I microwave steaks.
Just realized there is no update option in the settings, but then again when I think about it there was never one in the 360 either.
yeah, it would just happen.

I remember you could push updates on 360 by going to test Xbox live connection, it would normally sign you out and if it found an update, do it before logging you back on.
May be worth a try if people want to push the update, may still work.

Yea I just unplugged it because I was still stuck at the screen, and that seemed to fix it.
That's because you are leaving all your apps open in the back ground. If you "quit" all apps on a you aren't using them the dash doesn't get sluggish.
No, it still does. I quit my apps religiously, and still get the chugs. I think it has to do with fast resume of games (beta) and either KI or DR3 getting into a persistent chuggy state that's only cleared with a hard reboot.

This should be live right? How can we make it happen?

Pretty impressive that they've got an update coming this soon.
Wonder if that update for scalability will allow for easier and quicker updating. Updates breaking standby is fucking stupid and makes such features a waste. Especially for non hardcore gamers or folks who get annoyed by updates. PS4 has the same issue. I expect this generation to continue the complaining about updates every time someone powers on there console trend.
Have no idea how to make the update install (or if it's even live). I use the Instant On beta, so according to the press release, it should have downloaded already in the background at 5pm (Pacific). So uh..then I need to shut it down. Then Xbone will update it, and shut off all the way. THEN I reboot it manually.
Or something.
EDIT:
Did "Xbox turn Off"...then "Xbox On"...didn't do anything.

Seems confusing as hell. Also..it's a random roll out? WTF. Would it really be that hard to have an option to "check for system update".
UPDATE: I'm an idiot. Should have read the thing more closely. If you leave it in standby mode, it initiates the Update.

So if you want to know if your Xbox is off or in stand-by you can look at the power brick. If the light is white, it's in stand-by and you haven't downloaded the update yet.
Sounds about the same as 360 updates except you can't grab it manually by doing a network test.
Good to know.
Thanks. Yeah mine definitely hasn't updated yet. So just to be clear, I basically...I can have my Xbox One on right now (watching tv etc.) and it will just randomly download in the background eventually?
I don't know, but my Xbox One was off when I noticed the power brick change. I also briefly saw my Xbox One light up on the console itself as if it was on, but I wasn't using it
The update itself is only a couple minutes, nothing too painful
Not that hard, Nintendo have that for the Wii U. And if I remember correctly there aren't any mandatory updates apart from the first one. Same with games too, if you start a game with an update available you get a window and two buttons, one to start the update and the other to play the game without updating.
Same goes for the 3DS too for firmware updates, no mandatory updates.
Nintendo have done a good few things wrong with the Wii U but updates for firmware and games is done the right way imo. Think you might have a mandatory update before you can access the eShop and Miiverse though, although I will stand to be corrected if I've got anything wrong above!

According to Major's post, only when it's in standby and there's no indication on how often it checks:
"Don’t worry, if you are out of town for the holidays, you console also does regular checks for updates and will download it in the background even if you have not used you Xbox One in a couple of days."
The only way to force a download of the update is to turn the console off and allow it to go into standby (must have the power setting of "instant on", which is default).
Oh okay, that is a little more clearer. Guess I should have read it a bit more carefully. I guess..I'll put it in stand by and wait 40 min or so. If it's not DL by then though lol I'll just wait tomorrow. I actually want to use my xbox one tonight.

Just turned my xbox one to instant on after a few round of peggle 2 and it's just updated, huzzah.

Put my console into standby, then folded a load of laundry and brushed my teeth. Went back into the living room and the power brick light was amber, indicating it had shut down. Maybe was a 15-minute time span so the download was super quick.
Booted up, got a small green progress indicator on a solid black screen that took about a minute to complete, then to the all-green Xbox One logo loading screen for about 2-3 minutes before booting to the dash. Easy process.

Put mine in standby a little bit ago and it started to update almost instantly. The power button light on the console starts pulsing every couple seconds when it's downloading, so that's another sign to look for.
Otherwise though, mine updated with no issues. Pretty painless process.

Welp, "Xbox On" worked for me, so obviously the update wasn't downloading for the 30 minutes I had it off.
Think I'm just going to ignore it and just hope it downloads while I sleep tonight.

I got the update. I had it on standby. And it downloaed while it was on standby .after. it downloaded the power brick turned Orange meaning the Xbox is completely off. I turned it on and the green bar comes up showing that it's either loading or installing something...and now on a green Xbox one logo screen. Been there for 4 minutes and counting.

Seriously this.
I got the update just now, turned my console on, saw an initial progress bar indicator and it was moving, figured that was the update itself but I guess that was maybe the download, and now I am just staring at the boot screen.
Ooooh, as soon as I typed "staring" it finished. But it was a good minute of boot screen, if not longer. Any indication whatsoever that it is doing something would be nice.
Walked out and saw power brick was orange, "Xbox On" didn't work so I turned it on and saw the splash screen. No progress bar on the first Xbox One logo, just a green screen, so I can see some people getting confused and turning it off - ruining their console
EDIT: Looks like my flash version is still the same, maybe it was just shut down without me knowing instead of sitting in standby like I assumed.

Yeah pretty much say "Xbox Turn Off" then leave it in standby. Mine initiated the download about 5 min later. The White Xbox Logo on your Xbox One will flash (if it's downloading) and the power brick will turn orange. If you don't see it flashing, but your power brick is Orange, then that means the download is done. Just reboot it, and it will install. Also, don't panic if it hangs a while on the Green Xbox Logo screen.
I did this; power brick is still white after 5 minutes.

You have to let it sit a while like the poster above mentioned. I turned mine off for only 1-2 min and then turned it back on, but after reading the above post, I left it off a bit longer and in about 5 min, I saw the Xbox Light flashing on and off. So it is live, just have to tell it turn off and leave it off for a little bit.
But more important, for those that have the update notice anything different? I know that when Major mentions updates in the past, he does not seem to mention everything, so just wondering if there are some other little things that people are noticing. I am doing some stuff around the house, so have not had time to re-boot the system as of yet.
and should stay white while your Xbox downloads, and as many said, it should also flash sometimes your console logo if downloading.
