Known Issues

We understand that some issues have been listed in previous Xbox Insider Release Notes. The Xbox engineers are actively working on finding solutions, although it may take some time. Here are a few known issues:

Audio

• Intermittent issues with audio across the dashboard, games, and apps have been reported.
  • Note: If you experience audio issues, please submit feedback via Report a Problem immediately. Make sure to choose the “Reproduce with advanced diagnostics” option and select the category “Console experiences” and “Console Audio Output Issues.” Provide as much information as possible to help us reproduce and address the problem.

Keyboard Button Mapping for Xbox Controllers

• In the Xbox Accessories app, the “Learn More” button is currently not functional.
• If you change your keyboard language settings while the Xbox Accessories app is open, the change will be reflected after quitting the app or rebooting your console.

Manage Queue

• We are aware that recently installed titles may wrap to a second row unexpectedly, and we are working on a fix.

Networking

• We are investigating reports of an issue where the console may not connect as expected on boot. If you experience this, report the issue via Report a Problem.
  • Workaround: Wait for a minute for the connection to establish. If your console still hasn’t connected, restart it using the Power Center by holding the Xbox button > Restart console > Restart.

Upload your Captures to OneDrive

• If you are backing up a large collection of captures (1000+), it may take a while for everything to appear. Please allow a few days.

Make sure to use Report a Problem to keep us informed of your issues. Your feedback is crucial in finding a resolution. Although we may not be able to respond to everyone individually, the data we gather is essential.
