If you opted into automatic console OS updates on your Development Kit by using XBOX Device Portal (XDP) or Developer Home (Dev Home), manually updating the console by using XBOX Manager or by running XboxOneUpdate.bat fails. If you want to manually update the console OS, go to the OS recovery update policy setting and select I install OS recovery updates manually. After you select the manual recovery option, run the manual OS update from XBOX Manager.
