XBOX brick - Insider Program - How to proceed?

Erm..........................am I missing something here?

Your saying that the latest version of the Xbox OS has bricked your external HDD?

HOW?

How could that possibly happen?

Nothing about the system OS goes onto the external HDD, so why would it brick it?

Also I've been in the Insider program for a couple of years (think I'm an Alpha Insider) and nothing on my system has been bricked and like I said I'm an Alpha Insider so I get really dodgy OS's.

i have seen many people in the Insider Program has had their Xbox bricking on them. I’ve had minor issues where I have had to just restart my console but just now my console has fully bricked. This has happened on multiple consoles of mine and I just purchased
a Xbox one x around 6 months ago. I have reset my console to factory settings and I am highly disappointed. Has anyone else’s having these problems this far into 2018?

I never had an issue being in the alpha ring of the insider program for years with my Xbox One. Since I got my Xbox One X in Feb...I have had to do 3 or 4 factory resets. One of them needing to be a complete reset (deleting all of my games and apps). Thankfully
all of my games are on an external hard drive so they didn't need to be reinstalled like the apps on my internal did.

So in my opinion...upgrading to an X makes the insider program a much more risky venture than just having a standard Xbox One.

Any problems you are having with the insider program should be directed to the the insider support group so they are aware of what is going on and those issues can be addressed.

Sorry this has happened to you I’m on alpha skip ahead and I’ve been fine. If resetting you console to factory setting has solved your problem this is not a full brick of the console. A full brick would require sending it to Microsoft for service which
they would do as it’s the insider program that bricked it.

You are warned when you sign up to the insider program that there will be bugs and things that maybe broken! The higher up the rings you go the more bugs you should expect and performing full factory resets is not out of the question. Microsoft recently
pushed an update that required a full reset before installing on the skip ahead ring!

If you want the most stable build don’t use the insider program just stay on publicly realeased builds! No one is forcing you to be an insider!

Are you in insiders program ? If you are stop you will brick your console

First skip any update

Then remove the console fr insiders via a pc or the hub on the console

Then update using the regular update
