutions there don't solve my problem, nor the more or less same one described there.

When I press the power button a dialog opens, but I want to shutdown the system without receiving "Do you really really want to shutdown?". How can I choose a direct shutdown action on a pressed power button?   I had the same problem with the 11.04 version, but I don't remember the solution and yesterday I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10.

The whole update process seems somewhat confusing to me.  I can understand the need to run sudo apt-get update prior to installing another package, but, what is the difference in running update from the command-line and using the Synaptic package manager for updates and/or the the Auto-updater.  If there is no difference, why do we have all three?

Why doesn't Ubuntu require restarts on more updates? I know that for kernel updates and things like video drivers, it can't load the changes without a restart. But I'm curious about more basic updates of pretty fundamental packages that often don't require restarts. Things like Telepathy, glibc, gtk, etc. Why don't packages like this require a restart to be updated? Is the new version actually running right after an update?  Another example would be Gwibber. I recently received and update to gwibber via the Update Manager while gwibber was running. The update completed successfully. Would gwibber be running the new version without manually restarting it? And is that the same for other packages? (I know some like mysql and apache automatically restart on an update). For packages that don't automatically restart, can't that be somewhat of a security issue for security fix?  This comes up because I have been running OS X for about a week and almost every update requires a restart even if it isn't kernel/video driver related (as far as I can tell - they don't give you a lot of information). A friend of mine said that Apple forces restarts on most updates "just in case" it would be weird if you didn't restart. Windows is the worst because almost any install/uninstall or update requires a restart (often forcing shutdowns to take a very long time). This may be a bit broad for this venue, but why do the different operating systems handle this so differently? Or, more specific to Ubuntu: why doesn't Ubuntu follow a more strict restart policy?

I'm downloading the update right now and I would like to know if any of my files or app gets deleted after this update... I'm sure many people here already installed the update so what can you say?

I think this issue has been going on for over a month now.  I boot my PC and the Adobe Updater tells me to download a new version of Flash. It sends me to  with the following information visible:     Version 11.9.900.152      Your system:      Windows, English   The Update Now button simply links to      I've cleared my cache, that didn't help. The Are you an IT manager or OEM links me to a page where I can either Apply to distribute Flash Player or Download Adobe Flash Player, the latter just sends me back to where I came from. I've uninstalled and rebooted, went to the Adobe website and clicked Adobe Flash Player under the Download menu. The Install now button again links me to  Need Flash Player for a different computer? sends me to  and the Download now button is greyed out and unclickable.   How can I update?

With Rare Replay, it includes the 360 versions of some games to "show off" the Backwards compatibility in action. I can get 360 style notifications and achievements, but pressing the xbox button brings me to the XB1's home instead.  How do I get the 360 guide to show up? It was advertised as being able to do so.

I would like Low Power Mode to be the default state of my device.  When I get to 80% battery it toggles itself off automatically.  How can I stop it turning itself off?  How can I always keep my phone in low power mode (or some other equivalent)?

I love the  we have now, since my F5 key was starting to wear out.  There's one scenario though that still makes me refresh manually. I'll illustrate for questions:  While looking at , suddenly banner reading     1 question with new activity   appears. I click it, and the most recently active questions, Question B, appears on top of the other questions:  Question B Question A ...   I open a question that looks interesting. After reading it, I navigate back, and Question B disappeared from the list.  That would be alright if they came back with the next real time update. Sure enough, the banner reading     1 question with new activity   pops up after a few seconds. To my surprise, now I have  Question C Question A ...   and Question B went to limbo until I refresh the page.  Real time updates to answers, comments and edits behave similarly.

We've upgraded some machines to Windows 10 and realized there were some updates which updated as required. However, I realized there was no option available to stop the download similar to that on Windows 7 and 8.1. The only way I could stop the download was to stop the Windows Update service.  My question is does anyone know of a way to stop auto updates or is stopping the service is the only solution?
