MUCH faster, awesome community section now!
Sound effects when navigating the UI. Feels much better.
Notifications icon in the sidebar/guide is now the windows 10 equivalent. New messages icon in the sidebar.
You can now see when someone is in a party/game from friends list. You still can't see party roster.
Haven't used profiles much but there is a captures section where it shows all of their clips in a neat fashion.
The menu you get when pressing and holding the Xbox button is now a wire frame menu with no solid green (only highlighted item is green). In this menu they added quick shortcuts to narrator and magnifier (don't know if new).
You can now "snap" friends, messages, parties, settings.
Plex can play .mkvs flawlessly now and without crashes.
Xbox select now works correctly on the home screen/guide.
Background is brighter and actually fits the screen now as you select the image.
Netflix input bug was fixed. It used to get input from the guide/home screen with the menu open.
You can now snap achievements and the UI is FAST. I think it is faster due to only showing your recently played games though. But the achievement tracker works and it shows like your last 5-10 played games. No more delays on this ****. Just a quick loading indicator.
You can now remap your controllers!
You can now toggle "Appear Offline".
Edge no longer loses it's cursor randomly. Edge no longer crashes on HTTPS websites randomly.
You can now dismiss notifications with x from the notifications pane.
You can now kill background apps with the menu button from the home screen.
With party open, press x to quickly mute the party or y to quickly mute your mic.
In friends list press x to invite someone to your party when they are highlighted. Based 360 features
People are reporting that overscan is fixed for them. I never had this problem as my TV had native resultion detection anyways.
Rock band 4 controllers still don't register as a device and system menus/home doesn't respond to input.
Still no way to hide games from ready to install or am I missing something?
Cortana is now disabled and the hidden option can no longer be found. If someone finds it I will give them 3 months gold. I guarantee it is a button combination in settings somewhere. Apparently my console just needed a hard reset.
They still haven't fixed the guide button where it stops functioning after power cycle of controller sometimes.
I wish they'd not update almost every time I switch the sodding box on.. its rather irritating now!
Part of being a Preview user mate, upside is, we get to see new features before others, but we are also guinea pigs for their bug fixing... and the constant updates, which is partly a good thing, fixes issues.
Does Forza 6 now work flawlessly with the new dash? Thats the one thing stopping me changing atm!
Any way to still get into preview program? Only upgraded to Xbox one a month ago![]()
I've not had any issues. Not updated to the latest build above though, but I doubt it will be any different. To be honest I've had very few issues so far. Few little crashes here and there, and had to disable direct stream in Plex as mkv playback was broken (which is apparently fixed in the latest build) but all good other than that
I think they've stopped accepting new members now tbh, but i can send you an invite when I get home and you can try.![]()

The only real annoyance I'm getting now is occasionally, I turn my Xbox on from quick boot, and my TV via USB dongle fails to work. Just a blank screen and a hard reboot is required.
I still can't get achievements as background... got a nice one from Smite and it's just not available![]()

Yeah good point.. but given the reason I joined the Preview was 360 emulation and it has few titles I wonder if they have added more or are waiting for the release (later this year)?
