- Audio: Fixed an issue in which some users would experience loss of system sounds on Home.
- Game Hub: Fixed an issue in which users some users with High Contrast enabled could not see active Club counts and Looking For Group (LFG) post counts.
Game Installation:
- Resolved an issue which prevented some users from installing certain Games (Minecraft and Fallout Shelter), and received no notifications of the installation failure.
- Loss of Home Navigation playing Guitar Hero
- Fixed an issue in which users some users playing Guitar Hero with a Guitar Hero controller would return to Home and be unable to perform any navigation with their controller.
- Mixer Crowd Control: Fixed an issue when a user used the co-pilot for extended sessions the feature would stop working.

- Video Playback: Fixed issues with the UHD version of Disney’s latest BD-disc “Thor:Ragnarok” disc in which playback would hang towards the end of the movie.
Known Issues
- Pi-hole: Pi-hole users may encounter issues signing in, creating, or recovering accounts upon downloading the 1804 update. This is due to a new configuration file which is downloaded from a URL Pi-hole blocks by default. Workaround: Add clientconfig.passport.net to the Pi-hole allowed IP address list.
- Profile Color: Sometimes users may encounter an incorrect Profile color when powering on the console.
- Audio: Hulu app volume is lower than expected—the Hulu team is working on an app update.
