I enrolled in the Insider Program Preview ring (Beta I think) and then my Xbox One Series X...

I was on the phone with Xbox support for over three hours today. Let me just say, I’ve been in the insider program for Xbox One since it started. Never once had an issue on my original Xbox one. I was in the program on my Series X mainly for preview/betas. I didn’t put the system (Series X) in any preview rings until the other day. Decided to go right into Beta. I think, might’ve been Alpha the more I think because there was more than 3 options to choose from and I’m pretty sure I had an invite. Anyways I went into beta or alpha on I want to say Friday…Right after I updated, my Xbox started acting real weird. Much slower, some delays here and there. I didn’t think too much of it due to me being in a preview. So I just assumed it was acting strange due to being in the preview ring A or B. I’m playing today and my games keep crashing which never happens. So I’m already thinking of getting out of the preview ring. I’m playing The Show 22 and decide to open the store. Store won’t open. Try to open Elden Ring. Doesn’t open. I get 3 different error codes while trying to play any game/app in a panic. The more I try to open games/apps - the worse it gets. Factory reset. Nothing will opens. Games, apps. Except dark souls remastered (I have the disc in). Nothing digital will open. Insider hub won’t open. YouTube tv opens and nothing else….no games no Netflix….factory reset again. Nothing. Call Xbox trouble shoot nothing works, call back try more stuff, nothing works. We tried everything under the sun. “Out of warranty and you can get it fixed for $300”……….I’m just going to buy a new Series X and see if I can get this fixed on the side. I don’t know how much of a coincidence this is or if this preview ring fried my box but I’m bummed. I think I’m good with trying any preview rings moving forward. Just wanted to tell my story. I have more serious stuff going on in life right now so this is more of a sigh than the end of the world. But I rely on my Xbox for my sanity and now I gotta figure this out.
