I wouldnt think Upload Studio 2.0 would come at the expense of other OS stuff though considering that Soho Productions are a whole studio for doing that?

I hope this fixes my controller connection issues.

Xbone software and features were already made with the win10 mentality of everything being an app, so they can update core features of the platform independent of the OS, and can update the OS without having to throw away any feature their apps provide.
That means in general they can keep improving the platform gradually, and win10 becomes just a underlying change that might make the apps and the platform itself more capable.
But with win10 some of these apps will become universal, so we can't know for sure whether Ms will replace a current app with less capabilities initially, but ported to the new platform.
Yeah, those two additions are pretty much all I want now. Everything else would be extra.

Somebody might have posted this early seeing as the page in the OP is now gone.

I just bought an Xbox One, what are they fixing with the controller?
From someone who's only had a PS4 since launch I have to say the X1 UI is so much worse and feel a lot slower

Thanks, I don't think I've ever been so confused with a UI till I bought this system

Please tell me I can finally upgrade my controller firmware.

I guess it was more going through the settings and making adjustments that I think feel cumbersome
The UI is very unintuitive. And snap is fucking garbage.

Why is it garbage? I personally like watching TV on it, and having achievements/messages/friends etc on there too is cool. It does need the sound mixer on the snapped tab though
It's slow, annoying, and has no option to turn it off permanently.

Transparent tiles make this update.
It does take a few straight days to get used to the XB1 UI
But after that it's fine. A couple features are not apparent from the beginning, like Snap and how to use it

They really need to add a button for directly inviting friends to your party chat like it was on Xbox 360.
Pretty much everything in the UI takes too many button presses.

lol just don't use it then.
Ah yes, I kind of forgot about this.
Now we already know 3 things which could happen in the March Update
* Screenshots
* Upload Studio 2.0
* Better reporting of spammers (according to this tread)
True
I think there is a general misconception that there will be a "new Windows 10 dashboard" for the Xbox One which is new from the ground up ...
They will just continue to evolve the current dashboard and change some of the underlying code so it gets support for Windows 10 universal apps and so on.
You cant avoid it, even looking at achievement notifications after the game is closed will reopen the game and then snap achievements instead of just going into the normal achievements app. Its fucking annoying. I personally hate snap. i have a nice big screen i don't wanna play my games in a smaller box and to even scroll through achievements anyway you have to double tap the home button to make that possible, thus taking you out of the game still anyway. So there isn't much point in it.
Correct. While there will be some additions and changes to make things more universal and streamlined across devices, there won't be a "complete overhaul".
Did you leave the headset connected to the controller when you did the update?
The adapter, not the headset.
It's a problem I have, since this update was available for people in the preview program. The static is pretty loud when the controller is powered by the micro USB cable and I tried several micro USB cables. Even if it's powered by batteries, people tell me that there is a little static when I'm talking, but they can barely hear it.
Support couldn't help me either and told me to power cycle my Xbox One. That's by the way their answer to all the problems, but it doesn't work.
I'll see if somebody reported it with the new report feature and if not, I'll report it.

Mike Ybarra said that they will start doing regular updates to the Win10 Xbox app, mich like they do on Xbox, very soon. I can't wait
That would be great but as I stated there is no option to keep it from ever launching, as in you can't turn it off. You have to wait for it to launch and then unsnap the app. Like I said, it sucks

This is almost the only thing missing + a snappier feeling OS.
But i'm sure these are coming this year. Can't wait to see what Microsoft have planned for Windows 10 UI on Xbox One.
Score. I'm happy to see the controller sync-up improvements in there, and screenshot down the road will be a nice touch, too.
I've gotten a lot of use out of it. Being able to play Threes while betting on #IDARB matches is something I'm weirdly looking forward to. We're at a point where even without the Kinect, I'd be surprised by someone finding it unintuitive after maybe a week of use.

And sometimes hitting snap will re-open a game you just closed. And often times hitting 'B' will back you out of the main UI right back into a game or App you already closed. It's a terrible UI. Doesn't help that their answer to complaints has been to just add more and more clutter to it. Gotta give them credit on their updates though. They've added or changed a lot of functionality over the past year. It's still not a fast nor intuitive UI if you're one of the many new owners who chose to buy an X1 without Kinect.
I find it extremely unintuitive after a full year of use.
Can you honestly say that you understand exactly when an app like Achievements or Friends will be snapped instead of opening full screen when you click on it? Or know exactly to which screen you will be taken every time when you press the B button?
Yep, exactly.
