Help with omega to beta. IF I go ahead with the update will it factory reset my console

It's the X, I've reset the console to factory and got the kinect working now. I'm on preview program and choose omega level, hoping it was the beta setting that kept messing up the kinect

Seems a long time to wait. From Beta to Omega, and then GA, just to get a OSU1 file thats older than Beta preview the console is on. A Factory reset is quicker than waiting for a file that may not solve a potential hardware issue.

"on my sons console that is not in the beta but has just updated to the may dashboard,".

As far as I'm aware the new dashboard is only available to Alpha and Alpha Skip Ahead previews.

Edit (22-5-2023) A subset of BETA Insider previews have the new Dashboard

"so just like the previous times, once the osu file is higher than what the console is asking for it will update with no issues."

I would investigate your network access if you need to use a OFFLINE System update file (OSU1) all the time. A stable network is required for all the preview updates that Alpha and Skip Ahead receive each week.

Depending on preview, a Insider console is updated several times over the course of preview.

ASA preview is especially demanding of updates, and if one or two are missed, well, lets just say its not convenient.

Hi, try doing a factory reset keeping all games and apps settings>system>console info>reset console.

As for testing, it went through Alpha, Beta, Delta, Omega Insider Preview test rings. This has been tested for months now. Bugs were found and ironed out but as you should know, even with the best testing, some issues will slip the net. There were a few
updates that didn't go through for some but there are methods (factory reset) to get a fresh update. Once the OS goes public you can also do a repair by using offline software updates via a USB.

Hey there Banter,

Sorry to hear about the issue. Have you tried a
Factory Restore yet? Go ahead and try that by selecting 'Reset and keep my games & apps' and let us know if it helps.

I suggest that you reset your console to factory settings, and let us know how that goes.

Before you go ahead and reset your console back to factory default, please read:
