Not sure if it is the Netflix app, which needs work, or WiFi on the X1.  But video will buffer a lot and then eventually error out and I have to go back to the menu and play again.  Netflix on my laptop and tablet is working fine playing Netflix and streaming to my Chromecast works fine as well. 

 

Ideas?

 

thanks

sometimes that happens to me with the xbox 360 and ps3 when using apps like Netflix,or NHL gamecenter live, but when run through the browser on PC, it works perfectly fine. in fact, ive completely abandoned the NHL apps on both consoles, as I get ridiculous buffering with a 250mbps connection. there is over head with these apps, as stuff has to go through xbox live, instead of being a direct tunnel to Netflix. either the server you're connecting to is ######ed, or there is congestion.

I had major issues with Twitch on the XBox One keeping its connection, and I am hard wired. I also seem to sign in and out and Live all of the time without prompting it too. I am starting to wonder if the One has connectivity issues overall at an OS level.

I always praised AppleTVs Netflix app because it always spooled up quickly and maintained an HD stream vs the 360, which would take a while to start playing and then always start playing in SD and switch into HD later.  Now with the X1 I get similar behavior to the AppleTV, no problems at all.  Once soon after I got it it wouldn't connect to Xbox Live for some reason. I rebooted the console and that seemed to fix it.

 

Also, I've always been on WiFi.  Can't get a wired connection to the area I would need it.

I have no problem with Netflix on XB1. But I have minor problem with Xbox Video on XB1 which freezing from time to time.

Same here, Netflix works great but Xbox Video has major issues. Very frustrating because almost all my movies are on Xbox Video. If I watch them on my computer they stream fine, Xbox 360 streams fine, but Xbox One the streaming is horrible. It will downgrade my quality constantly and at times kick me back to the video details page with an error. I don't get it.

Verizon FIOS, but I am pretty confident it has nothing to do with them, as every other component in my house, including my XBox 360, has zero issues. Only the One, which is why I feel it is something with the OS itself.

Sounds like a connectivity issue with the X1 itself, seems fairly wide spread but most likely just a software issue. Bring the issue up with Microsoft support and hopefully the more people who send in bug reports the faster it gets fixed.

Was reading that earlier.  So I will have to look in to that some more.  I got home today and my internet speed was less that 1mbs.  Odd but reset it rout/modem and all is well.  So Comcast may be having issues.  Have not called support yet because I hate talking to those idiots.

The issues related to Comcast are only showing on the X1, not the 360, so its not impossible that a similar issue might be affecting you. Its something about how Comcast handled IPv6 connections and the X1 not liking that method.

But regardless, since its only Comcast that has been officially affected, I would suggest calling MS support and letting them know of your issue.

      If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.

      Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.

      Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
