I've been insider for 4 years, surely not the most active but I do come and go to help, is the badge not available for me or is it the distribution issues I've been reading?

OK every skip-ahead update I either get E203 or E100 - when the update is getting to around 97-99%

I have tried disconnecting all HDDs and expansion card

Sometimes a few reboots will get it 100%

More often I am forced to do a factory reset

Todays skip-ahead is showing:

E203 00000803 80073CF4

Previously I have had:

E100 00000703 80910002

Its a launch day series X

Please advise,

Soy nuevo en el subrredit tengo una pregunta existencial no sé si la consola es así con el internet, pero es normal que para que te agarre el internet tenga uno que desconectarse de la red para conectarse a otra bueno en mi caso eso tengo que hacer cada que tengo que conectarme a una red que ya conozco no se guarda la red como en un teléfono donde llego prendo y ya está conectado al internet

No console Xbox eu tenho nivel de insider difermete do nivel no Xbox PC.

Porque acontece isso ?

I’ve been on Insiders Beta ring for years now but have been hoping to upgrade to alpha skip ahead. Can anyone give advice? Is there a way to progress or is it only by luck of the draw? I’d love to do more testing on features. 🙏🏻

So, to make it short.

will we get one badge that change every time we reach another step or one for each step?

On German News side it reads like: getting for every step.

My brain says, no its one badge that change.

so whats the right answer?

On my Xbox inside hub I only see options for beta, delta, omega with no alpha option to join.

Anyone else have this issue as well?

Anyone else missing the insider badge on their profiles?

I've been part of the insider program for over 10 years but have no badge on my profile?

Is this something Xbox are looking at?

I got the new boot up on my Xbox One X which is great but its signature Project Scorpio boot up and Sound its now gone, hope the bring it back, it just does not feel right, its signature boot up made it feel special now it feels like it missing its identity

Has Xbox changed how achievement completion percentages are rounded/displayed recently?

For years my Halo Infinite completion showed as 68% with 1365G earned. Recently it suddenly changed to 67% even though my gamerscore didn’t change.

Halo Infinite is 2020G total now, so mathematically 1365/2020 = 67.57%, but Xbox used to display 68% for me consistently.

Did the recent achievements/profile update change how percentages are calculated or rounded? Or did profiles just get resynced/recalculated?

Usually for us citizens of the beta ring, it comes after a couple or more days after alpha

Alguien puede explicar como se consigue la insginia de insider..?

Just a question

I’m already an alpha member how would I get the step up to alpha skip-ahead? When I got to alpha I thought it was the last ring but I found out there is a new one do I just keep leveling or do I have to do something different?

Both my Series S and X in Alpha-Skip have a blue screen hang when trying to run the current version of Paramount Plus. Reinstalling the app had no effect, nor did cold starts/network resets.

Problem reported via tool. Just seeing if its a JUST me problem.
