An alarming issue has surfaced among users enrolled in the Xbox Insider Beta program. Multiple reports from frustrated gamers reveal that a recent Xbox Insider Beta update is causing console resets, affecting gameplay and user experience. According to insiders, after downloading the update, many Xbox consoles, particularly the Xbox Series X|S, are automatically resetting during use or after a power cycle.

This issue appears to be impacting both the system’s functionality and users’ ability to navigate the console’s menus, often resulting in the need for a complete reboot. Xbox users have expressed their concerns on various forums, with some experiencing the reset loop more frequently than others. In extreme cases, users have noted that even their settings and preferences seem to reset, leading to the reconfiguration of their profiles and settings from scratch.

Xbox developers are aware of the situation and have reportedly begun investigating the cause behind the glitch. A statement from the Xbox Insider team assures users that a fix will be rolled out soon, but as of now, the problem remains unresolved for many users.

The timing of this issue is particularly concerning, given the growing anticipation for upcoming game releases and the continued popularity of Xbox consoles. Users have been advised to consider opting out of the Insider program temporarily if they are experiencing frequent issues or to avoid downloading the latest update until a more stable version is released.

For now, Xbox users in the Beta program will need to exercise caution when updating their consoles or, in some cases, wait for the patch that will hopefully address the problem soon.
