Feels like it's been a while since we've had an update. That response tweet indicates there'll be another update before the Anniversary one though?

They will probably give us the anniversay update without new features to test nothing got broken with all the background changes.

Once the E3 annoucement is through they can quickly add new features.

That's cool. So a preview update two-three weeks prior to the e3 date depending on which wave you are in .

I fully expect a video on the new Windows 10 update for xbox one at e3. Showcasing Cortana and these 'gaming features'.

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
Had two massive lock ups this evening in quick succession.

First was on boot up, set to instant on but got green Xbox One logo with the 3 white dots, booted into a black screen and nothing so powered off again.

Second boot up, got into my game this time (Rise of Tomb Raider) wanted to quit to dash, pressed guide button, dash locked up and eventually another black screen.

Having a weird issue with Live and I'm not sure if it's related to the preview or not.

My console is only showing the "Home" tab and no others. To the left of the large last used app tile there's a vertical one which just says "Connect to Xbox Live". Clicking this does absolutely nothing, it doesn't even bring up any sort of menu.

The strange thing is, if I press left to open the guide, I can see online friends, messages, etc - so the guide is acting as if I'm online, yet the dash won't show any of the store pages or activity.

I've tried reconnecting to WiFi through settings, and it says all is good with the connection, but the dash is still stuck in the same state. I've also tried a console restart, and then a hard reset - nothing has fixed it so far. Xbox.com isn't reporting any issues with Live currently.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? I had it once before and it fixed itself after the next update - since the next update is the end of May, I hope there's another way to sort it.

Worth noting MS sometimes sneaks out behind the scenes changes to preview members without announcing. eg Backwards Compat was already rolled out to Preview before the E3 announcement and nobody knew.

WHY do these updates get to like 70 percent then CRAWL?! It happens each time. I'm literally waiting here at 81% and it does a megabyte every maybe 30 seconds. I don't get it. Is it technically done downloading and starting to apply it, or is it just fucking slow.

Yeah, it combines download/installing into a single meter, so when you see it slow down it's probably largely installing.

Or just keep your Xbox in instant-on and never wait for an os update.

Since doing a factory reset, the preview app is gone from my "ready to install" list. I spoke to support and they said it will take some time for the app to re-appear while it checks eligibility. I hope it'll be back well before E3 in time for the new features.

No it doesn't. It downloads then reboots then you see an Installing Update screen. So the download screen is not also installing.

Not exactly installing but ...

The download finishes around the 70% mark. Although it displays it wrong.

Look into your router menu when you can see the current download speed there. It downloads the complete update from 0 to 70%. From 71% on the download speed shows 0

The rest is probably just unpacking the image which can take its time on these cheap 2,5" notebook HDD´s ;-)

Starting to get hyped for the summer update. I hope they can get a Spotify Windows 10/Xbox app for background music.

With all this time they had and their comments about getting background music right they better have every damn music app available for background music. That means all available ones and of course Spotify now that the one year exclusive deal with Sony is up.

It was just a one-year deal? I was unaware of the duration.
Nice, then. Makes it very likely it will be on Xbox, then.

Hmmm more and more updates in quick succession. Wonder if this will continue until the big preview update comes for us.

I doubt it. They've done similar small bug fix updates when they've had a few months in-between normal monthly updates in the past. In the past it culminated in just a bug fix update to the public.

Developers of those music services are responsible for developing their apps for the platform if they wish. MSFT will surely reach out to companies with those services to encourage them to develop, but they certainly can't force them to develop or to have them out the launch of the UWP platform on Xbox.
