Tonight all subscribers to Xbox One preview program should you receive a message that informs them give your membership for participation in the beta of the new Xbox Experience One, i.e. the new dashboard coming for all in November. To do this, just open the program and preview app, in the "recording", change your "Preview registration-Existing Xbox One Experience" to "Preview-New Xbox Experience".

If you decide to do so, this does not mean, however, that soon you will receive the update: are you giving your membership but then your subscribers will receive the update in a staggered in the manner already communicated in the past. Then will come before those that have interacted more with the preview program reporting problems, completing quests and giving feedback, and then gradually to the other.

The app puts us though warned about some problems that those who adhere to the program might have: this is a beta software in development, which can then be unstable and cause problems. Among the known issues there is e.g. the incompatibility with a series of games that fail to start, crashes, and situations that could lead to having to do a complete reboot of the console. Please read the list of "known issues" in the app and give your consent only if you are aware of the type of test you are going to do.

Microsoft explains, however, that at any time you can return to the current dashboard: simply reset "Preview-Existing Xbox One Experience" in "registration" area, and within 72 hours you will receive the upgrade of the old dash. But beware: this will reset the State of the console, with the deletion of all data saved on the hard disk. This is a problem only for the easy install, update and DLC, as profiles and saved games are safe in Xbox Cloud (of course as long as the console is connected). If you do this step, you might then want to transfer all the data to an external hard drive so you don't have to reinstall and re-download all content.

Of course this only applies if you have upgraded to the new dash and want to go back. If you have accidentally given membership and want to cancel it before the upgrade, you can do it without consequences.

For your convenience here is the list of all known issues to date, in English.

• Press and hold the power button on the front of the Xbox One to perform a hard reboot of the console.

Twist Community

Activity feed content also may not be actionable and trending items on the second level screen items have not been fully tuned. As content moves forward and Preview features in this area will light up.

Xbox App/Smartglass

• SmartGlass and Xbox Live TV App/OneGuide:  You may experience issues connecting to Live TV or OneGuide when connecting to the console with SmartGlass. Workaround: Set your SmartGlass connection to auto connect, quit the app, and restart. If the issue persists, reset the console.

Other features such as two-finger touch panning, media companions, and power on/off switch will not function in this build.

Accessories

• Xbox 360 Media Remote:
• When resuming from standby connected the Xbox 360 media remote may fail to send commands; to hard reset resolves this.

• USB TV Tuner:  If you have a USB TV Tuner plugged into your Xbox One Threshold, console Windows and SmartGlass Windows Phone devices will crash when attempting to connect to the console. To avoid this, you can switch to the Xbox App on Windows 10 or reset your TV settings and avoid setting up the USB TV Tuner.
