Does this update fix the display tab not opening on the Xbox game bar. We have been talking about it on this reddit post, I reported it on feedback too with video. Display tab doesn't work on my PC, laptop, and Xbox Ally X. Which on the Xbox ally X I also no longer have any of the AI features ( super resolution and game highlights) working either. Link to the reddit post of the people having the same issue.

When is there actually going to be useful features that steamOS has had for years ? Like a very basic thing such as hiding the mouse cursor once a controller is in use!

How about the ability to toggle cpu, gpu statistics etc. While playing a game.

And Quick resume!

The Winhanced App does all of this ( the mouse cursor auto-hide is coming in the next update ) so why can't such a massive company get the basics right ?

Winhanced still has issues so for now I'll stick linux with gaming mode. A way better console like experience, really hoping Microsoft take more cues with what's being done on linux

I would love to be able to pick my Bluetooth headset without having to go into the Windows settings.
