Title: Why is the Xbox One UI still an absolute mess?
Reason: The user was warned for this post. The OP hasn't said a word about XMB. Don't create strawmen to dismiss valid points made by a fellow user. Argue in good faith.
If you have trouble like it stalling out and then jumping around, do a hard reset. Hold the power button in for 10 seconds or so, then unplug it for 15-30 seconds, plug it back in and go through the longer reboot. The rest of it is either wrong, like the capture stuff, or just being unfamiliar with it. There's really no 'problem' with the UI - it's just different from the PS4, which seems like a real problem for people who are used to it. It's a different piece of hardware, it has a different UI...adjust to it. I swear to Christ some of you must get in your car and just scream 'WHY ISN'T THIS A CROSSBAR UI? WTF!!!!' Click down once and hit A - you're in the dedicated games and apps section. How is that not focused enough? The last game/app you used will be highlighted when you start, with a giant splash screen of it on the screen.
