Xbox One S not automatically updating

Xbox One S not automatically updating - White Xbox One Game Controller

My Xbox One S is part of the preview build/early update ring, but I don't remember seeing this preventing automatic updates. This goes for both system updates and game updates.

My console is set to Instant-On, I have the box checked to keep games & apps up-to-date, and my console is set to turn off after 6 hours of inactivity; I usually power off using the controller when I'm done though.

Any possible causes or would the preview updates necessarily explain everything?

First off, settings that matter: System -> Updates -> Keep my console up to date: Checked. System -> Update -> Keep my games & apps up to date: Checked. Power & Startup -> Power mode & startup -> When Xbox is off, turn off storage: Unchecked (only matters if you have games on an external drive)
