Faulty Xbox Insider Update Resets Consoles to Factory Settings

Alpha and Alpha Skip-Ahead participants report profile deletions, lost settings, and Quick Resume data after mandatory update.

The latest Xbox Insider update is causing consoles in the Alpha and Alpha Skip-Ahead tiers to reset to factory settings, removing user profiles and settings.
Affected users report losing Quick Resume data, wallpaper preferences, system settings, and being logged out of media apps.
While previously installed games remain intact, users must reconfigure their consoles and re-add their profiles after the update.
The update, intended to fix profile display issues and Dolby Vision compatibility, has resulted in significant unintended data loss.
Xbox Insider participants are advised to opt out of the program if they wish to avoid similar risks associated with pre-release software.
