I updated fine with my external drive plugged in. I think they tell people to do that as a troubleshooting step, in case the update fails.

What about fixing the servers we've been having issues lately? No talk of that?

This isn't really the thread for discussing server issues. If you feel what you have to say is thread-worthy, please feel free to open one for discussion.
I would have downloaded the latest update earlier since I'm in the preview, but I've never disconnected my external HDD for any updates and I've never had issues with it.Did u do the same with the update that came out yesterday? I always like double checking before updating
No, I understand. I'm just saying I didn't notice I had gotten a new update.

When I had my old XBOX ONE(Before I upgraded to the one that I have now) I always updated with the external drive plugged in, never had a problem) but that was with the old console, dont want to take any chances with the new one since it is new(I have the 1TB ONE and my 4TB external drive) since XBOX LIVE still has problems no point in doing the update tonight just on the fence about updating with the external drive connected or not..dont know why microsoft suggests updating without it plugged in
Previously if you had a zero-gamerscore game on XB1 it would go away if you played 5+ or more other games. Wasn't perfect but you could always "demote" those games and pretty much hide them from your list completely.
