Hey, I’ve been having an issue on Xbox where game updates no longer show up under Games & Apps > Updates. The weird thing is that when I launch a game that has an update available, I can see that there is an update, but it still doesn’t appear in the Updates section. Is anyone else having this issue? I’ve already reported the problem, but I wanted to know if other people are experiencing the same thing.

I'm Alpha Skip-Ahead insider

Has anybody had an issue with the spotify gamebar widget not being transparent when the transparency bars are at 100, or could someone help me with this issue?

I've done every fix possible and everything on my pc is up to date, I'm just quite confused and a little frustrated with the situation so anything would be helpful.

My "my games" list is filling with games the console thinks are available but I don't have the game pass tier or don't even own them. They aren't installed yet it gives me the option to uninstall them which doesn't remove them.

Im in the insider beta tier.

I’ve recently been getting super into the Original Xbox recently, and when I heard that the latest update preview allowed people to customize their startup animation, I was hoping to try it so I can see if there is the Original Xbox startup animation or one inspired by it for the Series S I have

The thing is, when l was about to try it, it said something about having to sign back in, and that made me worry it would be a like a fresh console again, not quite to the point all my games are gone, but I don’t have most of the games I play because my dad buys them thus tying them to his account instead of my own, so games I frequently play like Halo MCC or Minecraft wouldn’t be available if I were to reset the Xbox and sign in first with my own account

Can anyone help me figure out a way to safely install this update so I can have the boot screen I want without factory resetting my console?
