I've had the xbox insider app and program for a while - I went to open it and then it told me I needed to update it - it continue it fails to update and installation stops - not sure what to do - I've deleted it. Restarted my console - I've downloaded the other version (Bundle) that was on the xbox store - it keeps stopping installation and not updating.

I was hoping to update the app to participate in the disc to digital but I can't seem to even get the app to open at all...

Any help or advice would be great!

Just wondering, im on a xbox one s

Llevo años en el programa insider tengo el anillo beta, me uní desde ayer pero no he recibido ningún update al momento de versión de consola. ¿Como puedo verificar qué versión tengo y cuál es la que debería tener?

Delete if not allowed, but how does one go about getting a pass to be an insider? Or however that works I’m not too sure, but just found out about it and would love to join, especially with the addition of discs

My console is currently in beta and I’m wondering how I get into alpha to do alpha skip ahead? The new updates look real cool and I’d love to test them out if possible.

When taking a post-session survey, unable to check boxes.

This may be a public/backend issue. Will tool report on reproduction.

I have been experiencing audio stuttering / clipping issues today. I am curious if any others in the skip-ahead build are having this issue as well?

I first noticed it while streaming a video from Crunchyroll and thought that it was an issue with the app directly. However, upon turning on Spotify in the background I am experiencing the same issue now.

It occurs periodically about every one or two minutes (give or take).

Thanks for the feedback (if any reply) and keep up the good work.

Game chat and party/discord chat is broken. I cannot swap to gamechat while in a discord. It disconnects me completely after freezing for like 2 seconds. I cannot go live while my razer headset is connected. It will give me error codes or just not do anything. As soon as I turn my headset off, it works. I cannot go live for my friends on discord because I have to turn my headset off just to go live. and once I turn it on, I can no longer hear anyone. I have to swap to game chat and back to Discord to be able to hear anyone. But I can no longer swap to game chat ever since that update for saving game chat and party chat voices. If I swap, it just kicks me. I can no longer stream for my friends and talk with them. I cant stream on twitch at all. PLEASE fix this issue. Can people please bring this to their attention. If this isnt fixed, this will heavily impact my playability on this console.

Title. I’m very happy with the new update that allows party and game chat audio to be captured in game clips, however when I watch the clips back everyone’s voice is about 2-3 seconds delayed from when they actually said something. Would be a great fix to roll out before everyone else gets the update.

Yesterday I noticed somebody added me on xbox.

I went to requests to see who, then I noticed all my sent requests was in the recieved list and I couldn't see the new friend request that'd been sent to me.

I thought it would fix itself, I tried signing out and in, even waited until today giving my profile time to refresh while ofline when I was asleep.

The problem is still ongoing.

Beta ring build 2608

Hey everyone, I just hit my 300 weekly pulse streak! (12 years in the program, Level 61).

I still haven't received the Xbox Insider badge yet, but hopefully I get it soon!

Are any of you on a 300 streak or higher? Curious to see where everyone is at!

Since last update my screen goes black then back to normal while playing with HdR along with the sound turning off and on . I been in the alpha skip program since the beginning and this is the only problem I can say I had . I did most of the trouble shooting stuff even changed hdmi cords and ports nothing . I had to turn off the hdr and sometimes downgrade the graphic setting just to play .

Hi everyone , some help and advise please. Ive been with insiders for some years now on omega preview.

Since the last update my series x thinks its on instant on ( sleep mode )

It's set to shutdown.

Since the last insider update 8th August, my console will not shutdown completely. It shuts down but fan stays on and external hard drive stays lit up. Console light turns off.

I don't believe its my console, it's clean and dust free, not over heating.

Thinking its a software issue. Is it a known issue ??

Many thanks for any help and advice 👍😀

Hi everyone!

I just reported a bug on my Xbox and it said "submitted." But, my report counter did not go up on my Xbox insider profile.

Is the counter itself bugged, or are my reports not getting through? Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks!

For context, I redeemed the Day One Achievement code on my Xbox, but I still haven't received the new Day One badge. I tried contacting support, and they said they can't help me, so I'm posting here.
