    Xbox app's new UI is so new it doesn't even open


    So, apparently the Xbox app now has two versions of itself. The old one works fine. The new one has decided that displaying an actual window is optional.

    After the recent update (2612.1001.23.0), I noticed there's a button in the bottom-left corner to switch between the old and new UI. Sounds great, except:

    - Both versions seem to run as separate instances.

    - The new one somehow became the default for shortcuts, Microsoft Store links, and basically everything else.

    - Whenever I try to open it, absolutely nothing happens. Well, technically something happens: a process starts, and an icon appears in the system tray. That's it. No window, no error, just vibes.

    - Meanwhile, the old UI still works perfectly fine.

    I've tried reinstalling the app, leaving the Insider program, and reinstalling it again. No luck.

    There was even another Xbox app update today (November 11), but that didn't fix anything either.

    So now I have a working Xbox app that Windows doesn't want to open, and a broken Xbox app that Windows insists on opening.

    Has anyone else run into this? Or am I the lucky winner of an Xbox app that exists purely as a background process?

    Why did Microsoft changed the Xbox one home menu? It was somewhat good but no more . . .

    Xbox doesn't update there UI or consoles beey often so I think due to the series x coming out this year they're experimenting with a new UI to go with their new console.

    Xbox 1: Old menu or new menu?

    I love the NEW ui and the New new ui. Games and apps section is great. Small tiles for ready to be installed and the progress bars for Downloads is great.

    Minecraft launcher xbox login ui change?

    I have already updated everything including xbox apps, Also i asked one of my friend on windows 10 to see if he's experiencing this issue and he said no. Is there anyway i could get the new ui? because the new one is so much cleaner.

    Update:The new ui does appears but only on the minecraft bedrock app when i try to sign in but not on the launcher.

    Slow UI and extremely slow loading and navigation

    My xbox one UI is absolutely ridiculous if I open up any app or open a profile or even a simple message it takes. More than 1 minute and sometimes it even crashes. Also when I click on the notifications tab it freezes my xbox and this last up to 3-5 minutes
    long I can no longer have patience with this so called "NextGen console" I'm sorry but I'm about to buy a PS4 if Microsoft doesn't do something about this

    Next gen controller, what are your thoughts?

    New consoles are all about new everything: New UI, new controller, new console. Even though the Xbox One controller is perfect, it'll be exciting to have a new one
