Xbox preview program updates need a warning or alert.

tdstranger101 · Jul 16, 2021

Can you Please add an alert or warning when updates are about to release. I'm tired of being kicked off my game while in the middle of something or streaming. It's infuriating to get kicked randomly with 0 warning. Or give us a postpone update ability we are in the preview program we're not the main line if its an emergency update prompts would be nice. Thank you sincerely

Sorry to hear it. Announcements are made in the Insiders Reddit page as to when updates are incoming. However, if they are interrupting your gameplay then I would recommend setting your console to Instant On with the option to keep your installed games and apps updated. This will allow your console to update when you're not using it saving on game interruptions

They already do this.

Keep your eye on this page here.

They post when the update is mandatory like this

Hi ScoobaW,

If you've been accepted into the preview program, and your console is ready for a preview update, you'll likely get it when the next preview update is rolled out. Preview Program members do not get a warning on when they'll get new updates, and we
just get them as they arrive. If you have other questions about the Preview Program Registration I suggest using this link to post in the Preview Program Support forum.

Didn't you read the warning before joining the preview program? Everyone that's mad about being in the preview program has no one to blame but themselves.

This has happened to me the last couple of preview updates. I AM NOT in the preview program though these issues occur as if I am. Every preview update I notice an influx of reports of these issues. No one can ever give answers but I imagine it involves An
OS error. I like many others would love for someone to try an alert xbox of this. Very annoying but seems it could be easily fixable.
