The Xbox team are busy pushing out fixes to Xbox One Preview members, ahead of the Anniversary Update being sent off to millions of consoles. Here’s yet another build bringing some further fixes to deliver a smoother experience on Xbox One.

\n

This build comes with the version tag of rs1_xbox_rel_1608.160714-2120, and delivers the following fixes:

\n

• My Games & Apps
\n• You should no longer experience game or application installation failure to start after being added to the queue.
\n• Games should no longer display as apps in My games & apps

\n

• Cortana
\nYou should no longer an issue which sometimes cause Cortana to fail to switch focus when snapped.

\n

Here are the known issues:

\n

\n

• Blu-Ray Player
\nWhen watching a video with the Blu-Ray Player, the screen may dim after a short period of inactivity.

\n

• Payment & Billing
\nYou may be unable to add PayPal as a payment option.

\n

• Profile
\n• Users are able to select their own Gamertag at no charge once per account. After this you will be charged for future Gamertag changes. In the current update, any free Gamertag changes will complete successfully. Attempting to purchase a Gamertag change will charge your account, but will not change your Gamertag. Please avoid purchasing a Gamertag change on Xbox One at this time. To successfully change your Gamertag, visit https://account.xbox.com/ChangeGamertag.
\n• When selecting “Add new” to add a new profile, the add profile interface may take up to 30 seconds to appear.
