It’s not the most glamourous update, but the new 1806 version makes the experience more stable. One of the biggest fixes is for leaderboards when controller sharing in Mixer. They now work, taking away a huge annoyance. The Home screen is also back to normal, with content in dashboard tabs now loading correctly and Gamertags and Gamerscore aligning perfectly. The recent Groups feature is also getting tweaks, fixing issues with deleting pins, adding items, and rewards app compatibility.
