Microsoft is releasing another Xbox One Preview Build to those registered in the Preview Program. This build is delivering fixes for several core aspects of the console, including Messaging, Cortana, Narrator, Virtual Keyboard and Settings.

With build number 1610.161103-1900, we have the following changelog:

Messaging
When a user attempts to send a message and cannot due to low reputation, that user will now see a dialog informing them of the reason they cannot send messages, and direct them to Xbox Support.

Cortana
Speech recognition for France, Italy, Germany, and Spain has been updated in this build to better recognize your voice commands. If you are located in one these locales, we encourage you to opt in to Cortana via the Cortana app in My games & apps. As you use Cortana we collect field data, allowing us to improve the Cortana experience for everyone.
Groove Music should no longer crash when launched via Cortana.

Narrator
Resolved an issue which caused OneGuide to crash if launched while Narrator is active.

Virtual Keyboard
Resolved an issue which could sometimes cause the virtual keyboard to stop recognizing input.

Settings
The Detailed Network Statistics page should no longer appear blank if Xbox Live is experiencing an outage at the same time.

When turning on the console, it will prompt to update before being able to connect to Xbox Live. The new update may not be available just yet but will be later today.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
