<p>Starting at 2:00 p.m. PDT today, members of the Xbox One Preview Alpha – Skip Ahead and Preview Alpha rings will begin receiving the latest Xbox One system update (1810.180816-1920). Learn more about the new features in development for 1810 <a href="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/?p=97184&preview=true">here</a>, and read on for a list of fixes and known issues in this 1810 system update.</p>
<h2><strong>Important Build Notes</strong></h2>
<h4><strong>Shopping Cart Update</strong></h4>
<p>Thanks so much for your feedback on the new Shopping Cart feature in the Store! We’ve heard your feedback and are now taking Shopping Cart offline to make fixes and improvements. Shopping Cart will return to the Store in the next few weeks.</p>
<h4><strong>File a Bug shortcut on the Console</strong></h4>
<p>Trying to file a bug and your controller is dead – plug in a keyboard and hit Windows Key + F to file a bug! This will work when your controller input isn’t working or when you cannot get to power center.</p>
<h4><strong>Broadcast Everything</strong></h4>
<p>With the latest update, Xbox users will be able to broadcast not just gameplay but the entire Xbox One console experience to Mixer. Users can turn on this setting in the broadcasting tab in Guide.</p>
<p><img class="lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-99342" src="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/Broadcast_1810.png" alt="" width="517" height="389" /></p>

<p>This setting is always disabled at the end of the broadcast and the user must explicitly enable it. This feature will prevent unnecessary pause screens on Mixer as the user transitions from one game to another.</p>
<p>The broadcast during this time will behave very much like a capture card with a few exceptions.</p>
<ol>
<li>Non-game audio is not included in the broadcast.</li>
<li>HEVC applications like Netflix and YouTube will terminate the broadcast.</li>
</ol>
<p>When this setting is enabled everything you see, your audience will see: your Home screen, the guide, your game, notifications, what you’re typing, and more.</p>
<p><strong>Be careful not to broadcast personal information such as passwords and credit card numbers!</strong></p>
<p>Double check your privacy settings</p>
<ul>
<li>To keep your email from showing on Home, go to Settings and choose Account > Sign-in, security & passkey, and uncheck Show on Home.</li>
<li>To hide notifications, go to Preferences > Notifications and uncheck Notification banners on.</li>
</ul>
