Starting at 2:00 p.m. PDT today, members of the Xbox One Preview Alpha Skip Ahead Ring will begin receiving the latest Xbox One system update (1810.180706-1920). Read on for more about the fixes and known issues in the latest 1810 system update. This build has the same features as 1806 plus more to be announced over the coming weeks!

IMPORTANT BUILD NOTE : Console Refresh

Thank you all for helping flight the early version of 1810 (Redstone 5) builds. Numerous users have reported an issue with various apps and games being unable to launch after the upgrade from 1806 (Redstone 4) to 1810 (Redstone 5).

Thanks to your bug reports, our teams were able to determine that the core OS was corrupted during this recent update. Unfortunately, the only fix for this that works post-upgrade is an OS refresh. Therefore, today’s system update will automatically Factory Refresh your console (Your apps, games and cloud saves will remain intact – however, the refresh will remove the credentials for media apps, etc.). We understand that this is frustrating, and thank you for your patience in identifying this critical issue.

Fixes:

My Games and Apps – Launching Titles

Notifications

Design change to Club notifications and LFG notifications that whey will now toast-only and not show up in the System Tab

Virtual Keyboard

We have numerous fixes in this build that address the Virtual keyboard. Users should no longer see the VK unreadable when using the light theme.

Known Issues:

Headsets

We are tracking an issue with various headsets and mics not working in the build such as Turtle Beach wireless headsets.

Issue: Connecting multiple headsets along with more than one input device on the system (physical controllers, game streaming controllers, wireless headsets), will cause headsets to no longer work.

Connecting multiple headsets along with more than one input device on the system (physical controllers, game streaming controllers, wireless headsets), will cause headsets to no longer work. Mitigation: Disconnect all input and audio devices, including controllers, wired and wireless headsets, and game streaming controllers. Once they have been disconnected, connect only one controller and one headset.

Game Pass Tab

Preview Alpha – Skip Ahead users will notice that the Entertainment tab has been replaced on the dashboard with Game Pass content. This new tab allows for easy access to the Game Pass catalog and is only available in the US region at this time, so Preview Alpha Skip Ahead Insiders in regions outside of the US will continue to see the Entertainment tab.

Groups

You may see issues with Groups if you frequently switch between your non-Preview console and your Preview console. Workaround : Reset your Groups locally on the Preview console through “My games & apps” > Groups, then using the “Delete all groups” button at the bottom of the page to resync from the service.

Microsoft Edge

The cursor may disappear when exiting and re-entering the app Workaround: Press Y when re-entering the app to make the cursor re-appear
