The one that is of immediate use to me is improved updating and downloading from store. That has been a disaster for me so far. I still do not know if I want to risk buying Forza from them or get the DX11 version from steam....

This new update is taking FOREVER to download.

Quantum break is the one with a steam version,no info on if any other game will ever get the same treatment.

Finally all of my machines below upgraded. Seemed like they were stuck on 79% download forever.

I wasn't expecting this one, but I think MS said they'll be doing these toward the end of the month in addition to regular patch tuesday.

Thanks. Went to look for it and was thinking where the heck is it? Saw this reply and went derp! Certainly solved my dilemma on where to buy it. I have no interest in QB until it is under $20. I will see how the Gears 4 launch goes, before giving them any money.

I only allow updates from MS and other PCs on my network, and had no issues with it.

This update fixed an issue I was having with ie 11 and flash enabled websites. My entire browser window would begin flashing uncontrollably and closing it and opening another one didn't always clear the behavior.
