My avatar app got update with a rename, now it's called Originals Xbox Avatars.
I guess they are keeping the old ones for purchases and games that use them, but the new avatars should be hitting soon.
I guess they are keeping the old ones for purchases and games that use them, but the new avatars should be hitting soon.
Yeah I saw that updated the other day, it's been called "Original" Xbox Avatars for months. There is another app that is for the new ones, they accidentally released it a few months back to Alpha ring preview people, but the app didn't work.
I appreciate the help. I found a similar solution before but it seemed like that only worked on the Xbox One S/X, he as the OG. Would that change anything?
New Alpha update today.

Fixes:
Network
- When a user loses XBL internet connectivity for any variety of reasons (ISP issues, home router issues, XBL service issues, cable pull tests, etc.) the console will now recover its connectivity a lot quickly.
- Stability fixes for Game chat.
- Resolved stability issues with the continuous broadcasting feature when users would pause and restart the broadcast.
- Fixed issues when updating games.
- Fixed an issue in which some TV devices would not show correct color and/or luminance for XBOX HDR GameDVR recordings.
- We resolved an issue when some users would receive an error when Inserting a blu-ray without having the app installed. The fix now takes the user to the store PDP (Product display page) to download the app.
- Resolved an issue in which resulted in all mixer audio streams being muted when the user simply wanted to mute the mic.
- Resolved issues in which Store purchase flow is broken for some users.
- We fixed an issue in which after opening several tabs, particularly if they are resource intensive, opening new tabs, typing in the address bar, or anything that causes a new process/component to be created can hang and eventually crash the browser.
- We resolved an issue in which the Xbox App (PC, iOS or Android) was unable to wake the console if it was in connected standby mode.
Known Issues:
Pi-hole
- Pi-hole users may encounter issues signing in, creating, or recovering accounts upon downloading the 1804 update. This is due to a new configuration file which is downloaded from a URL Pi-hole blocks by default.
- Workaround: Add clientconfig.passport.net to the Pi-hole allowed IP address list.
- Netflix on Monitor only works at 1080p and does not support 1440p – Netflix is aware of the issue. Workaround : If watching Netflix on a Monitor/LCD please set the display output to 1080p.
- Some users are discovering that some games are not showing in HDR – Please file feedback when you encounter this to help in the investigation.
- Some users are discovering that the search function in Spotify is not working. Please file feedback when you encounter this to help in the investigation. Workaround – Type in a search hit enter and nothing happens. Click the left stick twice and it searches properly.
- Some users may experience a problem with a controller vibrating non-stop when using the share controller or the co-pilot feature.
Profile Color
- Sometimes users may encounter the incorrect Profile color when powering on the console.

Was hoping that today's update would better address hdmi issues I'm having the last day or so. It's gotten really bad. Audio and video drops/stuttering. I wonder if they've really borked something adding the VRR and updating the HDMI. Never had this many issues before being an insider. Am in first Alpha group. Guess this is what I get for being a guinea pig. Lol
I have no idea if the last update has bugged my Xbox out or if it's dying. This is frustrating
Problem started when I tried to move apps from external to internal hdd. Everything froze. Hard reboot.
Later, I try to get into SoT with a few friends. I'm invited to party but while maneuvering through the guide to get to the party tab, I click on invites and nothing happens.
I try to go to settings. Press A. Nothing happens.
I factory reset by powering cycle (and using bind and eject method). Black screen.
I try to update firmware using usb. No luck. I get errors 105 and 101.
Finally after multiple tries, I get the console to reboot and I reset everything. Seems to be working.
I just did a full shutdown. Turned console back on. Now looking at a black screen but can hear prompts.

Xbox Support conformed latest preview has borked several consoles that can no longer display a screen when booting up!
Have to hard factory reset for time being until they can patch a fix. (Unplug, reply's, hold bind and eject, press console button on while still holding bind and eject. Let go of both after beep)

- Fixed an issue in which some users may experience a black screen or a console crash when the default audio is set to Dolby Atmos.
- Fixed low audio volumes some users have been encountering in various apps and games.
Really hope this will fix the stuttering audio/video issues Ive been having since a couple updates ago.
I've been experiencing the low audio issue with shows on Hulu, applying the update now, hopes this fixes it.
I'm super late to responding to this, as I just saw this response, but that is what I wound up doing. The biggest hurdle with reporting, I found, was that I couldn't use the Xbox mobile app for text entry. It made reporting a chore, but it's important enough to me that I did bang out the "issue" and how it differed from previous iterations of the OS. I could have used a USB keyboard, couldn't I? I am just now vaguely remembering that that's a thing.

I put myself into the Delta ring to avoid getting 3+ updates a week, but for whatever reason, they've been pushing several updates a week to Delta ring, anyways. Also, 4+ updates later and I still don't have any audio for FFXV. At least it's the only game in my library that's been affected (at least as far as I know). And yes, I did already report it; I don't think reporting it again would do anything.

It's a big mistake releasing this update to the public anytime soon. The audio/ video issues going on are a pain in the ass. Most people will think their system has gone faulty. Have been reporting the issue for weeks and it seems they are not close to a resolution of this issue as the fixes haven't been working. Something is seriously wrong with the HDMI updates they've done.
Haha, here we go!I would like to point out Microsoft has changed the header for the Preview Announcements forum to the old school Xbox logo

Edge is still weird.
I had a steam opened up and when I went home and navigated the dashboard, I could still hear the audio.
I had a steam opened up and when I went home and navigated the dashboard, I could still hear the audio.
I like to change my gamerpic at the beginning of every month, but whenever I press the Guide button, I still see the gamerpic I was using last month. In certain games where your gamerpic is visible in the menus (like Cuphead), the displayed gamerpic is the one I was using last month, though the Xbox sign-in screen does show the correct gamerpic. I don't suppose anyone else has noticed this on their profile?
For me edge with the latest build finally goes nearly perfect.
I'm guessing they are caching images locally somewhere and they refresh after a certain date. Not sure if there is a way to clear all local caches but you could try that if it exists.
Very cool, loved the old logo, moreso than the current one they have.I would like to point out Microsoft has changed the header for the Preview Announcements forum to the old school Xbox logo
Any indication when the damn update will be out to the public? I want to make extensive use of the twitter share capabilities as soon as possible ...

My guess is this week. Alpha Ring members are already receiving the May update.
Goodluck trying to use YouTube or any streaming service with updates queued. The updates seem to take all the bandwidth priority, and other services halt to a crawl.
Using those apps on the console? The opposite is actually true, if you're using a streaming app (or most games) on the Xbox, your download speeds will be throttled.
If you're not using anything else on the console and you are using a streaming service from another device, then yeah it might suck up your bandwidth.
New avatars look good, looking forward to that new Xbox Live progression update that Windows Central reported on a while back, I think that will lean on the new avatars pretty heavily.
Brad is teasing new stuff on twitter, and it looks like they have cleared out of the Y button on the Home and Games & Apps sections, so I think a new feature is going to be shortcuted to that: https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/8cz0j3/xbox_one_insiders_preview_alpha_users_check_out/

It's almost as if they looked at my personal wishlist and completed it! ( Except for an actual wishlist haha). Finally folders and being able to trim clips, also isn't 120hz support a pretty big deal? Feel this deserves a new thread, could definitely see Rocket League adding a 1080p/uncapped mode for VRR on X.
