The Newest Features and Experiences

Have some exciting news for you! Xbox Update Preview Beta users should expect new features.

The option of selecting specific layouts on physical Japanese keyboards has been added again. You can, for example choose the Japanese 106/109 layout or the English 101/102 layout.

Fixed

The following fixes were implemented in this build, thanks to Xbox’s engineers.

Captures

• The error message that there’s not enough storage space was fixed when you record clips onto an external hard drive.

It is not a good system.

  • Notes: Users participating in Preview may see “odd” text across the console, for more information go here.

Problems that are already known

It is our understanding that some of these issues were listed in the previous Xbox Insider release notes. These items aren’t being ignored, but it will take Xbox engineers more time to find a solution.

Audiences can be heard by clicking on the following link:

• Users have reported intermittent audio issues across dashboards, games and applications. If you are experiencing issues, make sure that you have updated the firmware on your TV or other equipment. If you’re unsure, you may need to contact the manufacturer for assistance.
  • Notes: If you continue to experience issues after applying the latest firmware updates, 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”. Please include as many details as possible.
    • When was the problem first raised?
    • Is the audio only in your game/app, or is it also system audio?
    • Is it possible to fix the problem by changing the format of the audio? How did the previous and new formats compare?
    • Rebooting the computer fixes this issue.
    • What’s included in your setup? Equipment, layout, etc.
