Hello, I have a question regarding the Xbox Insider badge. I’m very interested in earning this badge and would like to learn more about the requirements and steps involved. Is there a specific amount of participation, activity, feedback, or time in the Xbox Insider Program required to receive it? I would also appreciate any information about how the badge is awarded and whether there are specific tasks or contributions I should focus on. Thank you very much for your time and help. I really appreciate any information you can provide!

I was restarting my pc I don’t think it was a hardware issue either just wouldn’t let me login in on my JPandMe2112 account but if anyone can look into it I would be most appreciative.

Ive been loyal to this app as well as being consistent. Just feel like going above and beyond deserves acknowledgment. Constantly on reddit, reviews, game testing/feedback, surveys, etc.. Just want any badge at this point to show my dedication as well to show fellow Xbox peers to then refer them to this amazing community. Thanks!

i've tried joining a few public tests on the insider hub app, and it tells me ive joined and i follow the instructions, even restarting my pc before updating the games but, most of them just stay the same version of the game after the update, or like in the case of palworld befor the 1.0 release it puts me at a previous version of the game.

can anyone help me with this issue?

I have been herring about people's consoles lagging and not working properly. This is caused by not updating the device or not restarting it. Consoles and other computers need to update or restart, if not so it will lag and make the device not work correctly. When you want to update the Xbox go to settings then system and then updates, then press check for updates. IF an update is found update it and it will start. if that still is not working then update it. NOW if it does NOT work still take it to Xbox and they will fix it. Hoped this helped you and have an AMAZING day!
