Issue With xbox as of March 8th,2020 when attempting to Start Up Games/Apps (Alpha Ring)

I believe this was fixed for people in the alpha ring of the Xbox insider program on March 8th: -

"We have resolved the issue in which your Wi-Fi connection would lag for 3-4 seconds and reoccur after 30 minutes"

This fix has already filtered down from the alpha ring to a couple of the lower preview rings, and it should be included in the public build of the dashboard which I would imagine will be pushed out in early April, although that's just an educated guess.
It might be a little sooner, it might be a little later.

This is still not in place, if it was meant to fix this issue.

If your friend is in the Xbox Insider Program, it might be that the Guide re-arrangement feature is currently in testing for the Alpha and Alpha Skip-Ahead rings. He could start the Xbox Insider App and check which ring he is enrolled in.

If he's eligible, he might have the chance to move up to an Alpha ring, but also at the risk of new stuff not working. So he should really consider if it's worth moving up to a less stable ring.

When that new feature is being released to lower rings or the general public depends on how many issues the Alpha Testers find with the feature.

Only if it's considered to run stable, it'll be released to lower rings or for general availability.

Hello,

i am from Germany ....

Now i want to join Alpha Ring, but Microsoft Support tells me, the only way i can join Alpha Ring ist via Invite from another People in the Alpha Ring.

But i dont know anyone in Alpha Ring.

What can i do to join Alpha Ring in XBOX Insider Hub?

Greetings from Germany as well.

Previously, before there were rings, you had to be invited by someone already in the "Xbox Preview Program" as it was called back then.

This was then changed to the Xbox Insider Program, and anyone was able to join by installing the Xbox Insider App, and anyone is allowed to choose a ring up to Beta.

Alpha and Alpha Skip Ahead are only available by invitation from someone at Microsoft, and only if new free slots are available.

You will have to "earn" the privilege to be considered by providing regular and quality feedback, and hope that there are Alpha/Skip Ahead members that provided less feedback, and are removed from the Alpha/Skip Ahead rings.

So the only thing we can suggest is to be patient, and to continue participating in the available activities, and wait for the invitation.

Hi David,

Thank you for coming to the Xbox forums. This is a known issue that is being worked on currently in the alpha ring of the Xbox Insider program. The alpha ring had an update yesterday and a blog post on

Xbox Wire states it's being tracked.

"My Games and Apps

You can always help with the process by reporting the issue through the Xbox Insider Hub app. Just follow this guide
