  1. When snapping i get a 'You need to install an app for this' popup


    if igo to Snap an app I get a message pop up saying "You need to install the game or app for this - Make sure you are signed into Xbox Live and look for it on the Xbox Store"

    If I click the search button it takes me to the store and does nothing but if I hit cancel it goes away and dosnt happen again until I turn the console off and back on.

    Console is on instant on. i've tried a few things like fully powering off ect. anyone had and fixed this?

    :)

  2. Snap not working?

    You need to switch back to the game when snapping an unrelated app using the command "xbox switch."

    Unable to install mandatory game updates.

    When I try to launch battlefield 4 or MGS I get a popup that says to install a mandatory update, when I press install it instead takes me to the games store page.

    Power cycling the console should fix this. You power cycle by holding the power button on the console for 10 seconds until it shuts down. Once the console is shut down unplug everything and let it sit for 5 minutes.

  5. Already tried that. I shouldve said power cycle rather than fully powering off

    Hey mate,

    I get this occassionally too, just click 'cancel' and it should take you to the snapped apps anyway.

    Let me know

    Cheers

  7. Indeed it does. Doesn't fix the problem though. It just comes up again next boot.

    Hopefully they'll throw the new dash at me soon anyways. Should fix the issue

    You need to have the Xbox Music App installed, but yes, music works the same way. I haven't figured out how to get it to play over the background without snapping the music app, but I'm sure an update will clear that up because it seems like a nice feature
    to have.

    Perhaps a command to 'hide' the snapped app and another command to 'show' the snapped app so that you don't need to exit out of the app when you want to get it out of the way.
