Issue: snapping apps or stepping backwards through menus re launches closed games.

rbrown-uk · Feb 17, 2015

Currently if you've been browsing the menus on your Xbox and you are pressing B to back out of the n level deep menu system that you've burrowed into, it's pretty likely that, at some point, the console will then hit the game that you closed ten minutes
ago and attempt to reopen it. This shouldn't happen. It's not expected behaviour that backing out to the dashboard instead actually reloads things that you closed (even by using the START>QUIT option).

Since there's no way of knowing how far deep you are in the chain of previous opened windows/apps, you can easily hit B and have to sit through the opening cinematics or whatever before you can minimise and close the app again.

Expected behaviour: if the chain of B button 'back' commands hits a full screen app then it goes to the dashboard instead/skips the app.

Related issue: snapping some apps will reload the game or app you've just closed, just so that it can snap to something. This is also really annoying. If I am not in a fullscreen app where I can snap something already, or if I'm on the dashboard, then I
do not want to load some random previously opened app just to snap a mini app.

Expected behavour: snapped apps snap to the dashboard, or can be launched from the dashboard as full screen apps. Don't relaunch closed games, ever, without the user specifically selecting that game or that pane on the dashboard.

Snapping apps

I'm a member of Xbox one preview program and can no longer snap app such as tv. When using Cortana she will ask witch one and I tell her and she opens the whole thing instead of snapping. Also don't even see the option to snap in general please help.

Snapping apps?

After the Spring 2017 Update, how do you snap your apps to the side of the screen? I can't seem to find it.

Honestly, this update is kinda annoying to me, I was ok with the way it was. This new stuff is confusing to me. Also, I haven't seen yet something to prevent random people to add me as friends against my will or the ability to send a group. message without
having to create a conversation. This is a step backwards in the Xbox One to me.

A lot of people are having this issue, it won't launch from the Xbox (Beta) app, but it launches perfectly fine from both the Xbox Console Companion app, and from the Start menu itself. It's an extra step needed to launch the game, but that should help
you get into the game until they resolve the issue with the app.

A solution that worked for me is downloading the game through Steam, and the Xbox App. Then launching the game through Steam to verify it launches and closing then closing the game. After that I launched the game through the Xbox app, it worked just fine after that. I have no idea why this worked for me, but it did. A small solution hopefully that works for you and others too.

Hey Metallica5711! When you launch a Backward Compatibility game, are you able to connect through the Xbox 360 guide? You can access the guide by pressing the view and menu buttons when a Backward Compatibility game is launched. Post back and let me know!

Either use the voice command Cold Fusion is suggesting or:

1) Press the home button on your controller to go back to the home screen

2) Use the directional controls to highlight the snapped app (You will see a thick white border around it on the large preview tile)

3) Click the menu button and select "Quit" from the menu

Ideally in step three the "Snap" entry in the menu should change to "Unsnap" for snapped apps, but that's for the OS upgrade to come

i agree. this is a HUGE issue. Obviously this should be an option as you can do this with the NFL app. when you have the NFL app in the snap menu, you do have the option to mute it by hitting the menu button on the controller. It seems like a no brainer
to have this option available for all the apps. Especially the TV app. This current error makes the TV app in the SNAP Menu unwatchable as you here volume from the game and live tv. Please let me know when this is updated. again HUGE issue.
