Settings App Functions

The Xbox One Settings App represents a primary avenue for consumers to adjust their console’s global configuration settings. For title developers and testers, while some functionality is replicated by command-line PC console commands, in general this same app is used for development kit configuration. The following table captures developer-relevant functionality, as well as avenues for querying configuration data as set by the end user.
