Known Issues
We are aware that some issues have been listed in previous Xbox Insider Release Notes. Our dedicated Xbox engineers are actively working on finding solutions, but it may take some time. Here are a few known issues:
Audio
- We have received reports of users experiencing intermittent issues with audio across the dashboard, games, and apps.
- Note: If you experience issues with audio, please submit feedback via Report a Problem immediately with the “Reproduce with advanced diagnostics” option, then select the category “Console experiences” and “Console Audio Output Issues”.
- Be sure to include as much information as possible:
- When did the issue start?
- Did you lose audio just in the game/app or system audio as well?
- Does changing the audio format resolve the issue? If yes, what was the format before and after?
- Does rebooting resolve the issue?
- What does your setup include? Equipment, layout, etc.
- And any additional information you can provide to reproduce the problem.
Keyboard Button Mapping for Xbox Controllers
- If you change your keyboard language settings while the Xbox Accessories app is open, the change will be reflected after quitting the app or rebooting your console.
Manage Queue
- We are aware that recently installed titles may wrap to a second row unexpectedly, and we are working on a fix.
Networking
- We are currently investigating reports of an issue where the console may not connect to the network as expected on boot. If you experience this issue, please report it via Report a Problem as soon as possible.
- Workaround: Wait a minute for the connection to establish. If your console still hasn’t connected, restart your Xbox from the Power Center by holding the Xbox button > Restart console > Restart.
Upload your Captures to OneDrive
- If you are backing up a large collection of captures (1000+) to OneDrive, it may take some time. Please allow a few days for everything to appear.
Remember to use Report a Problem to keep us informed of any issues you encounter. While we may not be able to respond to everyone, the data we gather is crucial for finding resolutions.
