Microsoft has rolled out a new Windows 10 Build for those in Xbox One Preview Delta Ring. The Build version is rs3_release_xbox_dev_ 1806.180608-1245 and it will begin rolling out at 6.00 p.m. PDT and will become mandatory shortly after that.

Coming to what this build brings, we can see new features, many fixes and performance improvements in the changelog shared officially.

New Features:

Group Your Games and Apps

In this build we are enabling the Groups feature for all of the Preview BETA ring.  You’ll need to take the new system update once available, and then perform a full power reboot of the console before Groups will be enabled for you.

With so much content available, fans have asked for more options to organize libraries of games and apps.  Today, we’re introducing a powerful new enhancement to Pins, which we call “Groups.” With Groups, you can create multiple collections of content made up of anything from within My Games & Apps. You can also assign custom names to each Group, organize and order them, and add individual Groups to Home. Groups will appear across My Games & Apps, Home and Guide, so you’ll be able to access your Groups at a moment’s notice. Best of all, Groups are tied to your Xbox Live account, so they will automatically sync across multiple Xbox One consoles. We’ve started you off with a Group that should look very familiar — your Pins! To get started, open the Guide and click on the My Games & Apps button to access your Groups or start adding to them!

Improved Search Functionality

Searching for content is now even easier!  Now pressing the Y button anywhere in the dashboard will bring up the search dialog.  This process is found in many apps, but now you can do it anywhere within the dashboard.  Not seeing enough results for your search? Hit enter or click the “more results” button to view a full page for your search results.

Additional Accessibility Options

The Narrator feature on Xbox One now supports five additional languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Swedish, and Dutch. We’re also adding an Australian version of English language for Narrator, so Australian users will no longer have to select US or UK English in order to use Narrator.

Mixer Broadcasting

Users can now enable their camera to display full screen while broadcasting.

Mixer Shared Controller:

Leaderboards are functional now when share controller is started from any 1806 console e.g. https://mixer.com/sharecontroller

Fixes:

GameDVR

  • Fixed the issue in which some users did not receive pop up notifications for Game DVR captures and the guide did not update the number of new captures.

 Microsoft Edge

  • Fixed an issue in which switching Microsoft Edge tabs will cause PDF files to disappear from the screen.
  • Stability and performance fixes for Microsoft Edge, specifically when multiple tabs are open.

 System Performance

  • Misc. performance fixes in the platform.

Known Issues:

Friends

  • Some users may notice that the online status of Friends is not updating correctly.

Groups

  • Some users may encounter an issue where their Pins are not displaying artwork or are seeing a while tile instead of their profile color.
  • Workaround: Please perform the following steps to fix the issue
    • Open My Games & Apps
    • Navigate to Groups tab
    • Scroll to the bottom of the page
    • Select Delete all groups
    • Select Delete local groups
  • The Groups tab in My games & apps may not show after sign in even though you can access Groups in Guide, or you may see “This group does not exist” on Home on first sign-in for your existing Groups. Workaround: Sign in / out to refresh these pages.
  • Some changes might not be reflected when editing Groups between multiple consoles after coming out of connected standby. Sign in/out to fix.
  • Using special characters in Group names (e.g. &,”) causes issues during Group creation or using the “Add more” flow. Note: emojis are fine. This is being fixed in an upcoming build.
  • You may see issues with Groups if you frequently switch between your non-Preview console and your Preview console. Workaround: Reset your Groups locally on the Preview console through “My games & apps” > Groups, then using the “Reset groups” button at the bottom of the page to resync from the service.

Profile Color

  • Sometimes users may encounter an incorrect Profile color when powering on the console.

Networking

  • Work continues on the stability of the Wi-Fi connectivity. If you see any issues please report the problem for investigation by performing a Full system software via the dashboard as opposed to just pressing the Xbox Power button.

  • Some users are encountering an issue where their YouTube account is being signed out whenever they launch the app.
    • Workaround: Uninstall/re-install the app and sign in with your account again.
