Known Issues

We understand some issues have been listed in previous Xbox Insider Release Notes. These items aren’t being ignored, but it will take Xbox engineers more time to find a solution.

We’re still tracking these known issues:

Apps

  • We’ve received reports that the Hulu app is crashing during playback.

Audio

  • Some users have reported that they are not hearing any audio with Dolby Atmos-enabled.

Edge (New)

  • Console browser links will not work if a user chooses the “new” browser version when prompted.
    • Workaround: Be sure to choose the “previous” version of Edge to ensure the page opens.

Games

  • Some users are reporting that their mouse isn’t working correctly in Minecraft.
  • We’ve received reports that controller input is not working when a game is launched.
    • Workaround: Reboot the console and relaunch the game.

Guide

  • We are investigating reports of the audio mixer being unable to adjust chat/game audio levels.

HDMI-CEC

  • We’ve received some reports that HDMI-CEC is not working correctly.
    • Note: Ensure that your TV supports HDMI-CEC and is also enabled before filing feedback.

Home

  • Some users have reported that the icon for a disc-based title is not appearing on the dashboard.

My Games & Apps

  • Titles in the collection may incorrectly appear with a “trial” tag.

OneGuide

  • Some users have reported getting a blank screen when launching OneGuide.
    • Note: If you see this behavior, try pressing the Menu button on your controller to bring up the app overlay, then select Live TV to ensure that the correct input is selected. If you still see a black screen, make sure to report it from the console.
  • Live TV listings for OneGuide on Xbox One have been discontinued. You can continue to use OneGuide to view your connected HDMI devices or USB TV tuner.

Profile Color
