    Wish I could say the same, still not working here and doubt it will get fixed before New Years at this rate.

    Since last night I am now experiencing problems with my external hard drive as well.

    Literally done what looks like every tech support steps on the Xbox end of things with resets and whatever else.

    I believe I've done everything on the drive's end as well by plugging it into my laptop, formatting and everything else in disk management and nothing.

    Some observations I've made is it will be read if I pop in another external hard drive that I usually use for videos and such, it will make the one that's usually used for games and apps appear as a media player as well. Also noticed the usual features in
    games and apps to move and copy items no longer appear while uninstall remains.

    Mine hasn't worked since July!!! Been waiting patiently for a fix as I've done every possible steps and even bought a slim to see if it fixed it bc ms told me my console was at fault! Nothing worked! My computer reads it just fine so the hdd is working completely
    as intended, and ms has kept super silent about this bc their update is what caused this!

  6. Same. Hasn't worked in 3 months and Microsoft won't update mine or other members posts with so much as a "we're still working it, sorry for being incompetent". Now, I can't even get a game to install to the internal hard drive. System is a joke, 360 worked
    a hell of a lot better after the red light of death was addressed.

    The problem now CelticJarhead, is that during the 360 age, they cared. Now it is all about being first and pushing out new features and not patching things when they need to be fixed. I have seen about 15 preview program patches sine this issue has started
    (Summer update of hell) but only a handful of proper patched for us none-preview folks. Plus the ones we do get just say "general maintenance" in the patch notes. I don't see this issue being fixed before the end of the year.

    At this rate, you are probably right. At the very least they could update the forums indicating the issue is still being worked. The update was a mess and Cortana is a joke. Voice commands work better with the default setup, getting Cortana to go to a game
    instead of coming up with some off the wall crap to bing was like pulling teeth. As you said though, they cared for the prior generation better it seems. Some of these updates have been as annoying as what Apple does with their software.

    External Hard Drive not working after update.

    I have the exact same problem. My external hard drive wont work after the august summer update. at first when i plugged it in. it asked if i wanted to use it for games and apps or as a usb storage device for movies, images and music. i choose the latter
    ofc but then nothing happened. cant find the drive on settings when i go in the media player app it just says that it cant find any device. ive also tried all the troubleshooting guides with hard resetting the console, plugging in n out the drive. and YES.
    the hard rive works just fine on my computer and DID work fine on my xbox one prior to this update.
