I'm not sure but my Xbox One wouldn't start up from auto start today so I had to physically switch it on. I assume this might be because it had a big update overnight.
Weird thing is, mine is set to Instant On and to update whilst 'off' but it didn't download the update until I switched it on yesterday afternoon... :/

For the past week or so they seem to have been releasing updates on an almost daily basis.

In preparation for the new UI on Thursday I reckon.

I noticed that but they've only been 300-500MB in those cases. Sunday's update tied in with what I'd heard the final version would be, size wise anyway.

We normally have the final release before the global launch in other previews so it might be the same for this. I guess they would want to know if there are problems with the final build.

Cool, I thought that might be it but expected some kind of announcement about it in the news section of the preview app...

annoying they haven't returned the feature to hide demos and beta's from your install list, I don't get why they removed it, i also noticed all my 0% games have showed up on my game list

Well... that's why we're in the preview program. To report bugs and stuff like this when it happens. If you don't like it, why be in the preview program?

Same thing happened to me yesterday, I left it off for a few hours and Tomb Raider synced.

I've said this before, game saves should be kept on the hdd, so when sync issues do occur it's not a problem. Suprised this hasn't being brought to MS attention, unless they know best.

Yup, I Googled the issue and there are fixes all over the internet. Essentially this:
No need to disable instant sign in, just make sure once you've restarted the Xbox you then sign out (if you have instant sign in) before you go back online.

Go to settings, then network and go to offline mode
Restart console via snap menu
Sign out of any profiles (if instant sign-in is on)
Go to settings, then network and go back to online mode
Open a game
Let the game force you to sign in to your profile
Should be all fixed, enjoy

Not in my case it didn't. But the above fix worked.

Anyone else having any issues since the Saturday update? I now can't launch any games or apps - screen just flickers for about 5 minutes before I get the "something went wrong" message. Tried had resetting, restarting in safe mode etc, nothing works.

Mine works fine since the latest update BUT I now get weird artefacts around certain letters/numbers on screen. It just looks a bit messy.

Heard back from a mate as well and his is working fine too. No idea what's caused this. Now engaged with MS's snail-paced support. There's a slim chance I'll be back on this side of Christmas!

• Re-arrange Pins on Home and access them offline: Many of you have told us that you want Pins on your Xbox One Home to be easier to organize. In Preview, you will now be able to rearrange individual pins. We also made Pins accessible for launching when you are offline.


Arranging pins and removing games from your ready to install list are both welcome. Need a x360 store next.

Pins part I'm not too fussed about, but I did miss the ability to remove games from the install list. Especially if you do game testing.

Saw this in the xbox preview forums, nice and easy. The small things really do make a big difference

Shocked at how little games major has though

I didn't think I would be fussed about moving pins, but watching the vid and how easy it is, has made me think I need to tidy mine up

apparently this went live today, I did check for updates but none to download. Away to check if it installed on my gaming breaks

DETAILS

OS version released: th2_xb_rel_1602.160125-1900
Available: 6:00PM PST 1/28 (2:00AM GMT 29/1)


New Features:

• Move Pins
You can now move and reorganize pins on your Xbox One dashboard. To do this, highlight a pin and press the Y button, or, highlight a pin and press the Menu button, then select Move from the app menu.

You'll also find a new Quest in the Preview Dashboard app titled "Move Pins Around!"

• Gamerscore Leaderboard
The Gamerscore leaderboard is back! To access the Gamerscore leaderboard, launch the Quick Guide (navigate left on the dashboard or double press the Xbox button), highlight your signed in profile, select My profile from the dropdown, and navigate to the Achievements tab.

• Sports in OneGuide
OneGuide now has its own dedicated Sports area! Sports is consistently one of the most watched type of programming on Xbox One.Consistent with our goal with OneGuide of enabling you to spend less time searching and more time watching, we’ve created a single destination for you to browse Sports video content. Dive into live sports events and programming from both apps and your cable or set-top box provider in the Watch Now and Trending on Live TV sections. View the latest sports clips and highlights from our partners through App Channels.

You'll also find a new Quest in the Preview Dashboard app titled "OneGuide Sports".


Fixes:

• Blu Ray Discs and DVDs Recognized as Audio CDs
When inserting a Blu Ray disc or DVD, the console should no longer incorrectly recognize it as an audio CD.


Known Issues:

• Game Updates
You may encounter an issue in which game updates start at a high percentage (99-100%) and linger at that percentage for a long time. Unless the game tile displays an error message, the update is being successfully applied, but the progress bar is displaying a higher value than it should.

If you encounter this issue please submit feedback by holding down the Xbox button on the controller and selecting Report a problem from the power menu.
