Xbox Alpha Skip ahead - console power issue

/u/TheAshCohen09 · May 22, 2020

Has anyone noticed when they are playing a game or closing back to the dashboard, that their console light will blink twice a couple of times and then switch off? It seems to be sporadic, either doing it mid-game, or when I've closed back to the dashboard.

Console is less than 10 months old so I'm hoping it's not an issue with that. It doesn't kick up any messages upon a restart to say that it is overheating.

Hi

Consoles that are in the Alpha Skip Ahead tier of the Xbox Insider programs had to be factory reset to resolve an issue with the operating system on the console as per the notes below.

In the alpha skip ahead, still no update. "Alpha Skip Ahead" clearly means something else... :')

Hi, Wuhey

Unfortunately all the Alpha Skip Ahead spots have been filled. I am sure if you carry on reporting, that when they get spaces, you'll get another invite.y
