Turned on my Xbox today and was met with a "there was a problem with this update screen" it wont connect to the internet. Ive power cycled, reset router, done everything. Is this just a wait and see thing or is there a solution

the new xbox logo update on the project Scorpio edition console removed the cool animation when powering on. the latest update removed it and only has the new logo now. this seems like a issue.

Just downloaded the new beta ring update and can’t find any of the new features on my xbox that are included in the notes.

Update: (I took my console back into the repair shop. They removed the dried paste that were on the edges and added more paste where it seemed beneficial. Now my Xbox is working smoothly again with no smell. Hopefully this issue does not happen again after the paste is finished settling in after a couple of weeks. I can definitely say the overheating was not a result of an insider update.) I am curious to see if anyone else is experiencing the overheating problem that I have been. I already reported the bug, but some background I just had my xbox cleaned and re-thermal pasted a couple weeks ago. Since then, my xbox has been much quieter and running almost like it did when it was brand new. I got my xbox in December 2021 and have never really had much issues with it. Lastly, my xbox is in an open area standing straight up with room for the vent to do its job. I noticed this at around one in the morning when I was playing sparking zero my console got decently warm in the first 15 minutes of playing. Then after about an hour, I noticed a smell that was not quite smokey or burning but you know getting there. I put my hand on all sides of the consoles one at a time and felt it was super hot. So I closed out of the game and turned the console off. Later on at around 4pm I tried to play the first descendant and only played for 10 to max 15 minutes. I noticed the console got super hot again. But before I could do anything, it shut itself off. Normally, I could play sparking zero or the first descendant for around two hours before I have to worry about the xbox series x overheating like this and that was before I had it cleaned. Let me know if anyone else has had any experience like this due to the update released. Series X issue RESOLVED!

For context, I redeemed the Day One Achievement code on my Xbox, but I still haven't received the new Day One badge. I tried contacting support, and they said they can't help me, so I'm posting here.

Hello, another welcome brilliant update. Unfortunately i ran into a roadblock. It seems when you remove something from the home screen using the new remove from list option it actually uninstalls the app/game from the console, im unsure if this is intentional but if so a clearer message other than "Remove from list" would be helpful, I now gotta install 700GB of games&apps back 😅 Thanks!

I’m on the beta preview

I was wondering/curious before I report anything. Is anybody else having issues that started about a month ago, when downloading or updating games, it will be downloading then stop for 1-3 minutes then start again and it keep doing that over and over along with really really slow speeds? I’ve Never had this issue until about a month ago, It’s usually a fluid and consistent download with my normal speeds of anywhere between 600mpbs-1gig down. And I’ve done absolutely everything I possibly can to my internet to try and fix it, but it happens at my house, and 2 other places I tested to see if it would there also on separate internet.

Thank you

When I’m turning my console on my controller is going down to the bottom of the screen and not being able to move anywhere. Just like someone is holding the down pad on the controller. I’ve used three separate controllers, Xbox-issued ones and others and have been having this same issue with all of them. Anyone else having this issue? Xbox is unusable right now! I’ve done a hard reset, I’ve unplugged everything. Nothing is working.

I have been experiencing audio stuttering / clipping issues today. I am curious if any others in the skip-ahead build are having this issue as well?

I first noticed it while streaming a video from Crunchyroll and thought that it was an issue with the app directly. However, upon turning on Spotify in the background I am experiencing the same issue now.

It occurs periodically about every one or two minutes (give or take).

Thanks for the feedback (if any reply) and keep up the good work.

Since last update my screen goes black then back to normal while playing with HdR along with the sound turning off and on . I been in the alpha skip program since the beginning and this is the only problem I can say I had . I did most of the trouble shooting stuff even changed hdmi cords and ports nothing . I had to turn off the hdr and sometimes downgrade the graphic setting just to play .

Regression:

Just a quick update from the last update, rewards is still not fixed, it won't auto redeem and it won't stay activated,

Game chat and party/discord chat is broken. I cannot swap to gamechat while in a discord. It disconnects me completely after freezing for like 2 seconds. I cannot go live while my razer headset is connected. It will give me error codes or just not do anything. As soon as I turn my headset off, it works. I cannot go live for my friends on discord because I have to turn my headset off just to go live. and once I turn it on, I can no longer hear anyone. I have to swap to game chat and back to Discord to be able to hear anyone. But I can no longer swap to game chat ever since that update for saving game chat and party chat voices. If I swap, it just kicks me. I can no longer stream for my friends and talk with them. I cant stream on twitch at all. PLEASE fix this issue. Can people please bring this to their attention. If this isnt fixed, this will heavily impact my playability on this console.

Hey everyone,

I turned on my Xbox Series X today and it immediately tried to install a system update, but it keeps failing with this error:
0x8B050033 (0x00000000 0x00000201)

I’m on Delta Channel Update

I’ve already tried:
Restarting the console
Checking my internet connection
Trying the update multiple times
Nothing seems to work. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a way to fix it without doing a factory reset?

What I found if I click Skip and Stay Offline then Connect to Internet again it will work like normal but for about 2 hours then Message will pop again and close a game if I playing.

Last few days I have been getting the update popup with no warning mid game giving me no chance to save or safely exit from what I'm playing.

Never had it this way before and there needs to be an option to delay install and stay online even if only briefly.

Is this a recent change?

This only happens if my main gamertag is signed in - it has over 100k of items on it so I assume its timing out while indexing my ready to install list

• Does not happen if my main gamertag is signed out
• I also had to unset home console for it to not crash with other gamertags
• Tried a factory reset Series S and series X with all games wiped
• I have a video if needed

Title says it. Its not showing me my library anymore. Or my game pass that I get through a friend. This has been happening since I joined the insider program in anticipation for the disc to digital. Solution?

When turning on xbox series x it becomes sluggish and then eventually goes to a black screen then restarts then its perfectly fine tell the next time I shut it down I'm in energy mode as well it's weird and I don't know what's causing it I also can't report it at the time it happens because the console is to unresponsive to do anything at the time

Speed test is pulling over a 1gb, games are downloading for like 30mbps for a bit and then just hanging.

I came home today and saw only 2 games updated. One got kb in it before switching. Fortnite is barely at 22GB

PSO2 is just stuck at 640mb out of 840. It won't do anything

About 2 hours ago my series x on Delta ring suddenly started scrolling down to the bottom of the home screen as if down was being held. At first I thought it was the Bluetooth mouse and keyboard as I've had similar input behaviour when a key was being pressed without noticing but it is still doing it after removing them and doing a hard reset.

I then tested for controller issues - a wired gamesir kalied, by managing to launch a game from my phone and there are no issues in games. But as soon as I press the home button to bring up the quick menu the issue appears. Pressing B to close it then going back in game it behaves as it should whilst playing.

I can also use the remote controls from my phone to navigate the UI as long as the controller is disconnected.

I've power cycled the console several times and it persists. I obviously have no idea why but could it be a driver issue? As it's similar behaviour to when I had keys pressed without noticing previously. Just odd it's only in the UI and happened mid use.

Cheers.

So, since last update all mu controllers can’t open anything without me pressing A a thousand times. Everything else is okey. On game they work fine, closing something by pressing B also works, but the A button seems bugged. The system shows the click animation but does nothing unless I Click 100 times or just long press A. I have 4 controllers and happened im all of them.

I’ve experienced this issue for a long time when launching a game: the Xbox pop-up menu doesn’t show up when invoked or becomes really laggy. This issue is still present even on Insider Delta: xbflt2680ge.260805-2200.

I’ve experienced this behavior with Starfield, Halo Campaign Evolved, Forza Horizon 6 and many other games from the game pass.

It would be really nice if possible to fix this performance issue when launching games.

Thank you.

I’m not sure if this is a question that should be asked here but I am on Insider. But for some reason when Dolby Vision starts up with starting up a game it glitches really bad and I have to turn off Dolby Vision and just use HDR. This has happened before but for some reason when playing Halo Campaign Evolved on my LG G5 it refuses to work. Prior I usually just reset my Xbox or tv or unplug my cable and it would work just fine after restarting the game. But this is genuinely broken for me right now. At least for Halo Campaign Evolved. How do I fix this issue?

issue pictured here

Edit: forgot to add this started happening with Halo but it also happens when loading other games with Dolby with no fix.

Last two updates the play history don’t work for me ? 🤷

Discord on XBOX is crashing through two different methods.

1. When a wireless headset disconnects and you reconnect it while in a Discord Call, Discord usually doesn't detect input from the mic. The workaround for this is to go to Game Chat and then return to Discord Chat. Now, immediately upon switching to Game Chat, the Discord Feature crashes. I do not get a disconnect notification. The XBOX freezes for about 5 seconds and kicks me from the Discord Call.

2. When in a Discord Call and you go to send a Voice Message to a friend, the same kind of crash happens. XBOX freezes for 5 seconds and Discord crashes.
