Reddit user Xenokaii shared his frustration after their Xbox Series X | S-console automatically downloaded Update 2504,250227-2200, which has a 5 GB of file size and is available for Xbox Insiders. Although automatic updates are not abnormal on Xbox, the update was released with an error that caused the user's system to initiate a factory reset, resulting in profiles, gaming libraries and other data removed from the console. Xenokaiii claims that this was the “biggest error” they have had since then as a member of the Xbox Insiders program, and many other users chime in with the problems they have experienced with the update. One of the problems that can potentially arise after installing update 2504,25022222200 means updates for games that are not downloaded or installing, which is what some users call a “update loop.”

Xbox Insiders Preview Update 2504.250227-2200 is reportedly causing factory settings on Xbox consoles

The Reddit -Posten received attention from XB1R_Hypnos and Gurukronos, both of which are members of the Xbox Insiders staff. According to XB1R_Hypnos, a service problem affected system updates, in addition to gaming and app updates, and a fix for factory reset errors rolls out for the Xbox Insiders. Early user reports indicate that the bugfix was successful and prevented the factory reset bug from occurring, so XB1R_Hypnos encourages the Xbox -inSiders to update their consoles again. The update process can also be initiated from the mobile Xbox app, but it is possible that players may need to update manually from the console if they have been affected by the error.

Although a fix rolls out for the Xbox Insiders, many fans are not happy that this problem was not captured before the update was made in preview. Even after installing the fix, some users report that they needed to adjust or configure settings on their Xbox Series X | S consoles. Fortunately, the fix solves the loop problem that some users may have experienced with their Xbox games and apps on the Xbox Series X | S.
