Just yesterday, it was announced that some Xbox Insider Program members would begin receiving the first wave of redesigns and new features which would eventually be seen for the rest of the public in the Xbox One Creators Update. While the new build delivered a redesign of the home hub, increased system performance, improvements for Cortana and much more, Microsoft has finally officially pushed out a changelog for the known issues with the update. As is usual, we’ve included the details for you below!

- Sign-in: With profile sign-in settings set to “Lock it down”, you may be unable to sign-in again playing a game, then signing out. Workaround: Hard reset the console (hold down the button on the front of the console for five seconds until it fully powers down, then power it back on).
- VUDU: VUDU may fail to launch or videos may fail to play due to a connecting to network error.
