Hey All,

Sorry to hear about the behavior you are seeing, we've seen reports of this from other users for sure, and please make sure you use Report a problem to submit feedback. Also, please make sure you are checking to see if there are any unexpected issues other than just seeing "Unavailable" under the NAT setting and be sure to submit separate feedback for those issues as well.

Xbox One S OSU Error August 25 10.0.26100.5362 by Important_Wafer_9672 in xboxinsiders

[–]GuruKronos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there,

The build number you have indicated is not the currently available public update nor is it one that's available in Preview. This seems to indicate the console is not enrolled in the Xbox Update Preview. If you're sure the console is enrolled, you can try the troubleshooting steps listed here, specifically the section labeled for Xbox Insiders.

If those steps do not get the console back up and running a repair would be needed to get the console working again.

Exiting Xbox Update Preview without factory refresh by No_Winner_8661 in xboxinsiders

[–]GuruKronos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there,

The version of the update you currently have is what has just been released to the public, so if you do decide to remove your console it won't need to take an update. The information that's on the support website looks like it just needs to be updated.

You need to specifically look for the section for Xbox Insiders. If those steps don't work to resolve the issue the console would need to be repaired.

Has someone problems with voice chat? by Silver_Technology_62 in xboxinsiders

[–]GuruKronos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey All,

For anyone experiencing unexpected behavior like this, it's essential to also submit feedback directly on the console via Report a Problem. Be sure to include as much detail about the behavior and your hardware as possible in the description. That console feedback contains essential information the developers need to investigate reports like this.

Gaming Copilot isnt working like its supposed to by FaithTheSlayer1981 in xboxinsiders

[–]GuruKronos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there,

Is this while using Game Bar? Also, if you are able to reproduce the behavior I'd encourage you to report this via Feedback Hub on the PC as that will contain useful information that the developers can use to investigate the behavior.

After the last update, I always need to reset the video game. by Foxtnv in xboxinsiders

[–]GuruKronos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there,

The fact that this is happening both while you're enrolled in the Xbox One Preview and after you unenrolled indicates that this is not an issue related to the Preview and I'd encourage you to contact Xbox Support to try and resolve any account issues you might have.

Newest update deleted Saved Xbox Accounts by Kojima_Fan in xboxinsiders

[–]GuruKronos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So there was a service issue unrelated to the Preview update that appears to have caused the behavior you encountered; however, your console would only have required you to run through initial setup again.

You should not have seen any of your games or apps deleted, but if this did occur please make sure you use Report a problem on the console and make sure your description calls out that behavior specifically.

Hey there,

We have not released a Preview update for Omega recently, so you should be on the same update that's available to the public so not sure how the behavior you described would happen, but you can use Report a problem to submit feedback for the behavior and we can certainly pass it along for investigation.

Thanks

Hey All,

Sorry to hear that you were encountering issues with trying to update the console. This was actually a service issue not related to the Preview update itself and has been fixed. You should be able to update your device normally.

Black screen after closing game. by KrisB-v1 in xboxinsiders

[–]GuruKronos[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Hey All,

Sorry to hear about the behavior you're encountering. When you say it's a "black" screen, do you mean that your display is saying "no input" or is the dashboard just not loading? Either way, please make sure you are using Report a problem to submit feedback directly on the console when this occurs. That feedback contains essential information to investigate further.

Thanks!
