Oh thank god.
I know I'm still on an Xbox One S with an external drive, but my GOD the UI has gotten INCREDIBLY unresponsive when selecting a game and often unreliable, with the update scan taking MINUTES.

Whatever they did recently to check apps before loading really messed with the flow.

Woot, I've complained about this recently. I'm glad they're adding it. I hope they add a way to control the sleep timer for the controllers.

In the past week or so I had an update stall at 90%, after waiting a good half hour I powered down the console, unplugged it and the update went through after powering back on. Close call I guess but I've never had that before!

Oh yea, my controllers have been losing sync randomly for months now. I always assumed it was some momentary signal disconnet, but I sit so close to the console that I was always a bit confused. Never even thought of reporting it as an issue with the console/controller. Huh.

Worked fine for me all weekend
It worked fine for me last week but since then my Xbox button doesn't work with the guide never opening, everything is constantly freezing and if I can get a game open the color is drained from it.

Happening on both my iPhone and iPad. No idea what it could be.

From 'quake area to big OH.
Reporting that strangely there is a black square on the settings page, lower right now. Looks like a block of dead pixels.

Well trying to. The new report tool is just spinning for minutes.

After 10 minutes, relaunching and still not working. Gave up.
