Cortana hasn't gotten any better in the new build. I might not have had the infinite cortana noise bug today but the voice recognition was probably even worse, and no new commands? No improved TV channel recognition yet?

Me too.I want the option again to pin the things from the store like games,dlc's etc like the previous store.
On my way took ages to install this morning
Does anyone know if the issue with large party sizes (> 10) is fixed in the latest build? On the support forums, someone mentioned doing a factory reset corrected the issue, but I really would rather avoid it -- unless it is working fine for other folks and there's really just some incorrect bit on my xbox.
It has always been like this on Xbox One.
I verified this a couple years ago with the only two games I ever owned on disc for this system. Forza 5 and DR3. If you are online the entire game will be downloaded from Xbox Live. You can 1.) hear almost no drive noise as it is not accessing the disc and 2.) also were able to confirm this by checking the bandwidth usage tab in the network settings.
This is also why installing offline is so much faster cause it is actually instilling from disc and not downloading the entire game.
Don't go around and say this like it is fact and something that allways occurs. I remember there was a bug causing this to happen down the road, but it got fixed long time ago, maybe you conducted your test during that period?
I just verified that it works like it should installing Forza 5 from disc, while being online and downloading the update at the same time.
I got promted with an update around 14GB, even if the new download indicator was showing my download speed through the whole installation, my total bandwith usage went up with roughly 15GB during the installation, just as expected.
That being said, it is possible new Anniversary Update had problem with the download-bug again, or perhaps people just got confused with the new 'download speed indicator', but it is definatly nothing "that always been like this on Xbox One" like you claim.
Yeah, this does strike me as a big thing as well. Does this mean I could suffer some kind of overdraft penalty with the funds in my MS wallet if I don't keep tabs on what I've pre-ordered to know how much money I really have available?
It seems like I could pre-order something, then maybe buy a cheaper title later on and accidentally fuck myself out of that pre-order because I forgot about keeping enough funds for it.
I don't know what was wrong with the current system that made them decide it needed to change.

Okay this preview build is so fucking strange, first I tried the new quest to install the new films and TV app which then proceeded to download a German version which proclaims to no longer work and trying to redownload it is a shit show.
Hard reset did nothing not to mention the YouTube app doesn't want to work or acknowledge it being installed and now I own every EA sports game from the last 3 years in my ready to install list...
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS UPDATE?

I'm hoping they bring it back.
It will just cancel the pre-order in that case. That's what Sony does. They will cancel it and send you an email that the your account doesn't have the necessary funds.
Downloading right now.
Just so people don't get confused with the June 20 update released yesterday, this is a new update.
June 21: New update available for Preview (rs1_xbox_rel_1608.160617-1700)
They're just going hard with updates. I wonder when the official Anniversary Update rollout is?

Where is my Background Music? 
It'll come on the Anniversary Update in July or later this year?

Clubs and Arena as well?
Is there any advantage to handling it this way?

We sure about that? The initial rollout of this preview mentioned this is one of two updates for the summer, with no direct mention of background music being in this first one. I'm kind of assuming it's a second summer update after the Anniversary Update.
I believe Ybarra has said Clubs, Arena, and LFG are "fall" updates.
I would assume the second part is still for the Anniversary Update. I believe they only broke them down into two parts because they had features they hadn't announced yet and wanted to reveal them at E3. Unless I missed something and they said part two is later this year?

enrolled like 2 weeks ago but enrollment is still pending
I can understand it for credit cards. You were essentially giving them interest free money and that was before what we have now where you can pre-order games that are 9 months away from release.
It doesn't make sense for gift card balance though. Money is already parked on your account in that case.

Me, unless it downloaded overnight, haven't checked yet.
How does Facebook friend finder work? Would your friends also have to enter their FB info on their consoles and/or Xbox app before they show up on the friend finder? I'm asking because it doesn't seem to work at the moment, or at least I don't see any friends when I go Suggestions>Facebook friends.
I even turned my Kinect off.
Yeah it doesn't work atm.

Cortana felt more responsive this morning. Maybe it's the update, or low traffic on the servers.
I think "start my Xbox" works better than "start my console" too. I guess that will be my go-to command, even if I dislike using brand names in common language.
*edit - Cortana is definitely more responsive. It still takes too long for a specific command like "pause", but at least it doesn't take 5 seconds thinking about it first. Also it could start Plex from the first try, maybe it was lucky but it's already an improvement.
I like the new store features, with rating distribution and user comments (the mean score doesn't mean much if you don't know if some people hated/loved it or if it's just average... also now you can know why).
*edit2 - and finally the shutdown command recognizes "yes", no more pushing the button, back to the 21st century ! ^^

I just got the update yesterday. Magically my Kinect is working again. Previously the Kinect would come on, then turn itself off after about an hour. It was on all night last night. Not sure what they did there.
You do. The free EA Access trial ends Friday.

Yes, that's happening to me as well! I was thinking about installing DA:I and see what happens but I'm wary at somehow automatically get subbed to EA Access.
Edit:
Ah. That's what it is. I forgot they were doing that!
Oh, that explains it. I thought it was some weird preview glitch.

Does telling your xbox to change channels not work anymore?
Edit:
Never mind, Cortana's working now.

This preview round has been a little rough. Not installing stuff on standby mode is a huge pain, and I can never seem to click on the "My games and apps" button on the home screen on my first try.
I push right on my controller and nothing happens, push right again and I advance two screens. It sometime seems like the homescreen and store doesn't recognize inputs, but when you do it again, it catches up.

Holy ducking shit. I plugged a new drive to my xbone (not sure if related), but every single game I'm trying has lost my save.
I hope this is a nasty bug with this build, because even deleting the local save gives me a blank file after syncing.
Any one with similar issues?
Edit: Phew, guess it was a bug. Hard reseting the console did the trick.

I don't like Cortana. The Xbox function was better for most things.
It's early days for Cortana on Xbox. It's super buggy and a pain in the ass to use right now, but it has the potential to be far more usable than the old system. If they can constantly update Cortana with user data then it could be really impressive after some decent public use. I'm trying to remain optimistic with Cortana.

It's definitely the right call long-term, but the user experience right now is pretty bad. Hopefully they can get the existing commands up to the snuff before public release...I'm not very enthusiastic about that happening though.
------------
On the bright side, the Store has made massive improvements over the last few builds. The UX for Xbox simply wasn't implemented when they first launched, it's much better now (still some work to do). The smaller icons for everything looks so much better.
I'm with you. I really wish I could disable Cortana and go back to the old "Xbox" function. I miss just saying "Xbox, on".

Lol this is the last time going into betas for this. This one has been very bad for me on lot of things. Unable to sign in, games wont load, cant go to the home screen while playing the game, and game store being a mess. I did all my feedback on these issues so doing my job but no more after its done lol. Last year preview i had little to no issue.
