Xbox One Insider Build Leads To Black Screen of Death, Microsoft Issues a Fix

Xbox Insiders recently had to face some frustration over a rogue system update that led to the console booting to a black screen of death.

I never had a problem with my xbox series x neither with my xbox one x...only with my 360 I had a red ring of death once.....and a yellow light of death with my ps3...

This isn’t a public problem, only an issue some insiders got which they should know there’s a chance of problems. They should also now how to navigate basic problem solving. No ones console gets damaged or loses any save data.

The problem is Xbox let’s any idiot join the insiders program. They sign up and don’t commit anything back to the programme, when there’s an issue they assume the console is broken and start panicking.

@Highrevz; Sadly I agree ☝️

[John_McClane]

Weird, I've been in the insiders program for over 7 years and never had an issue...knock on wood.

[CoNn3rB]

I've had issues like this before with the insider program, it's the price you pay for play testing really. I'm not gonna complain because I know what I signed up for and there's often a fix a few days later

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Sounds like a cheesy horror film title tbh

[TheHan]

This is nothing, I am part of the pre-alpha skip ahead preview and I haven’t came across any such issues, though “if” this is true then a work around is there until they come out with a update.

[edeprez]

What's the work around for a console with Black screen of death?

[fr0sty]

Anecdotes are not evidence that a problem doesn't exist.

[TheHan]

Click Bait, This should be taken down

[Teflon02]

It's not a lie, it's just not a big deal as it's a preview program aka a beta program and that's what the beta is made for. To iron out these things before the official release

[MagUk]

It is a lie because it’s doesn’t brick the console.

[Malacath]

It because of problems like this that I opted out of the preview program before getting my Series X.

Trouble with the preview program is it's too easy to join. A lot of people join just to try out new features before everyone else but they don't participate with sending feedback. Instead when there is a problem they don't report it to Xbox they just whine about it on public forums.

If you are in the preview not only do you need to be willing to put up with problems like this but you also need to do your part and report any bugs you find.

If you are not interesting in reporting problems then you should not join in the first place no matter what new features you will be trying.

Ok Dad.

[Fluttershy77]

I'm not interesting enough

[IRetrouk]

Part of being on the program, they make it pretty clear from the start that issues can happen as its all in preview, there is no news here.

[Darkborn]

So it's a good thing this program is in place. This is what it was intended for. I've been in a few of these programs before but I decided not to be a part of it this generation, and this is the reason why. Sometimes things happen that hinder the experience, but it's all about getting stuff like this reported before the actual release of the patch to the public.

[BrainSyphoned]

But less threatening than the holes in the case.

[Ratchet75]

Nothing to see here.

[CobraKai]

Oh please. This isn’t gonna be a RROD problem. MS made sure they squashed that, but there’s ALWAYS gonna be a small percentage with issues regarding anything electronic.

[contra157]

Should’ve been listening to their beta testers

[sourOG]

Lmao I’d be so pissed. But at the same time you signed up for that shit. You are the beta tester so these problems don’t happen to every Xbox. If you sign up for an operating system tester then stop crying.

[KillBill]

Why are they referring to it as a "rogue system update" it was a planned insiders system update for those testing out system updates prior to release. It did not "brick" the system as it is still able to be reset and loaded anew with factory reset. Sensationalize much? lol

[ziggurcat]

Is this for Xbox One or Xbox Series X?
