    I believe updates are cumulative - so if you miss a few updates, one of the later ones will still include all the fixes from those. This means you could choose to skip some of the updates, however you'd probably be unable to connect to XBL in that case.

    Minor fixes if skipped will result in a full build being pulled down, but full builds are also pushed regularly in preview. Given the minor fixes are usually only 400 mb it's just as easy to take them. You'll probably see very frequent builds being pushed until feature complete is hit a couple weeks before release. There are still major features not yet pushed out so a lot of testing is still required.

    Anyone having any more luck with Cortana. Still snapping stuff to Bing, when all I try are simple commands.

    Yeah it's weird how your instant on didn't auto-update. Mine does most of the time afaik.

    Did you check to see if there was another update there now for you? There should be :D :pac:

    Really is something wrong with instant on, why the hell didn't it update the last one? I think it's if I'm up past the start of the release, and turn off next time I'm on and open and app it prompts me. If I'm watching TV it leaves me alone, just like tonight. Crazy stuff

    You're just turning your xbox off by the controller or saying "xbox off" are ya?

    They changed the option in power options, it's now 1 box you need to tick for all "Keep my console, games & apps up to date". Then have it in instant on mode too.

    You are on preview. Builds in the normal course of use have a lot longer before they become mandatory so the console has plenty of time to pull them down in the background. Some of these builds are mandatory as soon as they are pushed so you get that lovely friendly time to update message no matter what you are doing.

    It's probably going to be raining builds between now and August 2, when the Win 10 Anniversary Update hits. On PC and Mobile there were a bunch of builds lately (even on Saturdays).

    They should stop the week before as they will need to lock it down.

    Cortana has gotten noticeably faster and less chatty since I last tested it, and far more accurate.

    The UWP weather app has been released as well, great to see these apps start appearing.

    The UWP version of groove is up on the store as well, but it doesn't actually do anything yet.
