Microsoft have confirmed that they're working on a new firmware update for the Xbox One controller, which will feature a number of benefits.
As well as "stability" improvements, the new firmware will enable your controller to power up and connect to your Xbox One in less than half the time (2 seconds) than it does right now (around 5 seconds.)
Firmware Version 1.2.2236.0 - as it is so adorably called - is rolling out to members of the Xbox Preview Program right now, and will roll out to everyone once it's been confirmed that it doesn't cause house flies to suddenly turn into world-destroying super beasts.
Or, you know...cause the Xbox One to crash.

That sounds nice. I'd figure the process would be faster, I'm surprised they didn't slim it down sooner.
i didn't mind the wait of 5 seconds before. now its down to 2 seconds. great job.
Pretty neat that Microsoft can improve stuff like this. Controller improvements are something I never thought could happen this gen.
That's actually one thing I disliked about it, that it takes rather long before the controller reacts to button input after powering it up. Great they are improving such stuff.
