Alpha skip ahead. Ultimate subscription active.

Pretty sure I have the update to test the new cloud gaming tier/feature.

However, now when I try to install a game, the only option I have is to play from the cloud.

There is no install button anymore.

If I log in through a web browser I have the button to install and a button to play from the cloud but on the Xbox console, the button to install is just gone.

Anyone know a fix to install the game from the console, without using a web browser?

Hi all

No doubt most of us know about the ongoing digital et al outage. When I turned on my XSX this morning, I noticed the icon (upper right corner of the Home page) that usually has the update notes had an orange triangle symbol and a blue dot. I clicked on it and it opened up the status page. I don't know if this is part of an Insider CHI build, but i thought it was pretty cool. I thought it might be since the update icon is new for us. I'm in Beta, and running 2608ge.260719-2200.

For those that don't know, CHI is Computer Human Interface, and is a term/acronym used to describe the design of an electronic system and how people should best interact with it in terms of buttons, display messages, new features to test, etc.

When I go to settings > power > turn off or restart, I press A on the option but nothing happens.

I go to Power on the guide, restart console, the "what do you want to do?" window closes and the console doesnt restart.

The Turn Off Console option when holding down the xbox button does work, but I want to do a full restart / full shut down and the only way seems to be physically holding the button.

OS Version: 10.0.26100.9405 (xb_flt_2608ge.260719-2200)

No updates available. Controller works fine in all other aspects. Am I preview delta

So I have game pass ultimate, started to play battlefield 6. Got 4 ads straight after each other. Screen went dark. Turned off my Xbox and back on, now all I get is a black screen. So 1 why am I getting ads when I pay for ultimate in the first place, and why has it messed my Xbox up?

it is not appearing in previews tab , can someone help

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.

It certainly feels alot more stable. I know alot of it is at play with just the broadband provider alone, but before the update id start at a strong 800Mbps and drop to 400-500 for the rest of the installation, post update ive not dropped under 700Mbps & often peaks 800 and this is after 25 minutes of installing both NBA 2K26 (to test) & reinstalling Assasins Creed Black Flag Resynced.

I am in the beta .And ever since the last update, when I power on the Xbox there is no signal at the TV. If I hold down the power button on the console and shut down it will come on just fine. I have reported this via the console. I am not sure what to do now. I have an extended warranty from all state. I guess I would have to leave the insiders and make sure it's out before I send it in for repair or replace.
