Are you on the Xbox Insider previews? If so, they are changing it for something else. Can't recall offhand but it's in the release notes from a couple weeks back.

Hi

This was something that happened to console in the Alpha Skip ahead tier of the Xbox Insider and was required to fix an operating system fault.

Yes, pretty much everyone who is in Alpha Skip Ahead had to go through it. There was an issue with one of the updates and that was the only way to fix it. https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2018/07/08/new-preview-alpha-skip-ahead-1810-system-update-7-8-18/
