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.

Very good.
I've noticed-- and i don't know if this is preview related--but I've noticed my start up and shut down console sounds swap from time to time.
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.

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
Edit: Oops I am not on the latest OS, so I am not the best example
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.

- Mandatory: 3 a.m. PT – July 9, 2022
Fixes Implemented
Thanks to the hard work of Xbox engineers, we are happy to announce the following fixes have been implemented for this build:
Game DVR
Quick Resume
- Fixed an issue with some game clips not displaying a thumbnail.
System
- Fixed an issue where Xbox 360 titles were launching a new session instead of resuming as expected.
- Various updates to properly reflect local languages across the console.
- Note: Users participating in Preview may see "odd" text across the console, for more information go here.
Known Issues
We understand some issues have been listed in previous Xbox Insider Release Notes. These items aren't being ignored, but it will take Xbox engineers more time to find a solution.
Controllers
Games
- We've received some reports that users' controllers are randomly losing sync or disconnecting from the console. If you encounter this behavior please make sure and report this issue after reconnecting.
Guide
- Some users may encounter an issue where games fail to launch after using some streaming apps. If you experience this, please use Report a Problem to submit feedback.
- Workaround: Reboot the console and games should launch normally.
HDMI-CEC
- We are investigating reports of the audio mixer being unable to adjust chat/game audio levels.
Home
- We've received some reports that HDMI-CEC is not working correctly.
- Note: Ensure that your TV supports HDMI-CEC and is also enabled before filing feedback.
My Games & Apps
- Some users have reported that the icon for a disc-based title is not appearing on the dashboard.
Store
- Titles in collection may incorrectly appear with a "trial" tag.
TV/Display
- Some users have reported seeing a "flicker" when navigating/browsing the Store catalog.
- Some users have reported that the console is displaying at the incorrect resolution on boot. We are aware and investigating.
- Note: If you encounter this behavior, please ensure that you submit feedback via Report a Problem immediately. Please include the make/model of you TV/Display in the description.
- Workaround: Restarting the console via the Power menu (Holding down the Xbox button displays the power menu) should resolve the behavior. If not, ensure you are looking at the troubleshooting here, specifically the section about ensuring your TV firmware is up to date.
From now on, I'm going to add only the fixes implemented in the new update.
