How do I take a screenshot of the home and games menu? The prompt isn't showing up anymore.
I noticed some audio issues recently.Anybody else getting the very frequent crackling audio via headphones plugged into a controller? I get it so often when major alpha preview builds come out and makes it impossible to watch media content through YT or Netflix for a bit, usually games work pretty well but it's been acting up. Usually need to reset the whole system but sometimes that doesn't help, I have a long audio cord from the tv but the quality is rather lacking.
Effects all my controllers and headphones as well, even using the adapter.
I *think* that the upcoming 40 Pin limit is 10 more than it used to be? Can anyone remember/confirm?

I do. I had all 30 pins used up last time. The first row was all media apps (Netflix, Plex, Crave, Youtube, Twitch, IGN, etc.), the second row was the major games I was playing at any point, or games that I hadn't gotten around to yet, 3rd and 4th rows were dedicated to smaller games that were good for quick games when I didn't have much gaming time. Things like Divekick, Rocket League, Videoball, Jackbox, Magic Duels, etc. The kind of games that, for me, aren't top of mind, and I don't play often, but I like reminding myself I have them easily and visually, so that when friends are over or when I don't have much time, I can quickly jump into something.The last major updates increased it to about 30 and this recent one cut it down quite a bit. However I would like to know to people really take advantage of pins ever so often? I fine myself just using the recently played tab more and the old way of just scrolling down getting to the pins in the guide was way faster.
Any reason why I didn't get the latest dash update? I been in the preview program since it started.
A couple of my friends that I invited to the program when you could do that got the update but I did not.
Takes a while to adjust to something new again but the speed at which the dash moves is great. Having quicker access to some things that might take a few menus deeper is nice.
Still plenty of work but they are on the right track.
I like it. Even faster than before and except for the new default home layout (and the pins which they are fixing) everything is much better.
The new guide is amazing, dunno why people are complaining about one extra tap when it moves so fast, and can handle more content better too.
Let me fill tbe entire 2nd screen with pins.
Also the huge game title text in the screen center is so ugly.

I like a lot of what they've done with the Guide, but Friends being buried in a submenu means you can't scroll over and quickly glance to see if one of your favourites is online/what they're doing. On the other hand, it being in the submenu means you no longer have to navigate past all the other fluff to actually get to your friends to invite them or whatever (because now that can all be below the friends list).
I think they could probably split the difference there by just showing more info in the menu item that opens the full list - rather than just gamerpics, show the full info for your top 5 friends, but keep it a single item that opens the submenu for the full listing.
Exactly. I have 100+ friends, but only about 6 favourites that I will drop what I'm doing to play with. Having quicker access to see these is my biggest priority on that tab of the guide.I do think if you press the guide button then press left once, you should be able to see friends online without needing to button in further. Favorites should always take priority.
My guide glitched. It's no longer "grey", it's a deep black.

So when's the light theme coming fam
Looks good so far. The closer we get to this the better.I remember you wanting a light theme Etta did you get what you envisioned?
So the standard (dark) mode will now be like gray it seems?
I really wish we could have it black (because I have an oled tv and I think its cool when its super dark) and I wish that weird dumb gray accent bar on the home tab could be made completetly transparent, no me gusta
update to pins is fantastic tho, much needed my goodness
Is anyone else having an issue with not being able to access their games even when online? It keeps telling me that I need to be online or set the Xbox as my home console (this is on my second Xbox at home and I've always been able to play my games while online with my account). I sure I'm online because I can stream from Mixer etc... Tried a hard reboot and nothing. Not sure if it's a preview bug or a local issue with my Xbox.
I can't launch my games but it doesn't say anything about needing to be online. Just kicks me back to dash after the loading splash screen for every single game I try.
Ok so it's not just me, I was freaking out a little.Is anyone else having an issue with not being able to access their games even when online?

Ok so I'm not alone. It's doing the same for me now. Ughh.

It's an issue that lots of users are experiencing. Xbox support is currently tackling it.
