Question about forcing insider updates?

Are you part of the insider preview? If you are I would suggest taking a few moments when you open up the Xbox to check if there is an update waiting. Keep upto date feature doesn't always work for insider preview. Updates will be forced as all insider
consoles, within each ring need to be on the same OS. Typically forced between 6-8 hours after release.

If you are in the preview program, it is your responsibility to check for updates. I check every day as soon as I turn my Xbox on, that way I get no nasty forced updates. You can follow the insider blog here: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/insider/
which will inform you of pending updates. You can also follow the reddit for insiders too here: https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxinsiders/ which also publishes the links to the
blog about updates.

I have insider enabled, true as it has not had any issues until now. Is this now the new normal for insiders to get updates forced on while in game? if that is the case, I will roll back out of the insider program.

"I’m on the Xbox Insider program, so this issue is compounded even more by the frequency of the updates."

I'm in ASA Insider preview and do about 3-4 updates a week sometimes.

I also have power save mode but I'm in the habit of checking System>Settings>System>Updates and downloads or the Reddit XBox Insiders Forum for new releases everytime
I turn my console on.

This stops forcing the update when they become mandatory and your in the middle of playing a game.

There is a feature that if the console is set to instant on and keep updated, then it should negate forced updates. It is also advisable to check when turning on the console for updates.
