  1. New “Happening Now” Tab is Terrible


    This new tab is atrociously bad. Not only does it now cover half of the screen, but it also removes the clock off of the screen as well. The “Happening Now” tab was something I barely even used before, which was perfectly fine since it was behind a clickable button instead of an unavoidable tab. This new layout looks hideous and covers way too much of the screen and I sincerely hope Microsoft reverts this change because it looks horrendous.

    not working

    Now when you click Ambassabank, does it not open at all? That just happened to me right now.

    I had to hover over the Ambassabank link and open in new tab for it to open up.

    Or does it give you a prompt saying you need Silverlight?

    Hey Michael! What is happening is, it sounds like your Edge is starting on the most recently-opened tab. Often, on a site which probably would give a virus on the computer itself (one of those that pop open a specific window and refuse to close, or tell
    you to click something to get rid of a virus but it turns out to be a virus itself) these will open the tab, and then when closing Edge, the next time you open it, that same tab is already there.

    There are a couple of things you can do. Try opening your browser on your Xbox, then on your controller, press the "view" button (this looks like two interlocking squares to the left of the Xbox Logo.) This will open the "new tab" and "address bar" window.
    From here you should be able to close existing tabs by highlighting the tab you wish to close, pressing menu, and choosing "Close Tab. Then you will start fresh with a new tab.

    If that doesn't work, you can also search for any item in the game store, then scroll all the way to the right and choose "Web Results." This will force Edge to re-open on a new tab showing Bing Search results, and the "bad" tab will be in the background.
    Now you SHOULD be able to use the "view button method" listed above to close the offending tabs.

    Oh, and don't worry about Viruses - that won't happen with Xbox One, so no virus-scan program is required.

    Let me know!
