I have recently bought an xbox one. I also bought the game Doom for my xbox one. After it has installed itself, it wanted to install 58 gigabytes of updates over my network. How can I stop it updating, and just play the game, how it was on the disk?

To stop an update:
- Go to your My games and Apps section on your Xbox
- Navigate to the Queue section on the left and find the game being updated on the right (Doom in this case).
- Press the Menu button on your controller and select Cancel. This will stop the update process.
The Xbox One will then download a ported version of that game from Microsoft’s servers and make it available on your console alongside your other installed games. If you have a digital copy of the game, you can download it from Microsoft’s servers like you’d download any other digital Xbox One game. How do you pause game on xbox 360? My cousins have an xbox 360 and they have halo one and two for regular xbox and they play it on their xbox. But only a few and a lot you need a download. On Xbox One, can I pause a game download, turn off the console, and resume from where I left off in some other time? Update Cancel. A d b y W i k i b u y. The dead giveaway that tells you when Amazon has a lower price. Yes you can pause the download/install of a game and power down your Xbox One. You don’t have to pause it though because.

Note that I am unsure if you will be able to play the game offline. I'm not sure how physical disc copies of games work, but I believe that in order to play any digitally owned game, they must be kept up to date (I could be wrong).
You can't stop a game update for any title, you can pause an update and that's about it. I found it to be a pain myself, I started the update not knowing what size it was and thinking maybe a couple of gigs at most and then seen it was 58gig when my monthly allowance is 50gig lol. I paused it and had to take it to my sisters as she lives in the city and has unlimited allowance and update it there. So all you can do is pause it really but you wont be able to play the game until you do the update. Also I have found the loading times to be much longer since the update to the point were i'am not even arsed playing the game anymore. If I had the option to go back I would just uninstall the game instead of updating tbh. Nice work Bethesda!
Don’t try to cancel an update. If you cancel an update that has started, it will delete the whole game and its data. Found out the hard way today.
For doing exactly what you want, install the game from disc, but try installing it after you have toggled the option 'Go offline' in Network.

If I buy a game on the Xbox One from the store, will it be available to all users on that Xbox? Is it the same as if I purchased a disc, where it is available to any user?

The best answer I can find is this quote from the Microsoft Xbox One Support Site:
Q: Can multiple people share the same console?
A: An unlimited number of people can share the same console.
Note: Your friends and family will only be able to play your games if the sharing feature is enabled.

Download Game Offline
There is also this page regarding playing your Digital Purchases on OTHER Xbox One consoles.
Note: The link to 'About sharing games & Gold' is a dead link, but I believe it was meant to point to my previous link.
A digital download can be used by any/all users of the purchasers 'home' Xbox One console. It can also be downloaded and played on any other console but only as long as the purchaser is signed into that other console.
You need to set a family in the xbox.
In the Xbox settings you can find 'Family'. That's where you can set that all your users are in family.
