When I open the game bar to invite people to a game etc, the chat audio drops in and out like a phone with bad signal. For context, I have a decent PC and this never used to happen, but it just started one day and now it does it every time without fail. Is there a fix for this?

2 weeks ago my weekly pulse was reset. On the bugged week it reset me back to week 2, not 1. I should be on 80 weeks right now but instead i'm on 3. Would this ever even be restored to my account or did i do something wrong? (Except missing a week because i haven't)

At first, my games would take forever to load so I reset with apps to keep. Some games were good to play, but others it didn’t let me play and it said you need to sign in Xbox network but I had Xbox live and Xbox pass core. I took it to a repair shop and they said it’s unrepairable and to contact Xbox support. After I did that, the lady said “by the looks of it, its OS currently showing ahead and not on public build, as the current one is 00.1969.” And also “Have this reported to the Xbox insider team on Reddit and ask them to have your account removed from insider build, please tell them you haven't joined it, as this had caused your OS to bug out.Kindly provide them the current Build and Shell version on it as well.” My OS VERSION is 10.0.26100.2206 and my SHELL VERSION is 2409.0.2408.31001. Please help me.

i am not able to open either of the 3 apps it will just sit there loading for hours and i dont know how to fix it i am also a windows insider tester i just want to talk to my friends while on my PC

Seems I can't add screenshots (the Images & Video option is greyed out), but how am I supposed to submit a new error report when it gets stuck on the errr, New Problem Report screen? (been stuck on it for 30+ mins so far)

So I went to Xbox support subreddit and they told me to come here, I have this visual glitch on my friends list where it shows as a bunch of special characters and Cyrillic letters, I was told that it’s an insider related issue but I’m not and never have been part of the Xbox insider program

Hi all,

This seems a bit of a strange one, whenever I go to play Call of Duty with my friends on PC via Crossplay, the party i'm in via the Xbox PC app suddenly stops working, I can't hear them, they can't hear me. It just.. stops.

I've changed my DNS settings to use Cloudflare (1.1.1.1 / 1.1.1.2) and ensured all updates have been applied but still no joy.

All my other games work fine with it (Fortnite, Minecraft etc etc), it's just Call of Duty. Has anyone experienced this before? Any thoughts on what could be causing it? Any fixes to look at?

• Join your voices together! Try searching for others who have posted the same idea first and upvote theirs instead of posting your own, then feel free to respond to their comment to discuss or refine the idea further.

Rules:

• Requests for additions to backward compatible titles are subject to removal as the program ended in 2021 per the announcement here.

Be sure to check out the Xbox Insider Program Community Update November 2023 to learn more about what we're up to and what the future might look like!

Note: We've received a few questions about this recently, so we want to communicate it here as well. These threads are meant to be a way for the Xbox Insider Community to express their ideas and showcase what features are important to them. However, it is not an exclusive list of work items for the various engineering teams. This means there is no guarantee of implementation for any feature that is upvoted in these threads. The Xbox Insider Team communicates the feedback to the other teams that would be responsible for implementing them, but this is just one lever those teams might utilize to make a decision about where resources are applied. This is not meant to discourage voicing your opinion. We are striving to be more transparent with our processes, and want to reset expectations surrounding Feedback Fridays. Thanks so much for everyone that continues to participate!

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this or not, but i'm in the beta preview so i figured i'd ask here. What's up with the fairly constant crashing in microsoft edge? I mostly just watch youtube videos on it since the ads are way shorter on edge than in the default youtube app (5-20 seconds in browser compared to 5-50+ in the youtube app), but edge sometimes crashes just by going fullscreen or switching tabs. This has happened probably 10 times or more in the last week. I have 6 tabs open, and i usually only use one or two after opening edge (and therfore only 1 or 2 are loaded at one time), but if i try to use any more, either the websites give an out of memory error (youtube mainly, it's happened 2 or 3 times) or the entire app crashes. This even happens when i only use one of the tabs after launching it, if i'm on it for a while and watching multiple different videos. It's like the app isn't clearing the RAM and just crashes when it maxes out. Which makes sense since it tends to get more laggy the longer it's open. I'm not sure if it's the same in the public build or not, but it definetly doesn’t seem right that my console (series X btw), which is easily twice as powerful as my PC, can't handle 10% of the web browsing i can do on my PC, like using 10+ tabs without them refreshing just by clicking another tab like it does on my xbox.

When I was taking a game off quick resume, The “Unpin from quick resume” button was in Cyrillic characters and included “!”’s. Go to r/xbox and filter by new to see what I a, talking about.

I wanted to stream for a private discord

Sometimes while gaming my monitor and television (I tested both) won't recognize the Xbox any more. So I need to select xbox as an input device again, and the console turns of (I disabled the setting that xbox can be controlled from external sources)

10.0.26100.2187 (xb_flt_2409ge.240826-2000)

I would like to buy a hard drive that is fast enough because I get that notification when I try to record even at 720p, I use an SSD of more than 400MB/s with a 3.0 connection (tested with CrystalDiskMark), what would be the minimum speed to be able to record 4K gameplay correctly?

This speed requirement notice is something specific to insider builds.

This is a real question because being able to record gameplay is very important to me (as it is for many content creators of course). If someone has found the answer in the official documentation I would also appreciate it because I have not been able to locate it.

This is now incredibly infuriating, I have seen a rather largely upvoted post covering the same issue but I have to ask as nothing has worked.

So the issue goes as follows, my controller randomly disconnects every few minutes, sometimes up to 20 mins if I’m lucky. It only does this on my pc, works fine on my tv (GeForce now) and also on my phone and Xbox.

What I have tried: Updating controller firmware, Reinstalling Xbox app, Updating Bluetooth drivers, Forgetting Bluetooth device and repairing it, Reset bios, Then updated my bios, I have also tried configuring on the accessories app

None of these things have worked, I want to be able to use my controller wirelessly and not have to rely on a cable like I will have to soon.

Does anyone have this issue and what did you do to fix it?

I've been in Alpha ring for many years. About 10 months ago Prime Video starting loading so slowly that watching videos would time-out and fail. I've gone through all the troubleshooting steps in all the not-helpful search results I've found. It's seems that a LOT of people are having this problem.

EDIT: Not sure it's relevant, but it seemed to be around the same time Amazon started the ads/pay for no ads garbage.

One of the workarounds I've found said to use the Xbox app on your phone, use the remote option of the app, and select the video you want to watch. I tried to set up that feature of the phone app by connecting the app to my console. That process failed.

All of this got me thinking about whether being in the Alpha ring creates a mismatch between the OS version I'm using and the software I'm trying to run.

At this point, the only way I can watch prime video on something bigger than a laptop screen is to use the Prime app on my Samsung TV and circumvent my series X completely.

Has anyone in this community of more knowledgeable folks had any experience with this and if so did you find a way to fix it? Am I on to something with the mismatch idea?

(Just for thoroughness, I've done reinstalls, wired and wifi, reboots, all my other streaming apps work just fine, and prime works fine in my phone/laptop/ps5)
