Please help me remove my Xbox from insider/preview programme

Are you in the insider programme if you are remove your console from this then reboot it you can join the insider programme again this worked for me.

Did you create a bug report for the issue? This won’t resolve it right away, but it would help correct it in the next software update in a week or so.

As it’s something in the Xbox Insider preview, you would need to leave/opt out of it for the console to display normal text. Please see the official Xbox Insider Programme FAQ for the steps - specifically:

‘How to remove a single console from the Xbox Update Preview programme ‘ or if you want to leave the program completely, ‘I no longer wish to participate in the Xbox Update Preview or in another playtest or preview. How can I stop participating? ‘

Resetting your console may also help.

It should be back to normal once you’re on a public (non-Insider) OS version. If there’s still no difference, let me know and I’ll ask the team to see if there’s anything else you can do.

Hi,

If you’re still experiencing this issue, I’ll try to help here.

If you’re an Xbox Insider, then the offline system update won’t be an available option as Insider builds aren’t compatible with any OSU files. So if you’re currently in a preview, you should opt out and then restart your console before trying the offline update. This should take around 10 minutes.

As per ‘How to remove a single console from the Xbox Update Preview program’ in the Xbox Insider Programme FAQ

1. Launch the Xbox Insider Hub on your Xbox or a Windows device.
   
2. On the main landing page, select Settings.
   
3. Select Manage devices and choose the one you want to remove from the programme.
   
4. Select Done.
   

For anything else Insider related, ask in the official Insider support community for advice:

Hope this helps.

Hi try removing the console from the insider programme then rebooting the console you can rejoin the insider programme if it works or not.

Thank you, i will try to find a friend with an xbox one and sign in to my account, and try to remove it from the preview programme as you suggest.

Hopefully this will help, although I'm just wondering, how would my xbox that won't boot know that it is no longer in the preview programme?

I suspect it wouldn't know and therefore would stop with the same error due to the older firmware in the OSU1 file.

But at least worth a try, and when i do get this working again, i think i definitely want to be out of the preview programme after these problems.

Thanks again

Matt
