    Magnifier not working in games after update


    After some recent update, presumably, my Magnifier app does not work in any game I try. Works on the main menu system, but if I try to use Magnifier inside any game I launch, it either goes blank or flickers gibberish. My os version is 10.0.2.22624.1814. This is a new behavior, as I've used the Magnifier an all Xbox games and apps for years. (Legally blind, need to.) Any suggestions?

    :)

    Game stops installing at 12.5%

    After downloading the application, go to the magnifying glass (search), after that, go to the games option, and search for the game, if the Star Wars Battlefront 2 you want to install is from the Xbox Classic, it will not work.

    Xbox One Update Feedback

    Before the March update I was able to take screenshots and record video while zoomed in using the Magnifier Tool. After the March update I can no longer do this. Also, the basic function itself is hard to use. It switches from magnifier to game without consent.
    I would like to see this issue resolved seeing how I used this function often and now I can't use it at all.
