Please avoid purchasing a Gamertag change on Xbox One at this time. To successfully change your Gamertag, visit https://account.xbox.com/ChangeGamertag.

- Cortana
When using a language Cortana does not support, you may still see references to Cortana in text.

You may encounter an error when attempting to load Ready to Install with a large number of digital games and apps.
- Community Calendar
Links to the Store in Community Calendar event details do not currently function.
In total, this makes the eleventh update to hit the Xbox One Preview Program this month as we gear up for the August 2 Anniversary Update release for Windows 10. With the Xbox One update releasing shortly after, these updates continue to beat out issues ahead of launch.
