The Xbox One Party Chat crash bug fix is kind of a surprise release, given the fact that it has been pushed on Sunday night.
Below you find all the details about this quick fix from Microsoft.
Please be aware of the Alpha status of those builds which means you might experience other severe issues, apart from the mentioned ones.
In a related Reddit thread, users report that for instance YouTube and Microsoft Edge no longer load, severe dashboard performance and app loading issues.
So while the Xbox One Party Chat crash bug fix might resolve one problem, it might cause others.

This build is a BETA ring candidate for tomorrow if all goes well.
