Known Issues

We understand some issues have been listed in previous Xbox Insider Release Notes. These items aren’t being ignored, but it will take Xbox engineers more time to find a solution.

We’re still tracking these known issues:

Audio

  • Some users have reported that there is no console audio on boot.
    • Workaround: Power off console completely (hold power button for 5-10 seconds) and leave console powered off for 1-2 minutes then power on normally.
  •  Users have reported that headset audio has stopped working with the latest update.

Console Live Streaming

  • Some titles that should be enabled for live stream may display a “can’t stream/broadcast this title” error and go into a pause state.
    • Workaround: Restart the broadcast.
    • Note: Some titles intentionally do not allow live streaming and will always display a pause state.
  • Some users report issues during account linking in Guide with a mobile device.
    • Workaround: Close the page with the QR code after completing account linking on mobile.

Controllers

  • We’ve received some reports that users’ controllers are randomly losing sync or disconnecting from the console. If you encounter this behavior please make sure and report this issue after reconnecting.

Games

  • We’ve received reports that controller input is not working when a game is launched.
    • Workaround: Reboot the console and relaunch the game.

Guide

  • We are investigating reports of the audio mixer being unable to adjust chat/game audio levels.

HDMI-CEC

  • We’ve received some reports that HDMI-CEC is not working correctly.
    • Note: Ensure that your TV supports HDMI-CEC and is also enabled before filing feedback.

Home

  • Some users have reported that the icon for a disc-based title is not appearing on the dashboard.
  • Users with a Series X|S console have reported that the dashboard is not loading with error code 0x80070490 on console boot.
    • Workaround: Users who encounter this error will need to perform a console reset (choose the option to keep games/apps installed) in order to resolve this behavior.  Instructions can be found here and select the “Troubleshooting system updates from other screens” option.

My Games & Apps

  • Titles in collection may incorrectly appear with a “trial” tag.
