After the most recent update to the alpha ring my Xbox no longer recognizes my external...

My xbox one no longer recognizes my external hard drive after the update.

This could be the result of a recent update. If you're in the Insider Program in the Alpha Ring there was an update scheduled for today.

From the Recent Xbox alpha ring update I start lagging for 3 seconds and It happens again for 30 minutes

I am experiencing a similar issue. I just updated my Xbox One and now it no longer recognizes my external hard drive at all.

Hi SnoFox,

This has been a known issue for a while now and acknowledged by the Xbox Preview team and were testing a fix for this issue in the Alpha ring back in December. Since then, there has been no updates but based on this

article I'm assuming the issue was resolved in the Alpha ring preview update but doesn't seem to have gone live yet. There could have been some setbacks or the issue re-surfaced.

This was being tested in the Alpha ring, which is the first ring to test preview updates and requires an invitation to join, and has preview updates with the potential to have the most bugs so it's possible it's stalled in the Alpha ring.

My suggestion is to report the issue through the Xbox Insider Hub app, which you can do so by the report a problem option in the power menu after you have the app downloaded.

If you join the Insider program, eventually it should get pushed to the other preview rings and you can get the fix in an upcoming preview update before it would go live.
