    Xbox Update Preview still on (Pending) after I changed my preview tier from Alpha to Omega


    Hi, I had big trouble with the latest update from the Alpha Skip-Ahead and decided I would go back to the Omega tier. I changed, saved and then instead of having a Manage button, it said (Pending) forever. I read that it could take up to 72 hours to take effect, so I waited. Then while waiting for my turn for the Halo Infinite Technical Preview, I suddenly got an update which lead to a factory default reset. Good! My console is finaly reverting back to Omega! Xbox Update Preview still on (Pending) after I changed my preview tier from Alpha to Omega :) Once everything was done and the console ready to use, I noticed everything was sluggish and nothing would load, I proceeded to a complete shut off of the console, and when I turned it back on, everything seems fine. I opened the Xbox Insider App and what the hell? It still says: Console in Alpha Skip Ahead, Select this to manage enrolment. The thing is when I select this, all I get is that darn (Pending). What happened? What should I do? This whole insider program turned into a real mess, what is going on? I've been part of it for the past 7 years and never had any real troubles with it. What is this sudden mess?

    I'm in the Preview Omega now, although I was in the Alpha before. I believe that was why I can't broadcast, since that preview group gives me frequent updates. Thanks.

    Updates with the Xbox insider program

    Hi Luna!

    I've definitely had a similar situation before come up, usually around 3am pacific time they will roll out Insiders Updates. One of the nice things about being an Insider is getting access to frequent updates and new features, but it can get annoying if
    you're receiving too many updates right when you need to be online. What I would suggest if perhaps lowering your Preview Ring tier. The tiers are as follows :

    • Alpha – Open on an “invite only” basis and receives updates at the earliest point in the preview window.
    • Beta – Open to Xbox Insiders with a Program tenure of 3 or more months and an Xbox Insider XP Level of 5 or higher. This ring receives updates shortly after Alpha.
    • Delta – Open to any Xbox Insider with a tenure of 1 or more months that has reached Xbox Insider Level 2 or higher. Depending on certain edge cases where further attention is required from Alpha or Beta rings, Delta Insiders may receive
      system updates before Beta, though this is not a common scenario. Additionally, while early system updates are not guaranteed across the Delta ring, all Delta Insiders will receive the update prior to GA.
    • Omega – Open to anyone and receives system updates shortly before the GA (General Availability) release.
    If you are currently on Alpha or Beta, maybe lower yourself down to Delta or Omega? Those rings receive far less frequent updates, but still get some nice goodies ahead of everyone else. On Alpha I receive updates sometimes daily, but Delta and Omega receive
    them more like weekly or monthly.

    You can make this change within the Xbox Insiders App on your Xbox, going to "Insider Content" then head to "Xbox One Update Preview" under "System" and select "Manage. If you'd like more information on this, check the link below. Cheers!

    New menu

    If you are part of the subset Alpha Skip Ahead preview that has the new Dashboard, use the Insider Hub and Manage option to change to a lower preview ring, eg Beta, Delta or Omega.

    Or opt out of any previews and unenroll the console from any previews and install the General Availability public OS.

    Be aware that changing previews or opting out will require a Factory refresh of the console. You will need the account details of any profile that uses the console.

    Xbox captures are completely broken?

    Are you in a Insider preview ring?

    If so, which ring. ASA, Alpha Beta or Omega?

    Endless update loop

    I have had 2 updates so far this week. I am in the alpha skip-ahead preview tier. It is unusual for me to not have at least one update a week.
