New or updated features

  • Minor performance improvements

 

-----

 

Got this through this morning and wondered what others thought of it?

Ive not a huge amount of time play with it, but so far I'm definitely liking the 'Guide' and the 'OneGuide' is far more TV guide like than before, the picture in picture is a pretty nice tough so you an still see what's on the TV while brown the guide.

i was worried TV and entertainment may take a back seat but thankfully it doesn't appear so, with a whole home tab dedicated to it.

Having played with it for a few hours now (ooer), there's a hell of a lot of bugs to be squashed and issues to sort. Not that it bothers me (after all i signed up to test!) .

Currently having an issue connecting to "Services" so even though i can play games online, everything else on the box is missing. No store, no suggestions, most pages on the dash are now blank, no settings actually change if you try to change them and... most importantly, i can't access the preview app to actually report these things :p

It's also currently quite sluggish compared to the older UI, which i'm aware other people thought was slow, but i never did.
Have done a hard refresh, nothing sorted it, so i'll come back to it later, give it another refresh and see if that makes a difference.

All the bugs in the first release of this is why I didn't opt in right away.  I think I'll just wait for it to go final and get it with everyone else that way, no real rush.

Yeah exactly, no real rush. Apart from what i've mentioned, ad the list provided by MS (many of which don't affect me) the box is responding nicely and the experience is pretty good. Really liking the new TV Guide too.

I got this today too, have tried a few games and they work fine, Elite Dangerous and COD Advance.

Problems

Does anyone else have a problem using the built in Media Player, i can't get it to list most of my content from a TMS media server and it fails to play any MKV content without a terrible stutter?

Not tried the media player just yet, I'll give t a go tonight.

apart from that, not really encountered any other issues, the whole everything blank on sign in, rectified itself.

Please let me know if you manage to load the media player past the first screen to where the folders are ( i cant do this anymore) and whether you can play MKV media, this is on an TMS media server via wireless, if i play MKV via a USB stick they play fine. :)

Haven't gotten the prompt yet "EnrollChangePending" still for me.

When you get the update you will find out when you turn the console on it is about 1134MB in size and takes a while.

Some of it does feel a little sluggish which is expected but it is my media player TMS server issue that is bugging me more than anything.

After messing with the tms share folders on the media server( not really sure what i did) i now get access to the bottom 3 folders in media player on the x1 and see my movie files.

I now have a situation where only SOME of the MKVs play fine the others are slow and choppy, all played fine before on the old xbox os, so i can only hope they fix that.

I'm betting the media player/music player both get updated later once the new dash is done, heck we should finally be able to get music playback in the background like we had on the 360 I expect.

I'll bet you're probably right.

Only issue that's bothering me is when it shows the TV app, my audio takes a while to start or the audio is all echo-y. And signing in takes a while.

Same here, restarting the app usually fixes it. Have reported it.

Hopefully as my affected MKVs that play with an unwatchable stutter when using my wireless TMS Mybook server play just fine when put on a USB stick and played through the same Media Player and they worked just fine on the old OS.

I've fiddled with the new Xbox Dash last night.

1). For me everything thing is snappy (which I love), but at times it seems overly sensitive (dash is very jumpy)

2). Snapping friends i notices some cut off in the text.

3). Some games didn't work initially (NBA2K16, Halo:MCC, CoD:AW), but a hard reset seems to have fixed this issue

4). My games and apps are all on and 4TB WD External Drive, and it's about a 5sec delay from when the games/apps will pop up (for me at least)

5). Kinect moves with a bit more speed. (but on some of the pages, "Next Page" command is missing, so Kinect doesn't understand the command)

Just an update on my MKV stutter issue.

When this happens all I have to do is fast forward approx 30 seconds and all plays normally again, I have bug reported on the dash.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Case_f · Posted

      My problem with these smart scopes is that IMO they're not really an entrance into astronomy, they're an entrance to looking at pretty(ish) pictures that you take by essentially pressing a button and letting the scope do the work. I still maintain that getting some binoculars or a solid dedicated telescope (which doesn't have to mean expensive) and actually spending time learning the night sky and using a telescope is a much better way to actually learn. But, granted, the learning curve is a bit steeper (as it tends to be).

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By Legend20 · Posted

      The perception of Microsoft Edge is unfortunate as it's a world class browser. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best browser I've ever used with its feature set, speed, reliability and advanced security. Running the extension Ublock Origin is a must though to deal with advertising and trackers.
