Xbox One October 2017 Update

The Helljumper5 · Oct 19, 2017

Please note that what I am about to say is purely my opinion on the October 2017 update. I do not expect Microsoft to change it just because of an unhappy customer or expect you to agree with me. Everyone is entitled to their OWN OPINION.

I do not like it at all. I find that the new menu is even more of a cluster *Censored* than before. I find it tedious to navigate to my friends list or party menu. I especially despise the fact that Notifications are now in the Settings tab. Why would they
be there? I could understand if it were in the Messages tab instead. That would make more sense to me at least.

I have noticed that it takes quite a bit longer to load my games or apps (Not Games AND Apps menu) and to join or start a party. My friends have also noticed this.

Also, ever since this update, it has been telling me to connect to Xbox Live when I already am connected. I can access all my social stuff like being in a party with other people, but I cannot play any games online. This could possibly be a problem on my
side, but since I am here I figured I could add it just in case others are having this same problem. If this is a bug, hopefully it will be fixed soon along with that weird party glitch that makes it where some people can't hear each other. Some of you might
know the one I am talking about.

October 2017 Xbox Update

Hey all,

I didn't really know where to put this but I am honestly at my wits end.

We've had our Xbox One for 2 1/2 years now. Had the occasional issue here and there but nothing we couldn't fix ourselves. However, with this new update to Xbox One all of a sudden we can't play any of our games.

What ends up happening is the game starts up, loads OK (some games it says the save file is corrupted), then after about 5-10 mins the whole Xbox shuts off. We can watch movies, stream videos, and generally mess about, we just can't play games.

We have contacted Xbox who "assure" us that it isn't the update, that it must be our Xbox because and I quote "No one that we've spoken to has ever kept their Xbox for more than a year without an issue." and they want to charge us $150 to send it in to fix.

Here is what we have done:

- Uninstalled and reinstalled games
- Full cycle reset the power supply.
- Switched outlets for power supply.
- XBox is in a well-ventilated area and is dust free
- Factory reset Xbox.

We initially noticed the issue with Forza 3 and it seemed to just stick with that. Now it's ALL the games.

Please help!

There are a lot of postings on Uservoice over ability to customize dashboard/home screen - to vote for or add your own suggestions for others to vote for.

I don't think even moderators scan these forums anymore.

Good day

The kinect for Xbox One was discontinued on 25 October 2017.

It will be hard to find an adapter for it, most probably second hand aswell.

Hi there,

please try the manual power cycle steps like mentioned on the following link, be sure to wait at least 60 seconds before powering on again:
http://support.xbox.com/en-us/xbox-one/console/power-cycle-console

If that doesn't fix the issue please try these steps

Power off your console, and then unplug the power cord to ensure that the console is completely powered off.
Wait 30 seconds.
Plug the power cord back in.
Press and hold the BIND button (located on the left side of the console) and the EJECT button (located on the front of the console), and then press the Xbox button on the console.
Continue holding the BIND and EJECT buttons for 10-15 seconds.
Listen for two “power-up” tones a couple of seconds apart. Note If you don't hear two power-up tones after 15 seconds, it means this failed. Likewise, if you hear any “power-down” chirps, that also means this failed.
You can release the BIND and EJECT buttons after the second power-up tone.
This should show a menu with the option to factory reset the console, if it does not please try the steps again

If both fail then it's best to contact official Xbox Support via Phone or Microsoft Support Chat at
http://support.xbox.com/contact-us

Let us know the results

Might just have to reinstall the game. Bioware is sending out updates/patching the game as we progress toward October of 2017. Look for these bugs being fixed in the near future!

Hello ang3l of fire,

From our FAQ:

When will my MyVIP Rewards Credits be deposited into my Microsoft account?

The total Rewards earned will be calculated at the end of each month. Typically you'll receive your MyVIP earnings in your account by the 15th of the following month, though this is subject to the program's current deposit
terms. Be sure to keep an eye on MyStatement on the
MyRewards page to track your progress and watch your Rewards Credits total grow!

We only recently calculated last month's MyVIP. The Credits are now pending in your account.
