What am i installing? Icons empty of some downloads. Alpha ring latest update

This has supposedly been fixed, along with a bunch of other stuff, in an update that's available for people in the preview program (alpha ring) now.

So, if you're in the alpha ring, check for updates and you should see it there ready to install.

If you're not in the alpha ring, or you're not in the preview program at all, I expect they'll roll out an update with a bunch of fixes in it to the public fairly soon.

The new update is only out for some Alpha & Alpha skip ahead insiders at the moment.

If you're in the Omega ring then you'll probably be the last ring to get the update before it's released to everyone.

Hi Valuable,

If possible would you be able to add me into the Alpha Ring for system updates?

On my old xbox one I was Alpha but I recently purchased an xbox one s and removed my old console from preview program.

When I re enrolled a few months later I am only in the Preview beta ring if you can see my history you will see i was always active in feedback, quests, and surveys.

Appreciate any help.

Kind Regards,

Dogga

Hi there,

just to be sure, are you participating in the Xbox Insider program?

If so, then be sure to check out
https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxinsiders/ since there was an issue in certain Rings where content didn't show in the Ready to Install section which should be fixed in the latest update (for specific Rings) as mentioned here:

Hello,

i am from Germany ....

Now i want to join Alpha Ring, but Microsoft Support tells me, the only way i can join Alpha Ring ist via Invite from another People in the Alpha Ring.

But i dont know anyone in Alpha Ring.

What can i do to join Alpha Ring in XBOX Insider Hub?

Greetings from Germany as well.

Previously, before there were rings, you had to be invited by someone already in the "Xbox Preview Program" as it was called back then.

This was then changed to the Xbox Insider Program, and anyone was able to join by installing the Xbox Insider App, and anyone is allowed to choose a ring up to Beta.

Alpha and Alpha Skip Ahead are only available by invitation from someone at Microsoft, and only if new free slots are available.

You will have to "earn" the privilege to be considered by providing regular and quality feedback, and hope that there are Alpha/Skip Ahead members that provided less feedback, and are removed from the Alpha/Skip Ahead rings.

So the only thing we can suggest is to be patient, and to continue participating in the available activities, and wait for the invitation.
