It’s been quite a while since Microsoft last hosted a Bug Bash for Windows Insiders, but we’re finally seeing the return of a new one. Indeed, now through May 17, you can earn a cool new spring-themed badge for completing certain quests in the Windows 10 Feedback Hub.

Hey #WindowsInsiders, exciting news! ???? We have a new #BugBash for you starting today through May 17! Inch closer to your next achievement badge by completing Quests and filing feedback in the Feedback Hub: https://t.co/xaYtqWMmaW. New Quests will be released daily! pic.twitter.com/qpQboqpz6G

Available here, there are currently a subset of quests that you need to complete to earn the badge. You can try updated caption settings, use the magnifier, check your storage disk in disk management, make text bigger, or free up disk space. There are a total of 18 quests to complete, and Microsoft says that new ones will continue to be added daily.

Since Windows Insider builds are now smaller in scope, we really do like these quests. It helps to increase engagement and gives Insiders an incentive to download the latest builds and go through the various places in Windows 10 to try out the various features.

Microsoft wasn’t clear which Windows Insider channel this applies to, but we’re assuming you’ll be able to try it out as long as you’re an Insider with the latest build in your respected branch. A lot of the quests aren’t tied to specific features in the various Insider branches.

Check it out now, Windows Insiders! And be sure to log your feedback to help make Windows 10 great for everyone.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
