  • Store fix to resolve a crash when changing your Payment instrument.
  • Pins reverting to Previous locations is fixed.
  • Localization fixes – German fix for Sharing on Xbox Live
  • Incorrect battery icon fixed for some users

Known Issues

  • Sometimes Cortana reports a poor network connection, when the network connection is fine.
  • Cortana may occasionally freeze at "Warming up…" and become unresponsive.
  • See-It-Say-It sometimes fails to turn on when first launching an app, but will turn on after using a voice command from within the app.
  • When saying "Hey Cortana" on the Home dashboard with a game minimized in the main tile, Cortana may become unresponsive.

Microsoft notes that "you can manually begin the update by launching the Guide and navigating to All Settings > System > Console info & updates" and the update will prompt you to install no later than 1:00AM PDT 7/6/2016.

  • I still couldn't launch EA Access FIFA 16 after the last update, I had to use the disc again. Hopefully this update will fix it...
  • Do I need to be invited? If so my nickname is AcookookX1. I'd be thankful for the invite.
     
  • Yes, you do need an invite. I just got in, but folks said I wouldn't. So, I invited everyone on my friends list and some from here as well, lol. I'll hook you up. You have to accept me as friend so I can invite you. Look for it.

  • Not update available as of today.
  • So I don't know when this came out or if its new to this release but we can now stream TV to xbox app. I did it by accident but I know before it used to say this app could not be streamed. 
  • I can do that and I'm not even on preview...
  • Oh ok. Previously it would tell me that theTV app couldnt be streamed.
