When did you create your password? I think it was around 20 hours before I could see any newsgroup other than microsoft.betanews.system.announcements

Where do I go to acess the newsgroups?

To use our newsgroups you will need a newsreader program such as Outlook Express (which supports multiple news servers and comes with several Microsoft products, including IE 4.0 or higher). Other third party newsreaders are available as well.

The link below allows you to retrieve your newsgroup ID and configure a password for use in the newsgroups.

To add a new news server using Outlook Express:

Open Outlook Express.

From the 'Tools' menu, select 'Accounts'.

Select the 'Add' button. Click 'News'. Follow the instructions in the Internet Connection Wizard.

Enter your name and e-mail address when prompted. Choose 'Next' after each entry.

On the Internet News Server Name Page, enter "betanews.microsoft.com" and check the box "My news server requires me to log on". Click 'Next'.

For account name, enter "<Your newsgroup ID>". Then enter your password. Click 'Next'.

Then click 'Finish'.

Select 'Close' and begin downloading your newsgroups.

NOTE: When you are connected, you may need to Refresh Newsgroup Headers in order to see newer postings, including your own. Other newsreaders may have different ways of doing this.

For the latest information about Outlook Express as well as a list of Frequently Asked Questions, check out the Outlook Express Web page at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/oe/ for Windows users and http://www.microsoft.com/mac/oe/ for Macintosh users.

If you are unable to access Microsoft beta newsgroups you may be behind a corporate firewall. You may be able to install a proxy server that is able to pass protocols on port 119. Otherwise, your system administrator can solve the problem by opening the News port in the firewall (port 119).

Thanks. But where is that link to get ID and password?

EDIT: I figured it out. Thanks for your help!

Guys I can't sign in. Can someone tell them that p [underscore] emil [at] hotmail [dot] com cannot login? I don't have a feedback button in connect either :s

Please see the screenshot. Repair puts a nice green checkmark beside ip and does nothing. Sign in still fails and hitting restart gives another exclamation mark.

Does WLM8 use specific ports, as I do have a router..

On your connect site, under Community section. When you press this button it'd tell you your ID and will ask you to enter password you desire.

Have you tried releasing and renewing your ip address through windows?

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
