Alpha: “There was a problem with the update”

Your console wasn't bricked. Bricked means like a brick, dead, not usable, won't power on. You can't restore an Alpha console with USB, that is only for public builds.

Hello again,

My problem is with a system update with the Alpha Skip Ahead membership, not with a game update.

Im also part of the alpha preview and having the same problems. It has to be the update we received. Hopefully they fixed this soon.

Well if he's in the insider programn then he got a update today had the same issue the alpha & apha skip ahead builds are broken for 50% of the people that are ih that group so don't update your console if you're in alpha or alpha skip ahead

In the alpha skip ahead, still no update. "Alpha Skip Ahead" clearly means something else... :')
