9/23/2023 0 Comments Do i need microsoft feedback hub![]() ![]() I have created an article on the MS “Answers” / “MS Community” forum that discusses Feedback. Simple number of votes guarantees nothing. Feedback is nice to have, even if the return feedback from MS is trivially small.Īs I understand it MS takes the feedback, considers the suggestions and number of people voting for it, but they pick the suggestions with their own priorities in mind. I used Windows and Office programs for about 25 years before the feedback options started to appear. The third generation is the “Feedback Hub” application in Windows 10.Īpparently MS consolidates feedback from all of these sources. The second generation was the “smiley face” buttons built in to some applications. Each was created independently by developer teams at MS. The first generation was a collection of sites on the “UserVoice” website. The “Feedback Hub” is actually the 3rd generation of user feedback to MS. Ways to “polish” them before the feature is released to the general public ![]() Insiders tend to be more experienced users, so they can make more useful suggestions about proposed new features that MS releases to them. That gives MS the opportunity to identify programming bugs that are limited to very specific environments that MS has not created. Where Insiders are useful is providing the option of testing on a wider range of computing environments, a wider range of computer hardware and software combinations. “Insiders” are not an adequate replacement for professional, systematic, quality control testing. I agree whole heartedly that MS should have a large, “fully” staffed quality control / testing teams for Windows and Office applications. To emphasize further– number two in the list of suggestions which, in my opinion, while not exactly imperative certainly has a lot more merit than a more colorful Start button, has attracted a mere 95 Upvotes, way behind the inane number one: This exemplifies what I have been saying for many years– that relying on the user community for advice rather than on a team of experts who actually know what they are talking about is sheer folly. The mind boggles! So, in the future, while we’ll likely still have to put up with the myriad of bad Windows Updates that are forced upon us and constantly creating issues, at least we can look forward to a more colorful Start button… whoopee. I had reason very recently to submit feedback via the Feedback Hub, an extremely rare occurrence, and there, as if to confirm that the lunatics have indeed taken over the asylum, right at the top of the list of suggestions with almost 900 Upvotes was this little gem:Īpparently, the greatest concern regarding Windows 10 for the majority of users who utilize the Feedback Hub is to make the Start button more colorful. Feedback submitted via the Feedback Hub is voted on by other users and subsequently listed in order of priority based on the highest number of Upvotes through to the lowest number of Upvotes. The Feedback Hub app, for example, which is built into Windows 10 - and is the primary source for users to report bugs, issues, or make suggestions - is one of Microsoft’s main tools in its decision-making process. I’ve been saying for a long time now that the system of relying on feedback from the Insider Program is clearly not working and that Microsoft needs to return to its former method of employing a team of experts to check updates and new innovations for bugs and associated issues prior to general release. ![]()
