Xbox Insider Alpha Skip Ahead user here

Cruising to my 7th day (today) for week 4. Had the console & pc ×5 completed.

Got home last night after work and the whole thing glitches.

I submitted a report via xbox, can't attach images in this post.

Hello, there is a game coming out soon. Trainz simulator: world tour. And the developers have a beta through the Xbox insider hub / home. I can find it anywhere. Do I have to request it from them to send it to the insider hub or where do I find it?

While you can also find the top requests from all previous weeks in the Xbox Requests Recap, here are the top three Xbox Requests from last week:

• Remove or Increase the RAM limit for UWP developers

I need help, I received a preview of a game that I can't talk about and I managed to play it for 3 hours.

then it disappeared and now I can only download its "pre-order", that is, the pre-download until the official launch happens

Hello! I have the latest build installed on both controllers.

One was purchased from eBay that was used but immaculate condition, and it began doing this about a week after ownership.

The problem lies in the brand new Sky Cipher controller doing the EXACT same thing. I'll be driving on my game, or in a battle, and go to turn either left or right and the stick would fail to register its current position.

After a little bit of random movement of the joystick, it would function correctly again. It being a hardware issue is VERY unlikely, and I believe this problem is lent to the software. Is anybody else having this issue? Or is it just me...

Over the past couple of days my Xbox one has been freezing up on things like the dashboard and basic apps like settings. Opening the guide takes about 2-3 seconds to open or doesn't open at all. In rare cases it opens but nothing appears inside it and I have either wait a good 5 minutes or restart the whole system. When I'm on a discord call people say they can't hear me and their audio will go crackly then back to normal. The slowdowns aren't being cussed my it's HDD, as it's the UI itself not the applications

Network issues also occur, my NAT Type will randomly switch from open to moderate or moderate to open, randomly disconnect or just not work at all. Remote play has also stopped working completely.

These issues only started occuring after updating my software (I'm on preview Delta)

The Internet issues is not my Internet. I have tried all the possible solutions I could find. It's not my Xbox, it's the operating system itself.

This error has at least occurred to me since December, Maybe it hasn't been that common since at least very few people send our "DVR share to One Drive" clips.

My intention is to know if I am the only one, since two updates have been uploaded since January and I have not seen anything mentioned despite the report.

10.0.26100.3339 (xb_fit 2502ge.250122-2200)

Sometimes when I restart the console it won't show up the games I've played on the dashboard or it will take a long time to start. Anyone else having this issue? Is it a known issue?

Why can't I go down on my controller without this happening YouTube Short showing issue anyone else getting this happen?

After last Alpha-Skip Ahead update, Netflix has been dropping frames during playback of Dolby Vision content and seems to be lagging the entire console at the same time. The Guide becomes laggy as the frames drop more and more during playback. Only way to fix this for a little while is to force quit Netflix. The dropped frames resume after approximately 45 min of resuming playback. Has anyone else experienced this? Or is it a display problem? Using a Vizio P65Q9-H1 btw.

I thought it could possibly be a bad hdmi handshake, unplugged all the HDMI cables from the TV, soundbar, the Xbox Series X and gave the Xbox a hard reset. Dropped frames still present after the reset. Maybe a memory leak with the Netflix app? I’m curious if others are having similar issues with Dolby Vision content on Netflix but with different displays.

As usual, a report has been filed through the Report a Problem feature.
