    Why bother staying in Alpha Skip Ahead? Just bug fixes?


    I’ve been on the furthest build forward of the Insider program for many years, and they kept adding some killer feature that made it worthwhile to risk a buggy experience.

    Since the Series XS launch it’s just been about rolling out bug fixes. I get it, that’s part of the program. But I haven’t had controller disconnects, hdmi-cec issues or anything like that.

    Unless I’m forgetting something, I’m rolling back to a more stable build. Why are most of you in preview builds? Bug fixes or a preview only feature?

    Headset issues

    Good update, hopefully they fix it soon. Thankfully I haven't had this issue but being on Alpha Skip Ahead there are plenty other bugs to be had :)

    Update

    No, it's not a bug, only 50% of the Alpha and skip ahead users got the new experimental dashboard.

    How get alpha/alpha skip head ?

    There is only a limited number of free slots in Alpha/Alpha Skip Ahead.

    If someone in Alpha/Alpha Skip Ahead leaves, or is removed due to inactivity, participants in Beta are invited to Alpha. However, Beta participant invitations are sent out to those, that leave valuable feedback, find bugs, and are most active in the beta
    group.

    So it's not how long you are in the program, but how valuable your input and bug reporting was in the past.

    Added to the fact that invitations are only sent out if there is new room in Alpha, you might have to wait a while to get invited. Just provide good feedback and be patient.
