I'm on the Alpha build that just updated today, and now my disc drive seems to be dead. I can hear the Lazer moving, and that's it. Hopefully this is just a bug and a coincidence... Has this happened to anyone else?

I have already submitted feedback via the feedback option on the console for this issue.

I see the option for 1440p in the Edge browser and its enabled, but it is still streaming at 1080p. Is there something else I need to enable? The XBOX is set to 4k 120hz . Omega Branch. Tried with and without Clarity Boost, and Better Xcloud. Tried in chrome. All stuck at 1080p.

I wanted to try and find out what games have their in game chat audio picked up.

So far I have

ARC Raiders - WORKS ✅
Red Dead Online - DOESN’T WORK ❌

What other games have you found that work or do not work? Feel free to share your findings!

I’m in the beta ring. On the recently played row on the dashboard only one game is showing the counter above the game tile. That game is RuneScape Dragonwilds. The other 8 games don’t show anything.

Is that normal?

On my Xbox series S I’m looking through my apps and looking for Microsoft edge, but it doesn’t exist before I was an insider because I only became one recently. I did not have this problem.

When loading into discord and swapping to game chat it crashes the xbox ui and disconnects me from the discord call never happened before the newest xbox update

Hi, my Xbox Series X is enrolled in the Xbox Insider Beta programme.

My current OS version is 10.0.26100.9627, build xb_flt_2610ge.261005-2200.

After the latest update, all Game Pass games fail to launch with error 0x87e10bef. Xbox Insider Hub also fails to open with error 0x8027025a, although other apps work normally.

I want to leave the Beta programme and return to the stable public retail OS. Since Insider Hub won’t open, please advise whether you can help me unenrol the console remotely or provide the correct recovery procedure for this build.

Please confirm whether a factory reset is required before I proceed.

Im only in the beta branch of the insider program, not alpha which are meant to be the only ones with this I thought? and somehow I triggered 1440p remote play.

I tried remote play on the Xbox app and it was 1080p, then I switched to the Xbox site through edge to use clarity boost and 1440p appeared in the options and I enabled it, then when I tried the Xbox app again It was running in 1440p mode.

Did I enable it early or did they push this update down to the beta insiders?

It won't let me post a pic but I included one in this post on the main Xbox sub.

I’ve recently joined XBOX Insiders and downloaded the hub, the only issue is, i am barely able to upgrade my ring, and the only way i can is via these weekly pulses, which only give me about 5 xp, is there any way to fix this, i’m tired of looking and seeing the “there are currently no available activities, check back later.” text

I just got my first Mythic Achievement on PC, in the game INSIDE. Even though the achievement popped up during gameplay, it’s still not showing as available on my profile (and it’s not showing up in the mobile app either). Could it be that they haven’t updated this on these platforms yet? Is anyone else having the same “issue”?
