Show me a screenshot of your mesh before the inset.

Seems like the vertex at the tip is really two vertices in your mesh. Weld them and you should see the desired behaviour.

Here it is..
@Noren, how do i do that? I'm a need at max

Synaesthesia

There's a button on the right menu right above "target weld" that says "Weld" with a black-outlined box next to it which opens up the weld threshold options. Select the verts that you want to weld and click the weld button - or set the threshold first and apply the weld.

It looks like the Inset tool is making it WAY TOO inserted. If you are completely sure the vertices are welded together, the size of your mesh may have something to do with. You can either resize it or change the values of the Inset tool manually. When you hit Inset, try setting the value to something like .001. Then, work your way through that by either entering different values or clicking the up/down arrows. Hope this helps!

I did a quick test on Max and a clean inset wont produce that error. By change you got a double vertex on the top tip? cus i got that error result when i add small chamfer on the tip.
Try to clean up your model and make sure no overlapping verts.

Its because you have an edge at the top, you probably scaled this is to make a pointed tip.
Weld the top vert.
