Table of Content
Remember not everyone goes, or even knows to go to, the store tab, so there needs to be something to get traffic there. Hell, even I only go there based on an ad. I think for this reason these ads will never disappear completely. I don't however need a freaking controller ad. Save that crap for the store page, and DON'T YOU DARE give me a third party ad unless there is some kind of contest tie in.
This ensures your important blocks are at the top while less frequently accessed blocks are at the bottom. I've gotten used to the ui as it is now and looking back, favor it a lot. I practically live in that left side menu. I rarely have to go to the home screen for anything, reminds me of the 360 mini guide. Its far easier for me to get to things I need on a typical day then the original ui.
Adding content blocks on Xbox One
Alternatively, the dark theme still utilizes blacks and dark grays, which can be easier on the eyes once the sun sets. Here's how to switch between light and dark themes on Xbox One. After setting a custom color, the transparency of Home menu elements can also be changed.
Despite the fact that the company's next console, Project Scarlett, is coming out in Holiday 2020, that hasn't stopped the team from working on the Xbox One. When reached for comment regarding the black screen of death’s second coming, a Microsoft rep didn’t immediately have anything to add. Set up new game alerts, explore the Xbox Game Pass catalog, and download games to your console or PC anytime, anywhere. Refreshing features on any piece of hardware is an excellent way to troubleshoot common issues or problems you may be experiencing. The changes to Cortana sound dumb and just add an additional hoop to jump through to use her instead of just talking into your headset.

An artistic recreation of what the “black screen of death” might look like. Rebuilt from the ground up, the Store on Xbox is twice as fast, safer, and easier to use.

XBOX one being a version of Windows I would expect no less than that... This adjusts the bottom panel covering the lower half of Home, housing recent games and apps. Expanding on your dashboard's mood, Xbox One also allows custom accent colors for use across the console. Reflected system-wide between menus, your chosen color adds an additional flair to the standard UI. On the Home menu, these custom colors dictate the styling of certain tiles and elements.
How to Refresh Your Xbox Home Screen and Fix Dashboard Issues
They totally fed the ball on this one. If I wanted an assistant on my xbox it should have been able to do things to make my life on xbox better. While I did disagree with your initial complaints about the previous update and the ads, I do have to agree that three of them is excessive. I do like having a store link right on the front screen so I can know the current sale special or the free games, but do we need 3 of them? I think there is a balance that almost NEEDS to be there.

The Xbox One's February update should be live, and free to download, now. Alongside these home interface and UI adjustments, the updates also rolls out some quality-of-life changes. These desktop background images contain the intellectual property of Microsoft and other third parties.
And if someone has those services then what was an advertisement is now a link to Game Pass games to download, or Games with Gold respectively. “Black screen of death” is at least a fitting term, though, seeing as it describes the problem to the letter. Players who’ve run into it turn their Xbox One consoles on, only to see a completely blank screen. The timeless trick of “turning it off and turning it back on again” doesn’t seem to do anything.
All that being said, I do like the new layout. If we can push that discover section down, that would make it even better. The place where those ads are should be used to display your pins for example. You know, quick access to some games or apps you want. Instead you have the recents on top and then pointless ads. And if you want to access your catalog, you have to go dive into a sub-folder away from your home screen.
I’m gonna assume this is a hard drive issue. It could be hard drive startin to show some about to break symptoms but it’s a wild guess. Some of it could also be the console overheating for some reason but as much a guess as the HD.
S, your console will boot 50% faster. However, periodically refreshing your Home screen, even if you aren't experiencing any issues, can help maintain your Xbox's user interface.
@tomchai Okay so I installed a new hard drive, but it was an old one that I had, so it still had data on it. I just installed it as usual but now I get system error 102. I have tried an offline setup but it still gives the same error.
With options for custom colors, layouts, and shortcuts, it's easy to make your console feel homelier than ever. And with more options soon on the way, we've wrapped up every Home customization option so far – and how to access them. In addition, players can now group games and apps for easier navigation. Labels for trials and demos have also been implemented alongside a new "streamlined settings experience". After adding content blocks to your Home menu, their order can be rearranged to refine accessibility.
Providing fast access to information from the Home menu, these modular sections condense timely updates on your games, friends, and services. Periodically refreshing your Xbox Home can also help update any changes you make to your customization options or Home screen layout. For instance, setting a custom gamerpic for your Xbox profile could update faster by simply refreshing the Home screen. Pins can be made even more convenient when paired with content blocks, granting access to chosen titles directly from the Home menu. When pinned directly below the main Home landing page, this allows "My games & apps" to be bypassed for certain titles. Like any phone or PC, setting a custom background is one of the best ways to add a personal touch to Xbox One.
