Normally it only switches on when there is an update. Normally about 2am time for me. Now it seems to be every 10 - 30mins it lights up, blinks at me, then switches of. Its not a problem, just quite annoying.

Yep, this is what mine has done from day 1. I just assume it's always checking for something.
Mine is annoying as my gaming set up is in my bedroom and I can hear it spool up when I'm trying to get to sleep.

When your console gets updated, the current version is xb_rel_1507 I think that or higher is what you need for the emulator to work.

It says 1507 but I've put mass effect disc in and nothing happens.

Not 100% sure how it works from disc but I believe you still need to install (download) the game to your HDD on the Xbox One.

Now I'm only guessing, but after inserting the disc goto My games & apps/Games, scroll to the far right, you might need to install from there? Is there a Mass Effect icon in that install list?

When I put a valid disc in (Viva Piņata: TIP) it automatically prompted me to download the game.

No icon there. It still says insert disc. Doesn't say anything downloading either.

I still can't get mass effect to work. When i click on registraion it says pending so not sure if this changes at some point or not. Others don't seem to have had a problem so why doesn't mine work?

You will probably have to wait for the 1508 update until you complete joining the programme also some discs don't work yet unless they are the same disc (region free) as the North American release.

Any idea when next update will come?

Not yet but I would guess it's probably due in the next week of so.

Should the console auto-update these previews while on stand-by?

I don't play on my X1 often, sometimes it can be a week between turning it on. But almost 50% of the time when I do turn it on I'm greeted with a 250MB update to apply.

The console should download the updated in the background when in instant on mode however if you look at the release notes on the official Xbox forums it will say if the update has not been installed by X date the console will download it next time it's switched on.

So it will download the update but not install it? OK I get that as some people may want to avoid installing an update if there is a known issue. But seems a little odd to make you download it again if you haven't installed it after a while and it's sitting in the consoles memory.

If the console is set to instant on and also set to automatically download patches and updates then it should download and apply any updates available when the console checks th MS network.
