Microsoft is making some changes to Xbox Home Button, Guide, more
The Creators Update is the name of the next major Windows 10 update. Now that Windows 10 and the Xbox One OS are built on the same tech, Xbox users will also be seeing some changes.
Microsoft noted some of the coming changes in a blog post. Starting off with an update to the Guide on Xbox One that will make it faster to complete common tasks.
The Xbox Home Button on the controller will now pull the Guide as an overlay in one press. It will still appear on the left side like it does today. The Guide itself is also getting more features, based on the functions players use the most.
You’ll now be able to start recording game clips and set the length directly from the guide. You’ll also be able to access your previous captures directly from the guide.
The achievement tracking overlay will be updated, as well, as will the Gamerscore, leaderboard, and Cortana’s design. New controls for background music will also be added, to make the feature easier to use.
On the Windows 10 front, the update will bring a new Game Mode to the OS designed to increase performance in games. Windows Insiders will soon be able to test it out, but details are sparse at the moment.
The company did not set a date for when we’ll start seeing these changes.

This sounds like a good idea making it better for gaming in general also double tapping the home button was such a pain most times it would just take me to the dash instead of the guide

dnasty239Steveeeeeee why would they change this though. its been a push of the guide button since 360, i dont get the reasoning for changing it.
its a good change sometime when im in game double pressing home button doesnt work
I think it's better also, some double presses don't even register for me also. Either way works for me!

Sweet. The other day I got probably my best kill in BF4 ever and honestly didn't know how to record it. I was looking forever. Now I found how to do it but it doesn't matter

Good its rubbish atm, hate the UI on my xbox - 360 was always so smooth and fluent, the xbox one is like a cardboard box with an aerial

Accessing my captures straight from the guide will be useful, I hate having to go all the way to my profile. The new recording features sound awesome as well.
