Latest Xbox One Build Update Fixes Missing Notification Bugs Many Known Issues Still Persist

Microsoft just released a new update for its Xbox One Preview build that fixes a series of notification issues. The tech giant also rolled out another update the day before, finally allowing users to choose between using Cortana or classic Xbox One voice commands.

For the time being, both updates are only available to Fast Ring Insiders only.

The current OS version is rs1_xbox_rel_1608.160711-2017, so check your update history to see if you are already running it. This update should allow Xbox users to access the full capabilities of the Notification feature, as it fixed the last notification bugs on Microsoft’s known issue lists.

Microsoft still has a lot of work to do as there are still seven Xbox One known issues to be fix before the Anniversary Update:

This build contains additional fixes to address issues with notifications sometimes failing to appear (including for party invites, game invites, and unlocking achievements). If you encounter any further issues with notifications failing to appear, please submit feedback via Report a problem.
