in my experience it depends on when you play / when you have your xbox on standby. it will usually download overnight, but if you have it on, then it won't do it and you probably won't get the update until you play again.

The update is supposed to come out August 2nd so they gotta be close to making one of these builds their Anniversary Update for public build while finishing up bug finding/fixing with the updates they're pushing Preview members.

Not being able to upload clips no matter how many I delete is starting to drive me batshit insane.

Anyone experiencing really slow download speeds with the last two or so builds? I just updated again tonight to the latest build and its still slow as hell. I'm downloading games at around 1Mbps.
When I test my network settings from the settings menu it shows a download speed of 74Mbps and upload of 15Mbps.
I haven't tried a hard reset lately and won't get a chance to do so tonight, heading of to bed now. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this? Thanks.

My last information (what I read) is that die Xbox One update is not slated for August 2nd.
It will come a little bit later.
And since there are still several known issues this looks legit to me

Yeah, it was a bad decision. None of the games I purchased on the new dashboard during the sale work for me (Ass Creed Syndicate, Divinity, Banner Saga, RE6), which is really annoying. I also can't even opt back into the preview program because it says my status is pending.
Hoping the release the real dashboard soon so I can be free of this mess.

Another update again? Thats been 4 in a row now which kicked me out without a warning.
First three kicked me out of GTA races where I won/spectating or close to the finish line in first, two were premiums so lost 200k. Tonights just kicked me out while I was selling 700k worth of gear as a CEO.
I've just changed over the XB1 with my second one in the other room.

Agreed entirely about updates (relating to their frequency)
I'd just like a 'check for updates' button or something similar to the iOS app store within My Games and Apps that detects when updates are available and gives the user the choice of when to download them.
I'm getting less and less time to game these days (so my console isn't always on), so that soul crushing moment of when you go to start something up and get told there's a 10gb update to download is just the worst.

Am I like in bizarro land or why is this the second time in a day where someone complains about the absence of a feature that is in preview right now?

They appear as installed on my Xbox XDSo earlier today I checked the store and saw these two things in the "New Games" section and downloaded them.
They both open to that outlook screen and crash.
But I managed to open them, just a blank canvas and the cursor from edge, but moves way faster.
Wonder what they are lol
Four times and you haven't learned your lesson to check manually for updates before you start playing? =/

They never showed and instant mode is enabled. No problems until Saturday I believe.
What?
Isn't the Xbox OS installed on a separate internal flash drive? It doesn't install to HDDs.

Probably referring to the preview app
Have a hard time beliving that, but if you say so.
Maybe should have included that info in your previous post, looks like you ignorantly bring forced updates upon youself night after night, without trying any troubleshooting.

I hate the game library on W10, it's just small icons :/ Also some of the games don't even appear on the list for some reason
Chill out breh
Preview app. One 19.9mb, other was 19.8mb. Both launched the same thing, so I deleted one.
Also, the Banner Saga 2 was installed internally even though I have the external as default. Strange.
And reading file names (bumpers + view) has some curious names. Fallout 4 is labeled "Institute" the media players are "Zune" and other dashboard related things are "Flight"

I'm chilled =)
Just tired of people complaining about getting their games interupted with forced updates night after night, when you can easily manually check and download them before you start your gaming session.
More people have problems with uploading screenshots? I noticed that these last days none of mine screenshots appeared on the activity feed. Achievements and clips do. But when i select a screenshot i made there is a option to upload to xbox live wich should do it automatically but doesnt. But when i click on it it starts for a moment and then says uploading to xbox live failed?

So earlier this week I decided to start using Instant On again. Had it set to power saving for a long time before that. Yesterday before I went to sleep I powered it off with the controller and I powered it on just now also with the controller. But what I got was the Xbox One intro screen and long loading times and not directly into the dashboard as it should. Why did this happen? I did have a preview update before I went to sleep. After that was done it went to the dashboard and I then powered it off.
Where did it load to?
that happens if you've missed an update.
Yep. If you don't miss any updates, they'll each be around 400MB in size.
If you're in preview, especially now, you should be using Instant On mode so that it automatically installs updates in the middle of the night.
You have around 18-24 hours after a Preview update is available before it force-installs on you. But if don't have Instant On enabled, there isn't much opportunity to install those updates.
(For ordinary non-preview updates, you have weeks before they get force-installed)

After last nights update I cant launch Tomb Raider any more. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

It was like I had the console on energy saving, because it had to load the whole green intro screen and from there it went into dashboard. Odd.
Even after the latest update, the updates list for games and apps still takes ages to load.
Had a problem with Killer Instinct where it wouldn't even launch and give an error and say there was a problem. Had to unistall and reinstall and that fixed it.
Just make sure you do a bug report.
Um, actually there is.
Settings - System - Console info & Updates
I have manually triggered most of the updates last two weeks, so I don't risk getting forced updates when I actually use my console.
I meant opportunity for automatic updates. Obviously you can do it yourself, but that results in a long interruption.

I don't know if Preview is causing this but yesterday before the latest update Crunchyroll worked fine. But now when I start the app it keeps loading and loading. The circle keeps spinning constantly. Anyone else have this too?

I checked the Boot up options and i saw that i had not checked ''Keep my console, games and apps up to date.'' should it now automatically install preview updates during Instant on?
It should I believe, I've been waking up to new builds the past couple weeks.
My bad, missunderstood you.
Works fine for me.
On the dashboard topic, would anyone else like if it went back to the lighter backgrounds they used on the Xbox 360 dashboard? I'm navigating the Store on the Xbox One and I'm starting to dislike how it's a black background everywhere. Settings has that too. Maybe with the minor re-branding they are doing with the Xbox One S, it being white, they can go back to a more lighter coloured environment.
It just seems so much more pleasant to look at. The all black background now feels so enclosed and constricted.
