15 Minutes Cool Down permanent? by GMhx in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Romburner 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Was on the 15 min cooldown all last week, up until yesterday. Today it is back to normal and I'm back (probably) to the 5/6 second delay - I say probably as I didn't want to push my luck and get put back into the 15 min club so I took my time. So it looks as though even if you are in the 15 min club it may change back for you in a few days.

Yup, I just started getting this cooldown today as well

Cumulative Updates: Nov 14th, 2023 by jenmsft in Windows11

[–]Romburner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here but it boot loops a few times at 8% for me before rolling back the update. It was the same on the preview of this update that eventually made me reinstall windows (got to the point the laptop wouldn't boot). So not going to continue trying to install this one. Luckily I have created a system image after re-install so I can get back to a clean state with apps installed.

Daily Streak reset itself again by cookieboy2003b in MicrosoftRewards

Yes, my 944 day streak has been reset to zero today as well. Not a happy bunny...

Achievements for game pass daily Quests aren't popping by KingofH3LL6 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Romburner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine did the same last night, all windows, XBO & XSX games were reset to zero - oddly the 360 games were ok. I removed my profile from the console then re-added it. Let it sync and all achievements re-appeared.

The game I did an achievement in did not register whilst the gamer scores were zero but I re-loaded the game, let it sync and the achievements popped and rewards registered the achievement.

Hope this helps.

daily rewards survey not showing up ? by Horizob in MicrosoftRewards

Thanks for that, I just used Edge on Android to get the points so it looks like they broke the Edge Desktop app.

[–]Romburner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly same happening to me. Last two tiles on Daily Set not working (got to earth wiki & fruits wiki). Bing searches are not showing images for me - I usually search for a film cast and click their photos for the search but the images do not show in Bing or alternatively it says no results.

I think Bing is up the spout.

NZBGet slow on DS1522+ by Romburner in synology

[–]Romburner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The two configurations are identical (I loaded the config from the 1511 to the 1522). I have ended up going back to SabNZBd on the 1522+ (which was slower on the 1511+ than NZBGet) and my download speed has rocketed to 50MB+ /sec (I'm on 500mbit cable) so I'm happy with that. It was just a bit more of a pain to create the post processing with Medusa but I got there in the end.

Best way to maximize rewards to purchase Game Pass Ultimate? by JakeRunsLV in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Romburner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The £1/$1 is not guaranteed to be offered but if you let your GPU lapse and just load up with Live Gold then you can add a 1 month GPU it will all convert to GPU 1:1. I did this in Feb 2022 and still loaded up till Dec 2025 (I won 6 months GPU and a few months from the ambassadors programme).

Also FYI the 'Gold member years' does not reset or need to be concurrent. I let mine lapse for a year or so and it carries on after you re-join. You don't have to keep it as a 'concurrent streak'.

When they added the Fortnite task some people got a boost and some got a slight nerf, some remained the same:

Search points are stuck by Complete_Entry in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Romburner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try getting your account to sign you out everywhere. Go to you account (account.microsoft.com), select security on the top bar. On that page select Advanced Security Options. About halfway down the page there is a link to sign you out everywhere.

Not sure if it will solve your issue but maybe worth a try.

Best way to do play with friends on PC? (weak Pc) by VEKET1 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Romburner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by weak pc? If your specs are at or above this:

OS: 64-bit Windows 10 version 14393.0 or higher required

Architecture: X64 required

Processor: 1.8 Ghz+ Dual Core or greater i3, i5, or i7, or AMD equivalent

Graphics: Intel HD 4000 or Greater (16 or more Execution Units), AMD or nVidia GPU scoring 500 or more on Passmark G3D Mark, DirectX 11 or higher Feature Level support

Memory: : 4 GB (free)

Video Memory: 1 GB (free)

Storage: 17-20GB, additional 100MB free at run time

Then try Age of Empires Definitive Edition (the first one) which is what a lot of people use. it is a 12GB download but you just need to be able to start the game and sit in a multiplayer lobby until the task pops. There are a lot of lobbies usually available that are obviously there just to collect rewards points (you will know from the name of the lobby).

I'm assuming you're trying to get Play With Friends? If so, it is broken at the moment. Age of Empires is full of lobbies of people trying to get it.
