Bethesda has deployed a Skyrim Xbox One X and Xbox One update which addresses a settings saving issue.
The issue prevented settings from being saved correctly on Xbox One (including Xbox One X) systems, and should now be fixed. The patch is an addition to last week’s 1.5.24 update which introduced support for Microsoft’s Xbox One X console.
