Xbox One Windows 10 update: THIS hidden feature boosts console speeds

Xbox One has been given a huge new Windows 10 update for autumn.

The update lets you personalise your Home, features an improved Guide, more notifications and a performance boost.

There’s even a hidden speed boost available to owners of the Xbox One with Kinect.

As On MSFT points out, Xbox One no longer asks for further confirmation when you try to turn it off with your voice.

It’s only a small update, but it saves users a few extra seconds, and further proves that Kinect only ever made life more difficult.

It’s also good news for Xbox One X owners, because the new update contains a host of new features to make the transition between consoles even faster.

“There are new options to help save time when moving from one Xbox One to another (including Xbox One X), so you can get back to playing faster,” Microsoft explains.

This includes the ability to transfer games to an external hard drive and plug it straight into the new console.

Other options include the ability to copy games and apps over your home network and download 4K content ahead of time.

But perhaps one of the most useful new features is the ability to filter games to easily discover Xbox One X enhanced titles.

Other new features include a new concept called Blocks, which lets you personalise what’s on your Home screen.

This includes a new Pin button that holds upwards of 40 pins.

It’s also quicker to scroll through the menus thanks to bumper button support.

Elsewhere, Guide now automatically opens the party or broadcast section if that’s where you’re accessing it from, while the Tournaments section provides an insight into the multiplayer competitions you’ve joined.
