As explained in our news post on the website, https://kodi.tv/article/kodi-xbox-one, the UWP version of Kodi is built upon the current alpha development version for Kodi v18 Leia and so will have some rough edges, also as a new platform the UWP alpha builds are initially likely to be more buggy than the alpha versions available for the other platforms.

Features that can't be implemented

1. XBOX optical drive - API access is restricted to only Microsoft's own apps
   
2. Passthrough audio not working - Not supported by Microsoft for 3rd party apps
   
3. Playback of VIDEO_TS folders due to UWP limitation. Only ISO playback is supported so you need to convert VIDEO_TS into an ISO file
   
4. Python _subprocess module is not available on UWP (for current implementation), so an author of the add-on must work around or not use it for UWP
   
5. NFO / XML will probably not be read by our scraper from attached storage devices
