Hey everyone,

I set up a new Xbox Series X on October 8 and signed in with my Insider account. The account has been in the Insider program for about 5 years but is still level 1, so it's on the Omega ring. I enrolled the console in Xbox Update Preview (Omega) the same day.

The console is still on the October 1 Omega build (2608.260927-0830). As far as I can see, 4 newer Omega updates have been released since then, but my console hasn't been offered any of them.

What I've already tried:

- Checked Settings - System - Updates manually

- Confirmed the Series X is enrolled in Xbox Update Preview on Omega in the Insider Hub

- "Keep my console up to date" is turned on

- Restarted from the Power menu and did a full power cycle

- Left Xbox Update Preview, waited for it to finish, rejoined, and restarted

Nothing has changed and Manage still shows 2608.260927-0830.

Is this expected, for example because those builds only went to part of the ring, or is something wrong with my console's enrollment? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

I cant play forzw horizon 6 by play with ads even iff i am an insider i can play other games but not this while other people ca can

I was wondering, is it normal for mythic achievements to pop rather than the last required achievement of the game to pop? What I mean by that, is I recently unlocked my second mythic achievement (Need for Speed rivals) and instead of the last required achievement unlocking with the follow up of the mythic achievement popping, I only got the mythic achievement to pop and last required achievement that’s required for the mythic achievement didn’t pop at all; my first mythic achievement (Halo: Campaign evolved) I unlocked did the total opposite, I unlocked the last required achievement for the game then I unlocked the mythic achievement. Does anybody know what’s that about or what that means?

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 am a Xbox user and Support Xbox, but my voice, opinion on exclusives doesn't matter? When infact for myself it is the MOST important thing and is what pushed me to PC. I want Xbox to play to WIN and make ALL Xbox games exclusive. Then I will happily be back on the console playing and I will get the Helix. Especially TES6 and Fallout games ALL should be exclusive. If not I will leave for good. No reason to be there. So why was I not given this survey of questions?

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 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’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?
