October 16th Xbox Insider Release Notes – Alpha Ring (1911.191013-1945)

Hi there,

Can I ask if your console is a part of the Xbox Insider Program? If so, there have been some reports that certain functions, like simply playing a game, can cause your Xbox to shut down/crash. Please see either of these pages for more info:

Preview Alpha Ring (Build: 19H1_RELEASE_XBOX_DEV_1911\18363.8030.190911-1945)

Preview Beta Ring (Build: 19H1_RELEASE_XBOX_DEV_1910\18363.7162.190913-1945)

Taken from the Known Issues/System section:

"System:

Some users have reported the console shutting down unexpectedly while using Netflix.

Some users have reported the console shutting down while playing games.

Note: The console may take longer to reboot/shut down than normal. This is expected behaviour, please do not power off the console manually. There is essential information being collected to investigate the cause of the issue."

Hope this helps,

This is fixed. See notes at ASA Alpha Insiders release notes and News.xbox

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.

Hi,

you can change rings in the xbox insider hub when yo manage the xbox update preview rings note that alpha and alpha skip ahead are invite only but you should be able to join the beta ring

G'day,

This is a known issue being tracked by the developers.
