Fired up my xbox today and I no longer have game pass as one of the options when I scroll down. I click add more then select gamepass and it says make some room. Wtf?

No one else getting this? The only option I have is to remove pins which I don't want to and I can't add anything else.

Edit
Restarted the xbox and now have a completely different dash with no apparent way of removing / changing the order

Sounds like the xbox was in the middle of applying the new dash which led to some interesting errors.
That is the new dash unfortunately, less user friendly and basically one big game pass advert! I have been sending feedback on it through the insider app which in so many words reports that they REALLY need to let to us customise our own dash again - if they want to have big fat game pass sections then fine but at least let me move them to the bottom and out of the way of what I want to have easy access to :mad:

It's so annoying having to scroll down through stuff I will never use to get to my pins.

Has anyone ever opened up their series x to clean the fan?

I was thinking about giving it a go as can see a light coating of dust on the fan and dust on the heat sink fins.

Just worried about breaking the seal to get to the screw.

Perhaps I shouldn’t worry and leave it as is, but just curious if others have opened their series x?

I've stripped mine down completely, my advice would be if it's under warranty, I wouldn't bother unless you can see the heatsink is carpeted in dust.

If its outside of warranty, there's nothing stopping you removing the casing to clean the inside. I do it every few months as I had problems with games closing down and the console completely shutting down.

I repasted the main processor which helped, it turned out however, Hogwarts legacy corrupted my console. Offline system update fixed it completely.

I'll be running games at a much higher level of detail and a very high FPS than the console though.

Dunno about "much higher level of detail". I''ll give you higher frame rate, though. But is anything above 60fps really needed in most games ? And I say that as someone who owns a decent PC. These days I mostly play on PS5/Series X because I much prefer playing on a large OLED TV lounging on my sofa versus sitting at a desk in front of my wide-screen monitor. For example, Forza Horizon 5 .... looks great at 1440p 60fps on the OLED ; or I can play at 120 fps on my PC. The higher frame rate isn't noticeable, in my opinion.
