Microsoft is rolling out yet another bug-fixing update for Windows 10 Xbox Insiders in the Alpha Ring. The software giant is today rolling out build 15055.1000, which only includes bug fixes and improvements. Unlike some of the recent builds, the latest one does not include any new feature whatsoever and it only focuses on bug fixes and improvements.

Here’s the full changelog:

Here’s what got fixed:

  • Games & Apps
    • Fixed an issue which could sometimes cause games to unexpectedly crash during play.
    • Improved the launch times for certain games and apps.
  • Party ChatResolved an issue which caused Party Chat to display a “no microphone” error when a microphone is connected and in use.
  • Microphone
    Fixed an issue which sometimes caused microphone audio to not be recognized or sound distorted. This affected game chat (users in group can’t hear the user speaking, or audio quality is poor) and voice messaging (voice messages fail to record correctly).
  • Skype
    Resolved an issue which could sometimes cause Skype to crash while multiple users are signed in.

Here are the known issues:

  • Party Chat
    Party chat will stop functioning when headset audio is switched from Stereo Uncompressed to Windows Sonic while in a party.
  • Controller
    Upon resuming from connected standby, you may be prompted to update your controller firmware when no update is available.
  • Cortana
    Cortana may take a long time to respond when activated while playing certain games.
  • Notifications
    Some users may not receive certain types of notifications.
  • Game Clips
    After capturing a game clip, the game clip fails to automatically post to the Activity Feed (if your profile is configured to do so).
    **Workaround:**Manually view game clips in Profile > Captures > Manage captures and post to the Activity Feed.
  • EA Access
    The EA Access app may indicate you are not an EA Access subscriber when you are. This does not affect your ability to download or play games from the Vault, or receive discounts on EA titles.
  • Screen Dimming
    The screen may dim after a short amount of time while viewing videos in certain apps (Hulu Plus).
  • Settings – Ease of Access
    When enabling the Mono output setting in Ease of Access – Audio, Settings becomes unresponsive, crashes, and fails to launch on subsequent attempts.
    **Workaround:**To launch Settings, perform a hard reset (hold down the button on the front of the console for five seconds until it fully powers down, then power it back on).
  • Settings – Display & sound
    The Audio output page is under construction and some of the new settings are not yet functional. New support is planned for Dolby Atmos for home theater, Dolby Atmos for headphones, and more in upcoming builds. An announcement will be made when these new features are ready to try out; enabling these settings now will have no effect.
  • Wireless Display
    The Wireless Display app fails to launch and immediately crashes to Home.

If you are an Xbox Insider install the update by heading over head over to Settings -> System -> Updates.
