    Xbox app crashes when clicking on Messages

    I've submitted this via the Xbox App feedback features but I'll re post here just in case.

    Xbox app crashes whenever I go to Messages. It just shuts down completely. Everything else works perfectly fine, the bug is only triggered whenever I go to Messages.

    This has been happening on every device, my desktop PC, Surface 3 and even Windows Mobile 10.

    Additionally, the Xbox website messages do not work for me either, I get the following error.

    'It appears you have found a glitch in the system. Please try again later.'

    Thank you for reporting this issue.

    The team has taken a look, and we believe a fix has been identified, which we hope to make available as soon as possible. In the meantime, an interim solution is to use another client (Xbox.com for example) to delete messages in your inbox from "Xbox Live,"
    and then sign out of the Xbox App. Then, when you sign in, messages should open correctly.

    @Haxo Leilas - Tried your suggestion and cleared out a message that said that it had an invalid date (Gears of War promo code). Went back into Windows Xbox app and it still crashes. Just an FYI.

    I had the same problem. Did what @Haxo Leilas suggested above and went into my messages on Xbox.com. I had one from Xbox Live where it said "Invalid date". I deleted the message and signed out/signes in to the Xbox app and voila - no more crash opening messages.

    Thanks for the workaround, Haxo Leilas. I'll have to try this later. I've been having this issue with the Xbox Beta app (not regular release stream) since December sometime.

    For anyone for whom the workaround does not work, if you know who sent you a message and you just want to read it, you can open their profile and if you select Send Message you can see past messages in the conversation. That can be helpful if you don't want
    to sign into Xbox.com and stay in the app.

    I can also confirm that deleting the message from Xbox Live that says "invalid date" and then signing out of the Xbox app and signing back in works. Thanks guys.

  12. My app crashes clicking on messages or party.

    Phone support suggested I reformat my computer, I suggested they do something much more vulgar.

    This is pretty ridiculous. The only worse thing I could think of is opening the app causing it to crash.

    Biggest software company on the planet.

    Get it together. Can't even uninstall, the option is grayed out, so even if you don't Xbox, you are stuck with a broken app taking up space.

    Fix this yesterday.

  13. App force closes when clicking on messages

    Hey everyone,

    This issue should be resolved in the latest version of the Xbox app. For most the Xbox app should have updated automatically. Please let us know if you're still seeing this on the latest build and submit feedback by using the Report a problem feature in
    the app.

    Thanks!
