Patch Tuesday Today

[bosamar]

Does Microsoft have an official RT 'Wish list' website. Maybe the mode here can start an official 'want list'?

Thanks for the heads up.

Why are multipe threads on the same topic a norm in this forums, and not merged?

1) Because posters do not search before posting and 2) The mode don't jump :big smile:

@ZachBui,
Thanks for the breakdown.

Do you even do updates? I've only done a couple since buying my RT

Had a bit of a scare installing these updates and firmware. After installing and allowing a reboot my screen froze, being that there was a firmware update involved I just let it sit there to see if it would finish up since I didn't want to brick it. After 30 mins and no change I decided to just force shutdown and restart, figured I was maybe screwed so was ready to go to the MS Store. Happy to report everything came up fine. Phew!

Disappointment #2: I never had issues with audio getting distorted since purchase, after this update my XBox Music crackles/distorts the audio when I switch apps. I'm pissed.

Got it fixed. My region is United States of America. Changed it back to Philippines. Re-started the Music app, and no more crackle/distortion.

That was scare!

Sure was a ton of updates. My RT pulled more updates at first try than my wife's RT.
