There are literally millions of Windows 10 Insiders, but given the number of bugs which slip through it is sometimes not very clear if they are actually participating actively in the development of the operating system, and if in particular, they are giving feedback to Microsoft of issues they noticed.

Microsoft is today taking another step in helping to motivate Insiders to report issues more vigorously by letting them know when a change they report has made a difference.

Microsoft will be doing this in 3 ways.

1 – Microsoft will now notify specific insiders directly if an issue they reported in the feedback hub has been acted upon and ask if the bug fix has resolved the issue.

The pop-up above will be delivered initially to the user who made the report, and then later to users who upvoted the report.

2 – Microsoft will be requesting the same feedback via email if a user did not respond to the pop-up.

An email may say “You gave feedback on Mail or Calendar live tiles being out of date. Was this problem fixed?”

3 – Lastly in the feedback hub itself there will now be banners notifying users about important events regarding feedback they submitted.

Ultimately a more engaged group of Insiders should result in a better operating system for us all.
