Xbox One Alpha Skip Ahead - Is the Microsoft Store constantly pushing through an update...

Yes, pretty much everyone who is in Alpha Skip Ahead had to go through it. There was an issue with one of the updates and that was the only way to fix it. https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2018/07/08/new-preview-alpha-skip-ahead-1810-system-update-7-8-18/

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

Hi, Download the Xbox Insider hub app from the Microsoft store, Launch the app, On the main landing page, select Insider content. Under System, select Xbox One Update Preview. Select Join or Manage. Choose a Preview ring from the available selections.
Alpha/Alpha skip ahead may be greyed out, as those rings are invite only.

Well if he's in the insider programn then he got a update today had the same issue the alpha & apha skip ahead builds are broken for 50% of the people that are ih that group so don't update your console if you're in alpha or alpha skip ahead

Thanks for the reply.I am already in the insider program for 14 months so I don't know if that makes me part of Alpha skip ahead?Thanks
