  1. Black square on left side of the screen while playing


    After the latest update of Forza Horizon 5, a black square appears on the left side of the game. When I left click with the mouse it becomes white for a second, then it returns black. I'm playing from PC (xbox gamepass, not Steam).

    This square appears even with other xbox games, like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 ... how can I remove it?

    I tried to play with the cloud gaming and it doesn't appear, same thing for every game from other launchers.

    PC Information:

    - Windows 11 Pro (21H2)

    - Xbox Gamepass Ultimate

    To solve the issue, you have to unchecked the option flash reflex in performance monitoring. And It's done

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this THEROBERTO2512

    Let’s try to isolate the issue a bit more, for this please try:

    A. Double check if everything is up to date in your system

    Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update
    Click Check for Updates

    Click the Download and Install Now option, if available (Install optional updates as well)

    Then, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services and update everything too. (Click on get updates)

    B. Open task manager > select the startup tab > disable all the programs listed there temporarily
    Restart the PC and try again

    C. Do a clean boot in your PC and try again

    Where is this located?
    Open the GeForce Experience Overlay, then go to Settings > Performance Monitoring and uncheck the option "flash Reflex"

    What is the Button on the Left Side of The One, next to Disc Entry?

    It's the controller sync button like the one that was on 360, the black square button beside the usb ports, so if you wanted to connect a new controller you would press that and at the same time the button on the left side of the Xbox guide button, hope
    this helps

    Xbox one wont load

    Is it just a black screen that you get? Not sure if it's the same issue, but I get this sometimes as well. The way that I get around it is that it will still let me press the Home button on the controller, which will bring up the side bar menu on the left
    side of the screen, over the black screen. I'll then select Home from the menu, and it will freshly load the Home screen on the Xbox and there is no more black screen. Hopefully that works for you as well.
