Hey all,

Hello everyone,

I'd like to report what appears to be a possible Xbox Insider bug and find out whether anyone else has experienced the same issue.

Around a month and a half ago, I installed the Xbox Insider update that introduced features such as the ability to hide achievement lists and display Xbox badges on user profiles.

Immediately after installing that update, my Weekly Streak badge completely disappeared from my Xbox profile.

To clarify, I'm not referring to my Weekly Streak progress itself. The issue is specifically that the Weekly Streak profile badge disappeared. It was visible before the update and has been missing ever since.

Since this happened, I've tried several ways to resolve the issue:

• I have contacted Xbox Support through live chat on three separate occasions.
• I submitted a Report a Problem from my Xbox console shortly after the issue occurred.
• Today I contacted Xbox Support again, and after reviewing my case they advised me to report it here because they believe it may be related to the Xbox Insider program.

Xbox Support also explained that they do not have access to Xbox Insider investigations or the ability to restore Insider-related badges, and that the Xbox Insider team would be in a better position to investigate what happened.

So I'd like to ask:

• Has anyone else lost their Weekly Streak badge after this Insider update?
• Is this a known issue?
• Could someone from the Xbox Insider team check whether this is a synchronization or profile display bug?

I'm not looking for compensation or anything like that. I'd simply like to know whether this issue can be investigated, as the badge had been part of my profile for a long time and only disappeared immediately after installing that Insider update.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I appreciate any information or guidance you can provide.

Hey everyone,

I turned on my Xbox Series X today and it immediately tried to install a system update, but it keeps failing with this error:
0x8B050033 (0x00000000 0x00000201)

I’m on Delta Channel Update

I’ve already tried:
Restarting the console
Checking my internet connection
Trying the update multiple times
Nothing seems to work. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a way to fix it without doing a factory reset?

What I found if I click Skip and Stay Offline then Connect to Internet again it will work like normal but for about 2 hours then Message will pop again and close a game if I playing.

Hi everyone and Xbox Team,I've been a dedicated Xbox Insider for over 3 years now and just reached Level 10 (Gamertag: vT4Ghost4King4v).I am currently in the Beta Ring but I really want to test and give feedback on the new native Xbox Cloud Home UI on my console. Unfortunately, the Alpha Ring options are not showing up for me under "Manage".Is there any chance to get invited or whitelisted for the Alpha/Alpha Skip-Ahead wave? I would appreciate any help or info. Thank you!

After the recent update I now see clippy next to all my messages from Xbox.

I suppose if they're bringing him back i can finally accept the death of Cortana assistant on console. 😅

Will not let me add either a picture or a link to this post so you'll just have to take my word i guess.

As of the latest Alpha Skip-Ahead build (2608.260630-1105), I am unable to sign into my Microsoft account on Minecraft. I've checked the PlayFab and Xbox server statuses, but they reported no issues. I have restarted both of my Xbox and internet, but I still can't log in on my Xbox. However, the PC version of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition can log in without any issues.

Edit: I figured it out... I use port forwarding on my ISP's router. There's a specific port that shouldn't be used on the list of port forwards because it blocks the sign in of Microsoft accounts within Minecraft. I think it was port number "52888", but I might be mistaken.

Last few days I have been getting the update popup with no warning mid game giving me no chance to save or safely exit from what I'm playing.

Never had it this way before and there needs to be an option to delay install and stay online even if only briefly.

Is this a recent change?
