    The ‘Launch App’ input hasn’t worked since a console update failed a couple of months ago


    I was initially thinking it had something to do with the Shift, but that was working just fine with every other mapping I had, like turning a paddle from ‘A’ to ‘LB’. I tried the launch input on some buttons directly, rather than through a shift, but that didn’t work.

    Since the failed update, I’ve factor reset my console twice and hard reset it several times. As the moment, neither controller nor console require an update. I have no idea how to fix this issue, and it’s such a bummer. Being able to just switch to a different game at the press of a button - or technically two - or even remapping controls on the fly, was lovely. It’s such a minor QoL thing, but I’ve grown to love it over the years.

    Xbox Avatar Editor won't launch

    It's been a couple months, and I've still had the same problem. I've done a soft reset again that keeps my games and apps, but that didn't work either. My console has also been updated recently, but the app still won't launch.

    Surface Duo 2: Can't remote play using Xbox app

    Thanks for the update!

    Try with an old version, hope you can make it work in that way.

    Also, I can advise you (can take a while) download the app version launched 2 weeks ago, if that doesn't work, try with one launched 1 month or 2 months ago, just to give it a try.
