Xbox One X Skip Alpha Update not applying

/u/Whosdaman · Jan 22, 2021

I have installed the new update three times, and each time my XOX restarts after finishing, it says it’s time to do a new update...the same one again. I’m not able to play online at all now.

Edit1: Okay so update on what happens, the update downloads to 3% then skips to verifying and verifies successfully then applies the update. After it restarts, it goes back to update screen and does the same exact thing.

Please need help, I’m stuck offline until I can resolve.

I believe you can re-enroll but I don't believe is guaranteed to be in Alpha still.

If I deregister the Xbox X out of the program, will it also deregister the Xbox One?

Originally the Xbox One was in Skip-A-Head Alpha. I purchased the Xbox One X, selected registration for Alpha Skip-A-Head, and it was automatically enrolled in the Alpha Skip-A-Head program.

I got the impression it is tied to the user who not the product. Hopefully someone in the program knows for sure.

I have this problem with Netflix for about 2 weeks on my xbox one x in Alpha skip ahead. Netflix on my xbox one in Alpha works fine at the moment.

Test aborted to tomorrow.

Alpha Skip Ahead Update is causing the X to whine a bit more than usual.

This is frustrating.
