CURRENT KNOWN ISSUES
- Skype
You may be unable to answer calls through Skype notifications.
- Netflix
You may experience a "Do you own this game or app?" error when launching or using Netflix if it was installed by another user on the console. Workaround: While signed in as the primary user, uninstall Netflix, navigate to the Store, search for Netflix and select Free to download and install it.
- Profile
Purchasing a Gamertag change on the console is not functioning in non-US locales at this time.
When selecting "Add new" to add a new profile, the add profile interface may take up to 30 seconds to appear.
- Cortana
When using a language Cortana does not support, you may still see references to Cortana in text.
- Pins
If you have pins on your Home to movies, TV shows, or music, they will disappear from Home when that app takes its new app update. The pins for the apps will stay on your Home, easy to get to.
- My Games & Apps
You may encounter an error when attempting to load Ready to Install with a large number of digital games and apps.
If a universal app version of an app is available, the version which is not currently installed may appear under Ready to Install (causing what appears to be the same app both installed and in Ready to Install).
- Community Calendar
Links to the Store in Community Calendar event details do not currently function.
With under two weeks remaining until the update's expected release to the public, we can anticipate further refinements over the coming days. A number of new universal apps are also expected to appear on the console, including Microsoft's reworked Groove application for the Xbox One.
