August 1st : New Preview Beta, Delta and Omega Ring 1908 Update (1908.190729-1945)

Hi there,

It looks like you are in the Preview Program, as I have also had the same updates. My best advice, would be to make sure that nothing else is running on your network. The error is likely due to a corrupted update, due to other traffic interfering. As some
others have pointed out, please join the
Xbox Insiders Reddit, so someone can better assist you.

I had a similar error the other day, where I turned on my Xbox, saw the new
badly designed dashboard, and THEN was randomly prompted for an update 10 minutes later, which failed. I powered down my Xbox, tried again a few minutes later, and it all went through properly.

Please note that, as of 1400 PST, a new update has rolled out for
Alpha (1908.190802-1945),
Beta, Delta and Omega rings (1908.190731-1920), according to
Brad Rossetti on Twitter (@workwombatman).

Maybe you will have better success with these more recent updates.

Hope this helps,

In my understanding the Dashboard experiment, A, B, C selection, is totally random.

As "Both consoles say their OS Version is (19h1_release_xbox_dev_1911.191028-1335)" your consoles are either in the Beta or Delta ring.

Both those rings and Omega ring are getting a preview update News release notes Beta Delta Omega
Insiders today, which you can manually start or wait until it becomes mandatory.

After you do the update, if you want to change rings, it will be the perfect time to change as all those rings will be on the same release. Subject to eligibility.

As an Insider I've just gone thru 3-4 updates in the last week, 1 30 minutes ago, and the dashboard has had some changes to location of Tabs (twists) for Gamepass, Mixer, Community and Store.

Also a bug was fixed that was quite annoying and it seems a lot more efficient and responsive.

It is being tested by Beta and now Delta rings, next will be Omega and then after that GA (General Availability) will get released I assume sometime in the near future.

So prepare yourselves. News for Beta, Delta Insiders Update provides further details.

Do you have a reference for this quote

"Thanks for updating us with your reply. The issue with updating turned out to be related to a

Preview Build for the console that was sent out to our Preview Program customers that day. What this means is that if your console is enrolled in the Preview Program, then traditional troubleshooting will not work for your console. " unquote

I downloaded that exact Preview build without any issues at all. However, I did wait until
the Core issue problem with XBLive was resolved before attempting the update.

I am still using that build and have not had any major issues.

G'day,

These are the latest Xbox OS and also the Beta, Delta and Omega rings of Insider Preview Program are also on the latest release
to General Availability builds.
