Hey Xbox Insiders! We have a new Xbox Update Preview coming to the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring. It's important we note that some updates made in these preview OS builds include background improvements that ensure a quality and stable build for Xbox consoles.
We continue to post these release notes, even when the noticeable changes to the UI are minimal, so you're aware when updates are coming to your device. Details can be found below!
System Update Details:
- OS version released: XB_FLT_2109CO\22000.2119.210727-2200
- Available: 2 p.m. PT – July 29, 2021
- Mandatory: 3 a.m. PT – July 30, 2021
Fixes Implemented
Thanks to the hard work of Xbox engineers, we are happy to announce the following fixes have been implemented for this build:
Game DVR
System
- Fixed an issue where users could not take screenshots of record game clips.
- Fixes to address various issues preventing users from installing a system update.

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
Dolby Vision for Gaming
- Some users have reported that they are not hearing any audio with Dolby Atmos enabled.
- We are receiving reports that users are getting distorted/crackling audio while playing games. We are aware and investigating.
Edge (New)
- Some TVs do not support Dolby Vision at 120 Hz currently and will fall back to either 60 Hz or HDR. We are working closely with TV manufactures to update firmware support for Dolby Vision capabilities. Go to Settings>General>TV & Display Options>4K TV details and look for "Your TV setup supports Dolby Vision".
- Users may notice that some titles such as Mass Effect: Legendary Edition might stop supporting Dolby Vision for Gaming after the initial release. This is expected while the feature is in Preview.
- Some users have reported Dolby Vision for gaming not performing as expected.
- Note: If you encounter an issue, please make sure to check the following:
- Ensure the TV has the latest firmware
- Use the Xbox-provided HDMI cable that was included with the console
- Connect the TV directly to the Xbox and try to see if the problem still persists (i.e. remove any AVRs, Soundbars, HDMI boxes, etc.)
Games
- Pins related to the new Edge browser will not work if you decide to remove your console from the Xbox Update Preview.
- Workaround: Pins should be deleted and re-added.

- We've received reports some users are seeing a black/blank screen after installing an update. We're aware and investigating.
- Workaround: Some users have reported a simple reboot resolves the issue. If that doesn't work, a factory reset should get the console back up and running again. Instructions can be found here under "Reset using your console" and selecting the "Reset and keep my games & apps" option.
Narrator

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
Dolby Vision for Gaming
- Some users have reported that they are not hearing any audio with Dolby Atmos enabled.
Edge
- With Dolby Vision enabled, some TVs may introduce input latency when playing games.
- When 120Hz, ALLM, or VRR is enabled, some TVs are unable to enter Dolby Vision mode.
- On some TVs, a brief green screen may be shown when entering/exiting a title with Dolby Vision enabled.
- When playing a title with Dolby Vision and ALLM enabled some TVs may exhibit washed out colors.
Games
- Pins related to the new Edge browser will not work if you decide to remove your console from the Xbox Update Preview.
- Workaround: Pins should be deleted and re-added.
Guide
- We've received reports that controller input is not working when a game is launched.
- Workaround: Reboot the console and relaunch the game.
HDMI-CEC
- We are investigating reports of the audio mixer being unable to adjust chat/game audio levels.
Home
- 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.
Installation
- Some users have reported that the icon for a disc-based title is not appearing on the dashboard.
My Games & Apps
- Some users have reported apps and games cannot be re-installed after failing to launch repeatedly.
- Workaround: A factory reset will need to be performed. Instructions can be found here under "Reset using your console" and selecting the "Reset and keep my games & apps" option.
Narrator
- Titles in collection may incorrectly appear with a "trial" tag.
- There are several sections of the dashboard that the Narrator does not currently read. We are aware of the issue and investigating.
There's a little AR app you download on your phone and you can see the controller/console in AR and it has little helpful features in it. The quest is surveying the use of that app.
I get this the first time I press the Guide button when I just started or came back to a game, it's in the known issue list.

Interesting. It works perfectly with my C1. Haven't had a single issue. I'm in the Beta ring.
Yeah, same here (my previous TV has issues with CEC with the Series X).
I think they post regular updates on Xbox Wire as well, just way less frequently.
