Whyyyyy??????

Stick the console in insta on and then never get troubled by updates again, and before any tree huggers start wailing the extra power usage is not noticeable in the slightest and doesn't even register on the energy bill to any noticeable degree...

I started getting annoyed with updates so I left it in instant on. Now I never see them. But Op, you could always opt out of the preview program. I think that would be the only reason you'd get so many updates.

What is it its people being terrified of their consoles all f a sudden?? I don't experience any of those issues.....

Shhh Genchy, Me, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs have inserted a code into the last update. On midnight Feb 29, the console will eat your brains. Thus bring on the zombie freedom movement.

lol

Ok to op, changes happen all the time. So some people are not going to be happy with any version of the dashboard.

how can they add the new features to the dashboard if the don't change the dashboard to show the new features?

I'm almost 10,000 percent sure it isn't a "preview program issue." People who didn't even get the invite for the preview program have the same exact issues as me. Just sounds like some typical lazy xbox trouble shoots. Like, maybe I should just hard start
my xbox.

Saddly updates is just modern gaming now, it's the same on the other console too, everytime I go to do anything on the ps4 there's an update, but thankfully the XB1 will download any updates when you have instant on mode on. I do get other problems, but
not enough to annoy me.

Are you in the preview program?

It does seem to have preview program 'symptoms'...

I'd like to make a point about the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" statement that seems to happen regularly enough.

Prior to the new dash update, there were plenty of threads in here, complaining about how "broken" the old UI was, stating certain issues as examples.

After the new dash released, well... again there were plenty of threads in here complaining about how "broken" the new UI is, stating certain issues.

In both instances, each dash had plenty of other people whom it worked for, they didn't experience those issues and they had no complaints.

Draw that to it's logical conclusion and it seems obvious that... Updates don't always fix what's broken. Updates don't always break what's working. Updates don't always work the
way they should. Sometimes an update will fix a problem some are having and actually cause it for some who weren't having it. Such is life when it comes to software/UI, where "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" just doesn't fit the environment.
