Update is coming at 5PM PT, or 8PM ET, on the 10th of December, which is today.
[quote]A. If you are using the Xbox One “Instant On” (the low power state that allows you to instantly power up your console by saying “Xbox On”), your console automatically checks for updates when you turn it off. Once we make the update available (on Tuesday, December 10th, 5:00 PM PT) this means the following will happen:
Your console will automatically download the update after you turn it off. Once the update has been downloaded in the background, your console will power completely down. Please note: You will need to manually power your console back on after the update has been downloaded. Because the update will power your console completely down, the “Xbox On” voice command won’t be available until after the update is fully installed.
When you turn the console on you’ll see the update being applied. After that, your Xbox One will reboot. You’ll know the update is installing when you see the Xbox logo on the green background (like at the top of this post.) This can take anywhere from 2-5 minutes. Once the update has finished installing, you’ll boot to the Home screen and you’re all set.
Don’t worry, if you are out of town for the holidays, you console also does regular checks for updates and will download it in the background even if you have not used you Xbox One in a couple of days.
B. If you are not using the Xbox One “Instant On” feature, you will be required to download and apply this update after Thursday, December 12th at 2:00 AM PT.
This update addresses the following:
Addresses SmartGlass issues for some users when coming in and out of connected standby
Addresses multiplayer issues for some users when re-joining games
Addresses issues with inconsistent notifications for some users
Addresses dashboard performance for some users
Offers improvements for Xbox One’s TV, system update, and content update services for scaling over time
Updated wireless networking driver to improve connectivity issues for some users
We’ve got quite a few updates planned for the next year based on the community feedback we’ve been seeing, and I’ll have details on those in the future.
Thanks and I’ll see you online.[/quote]
Still not coming close to what they're supposed to be implementing, such as being able to view HDD in settings, controller battery level, better chat and snap, PC streaming, and much more. However, it's not bad that they can launch updates like this, this quickly.
Hopefully we'll see all that good stuff in January.

All I want is to be able to View and Manage my HDD. That's. All. I. Want.
-
I hope they bring back family sharing in a future update, I thought that was a cool idea.
-
Can I finally see my recent players, then?
-
Can I ask a stupid question. Is there a setting that allows the "xbox on" command, mine doesnt seem to work.
-
looks like the PC architecture pays off for updating.
-
At least they're moving in the right direction, hoping for more of the bigger problems to be addressed in the next up date.

You know, there's a whole forum for this called #Gaming right? [spoiler]#Gayming[/spoiler]
