Can't get remote play (Series S) to work with Windows 11

Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Advisor, and I'll do my best to help you.

It sounds like your Xbox Series S may be experiencing a hardware issue if it is not turning on properly and only flashing. However, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

Ensure that your Xbox Series S is plugged in and turned on. Check that the power cable is firmly connected to the console and the outlet.

Try resetting the console by holding down the power button on the console for 10 seconds until it fully turns off, then turn it back on.

Check that your Xbox Series S is connected to the same network as your Windows 11 laptop. You can do this by going to the Settings app on your Xbox, then selecting Network > Network settings.

Ensure that your Xbox Series S is set up for remote play by going to the Settings app on your Xbox, then selecting Devices & connections > Remote features. Make sure that the "Enable remote features" option is turned on.

If none of the above steps work, you may need to contact Xbox support for further assistance. They can help you troubleshoot any hardware or software issues with your Xbox Series S.

WOW! this is works for me too! Windows 11, laptop (lenovo ideapad 5, ryzen), Remote play not working not on russian nor ukrainian, just on english..

I just tried the xcloud service directly from my series s and it worked absolutely flawless.

Now I am even more confused than before.

Why can I play cloud games directly from my Xbox in an astounding quality but it is not possible to remote play from Xbox to pc/ipad.

But what confuses me even more is that it works perfectly with ps remote play.

Just tested steam remote play from the PC to the iPad and that also worked wonderfully.

Maybe it's an general problem with the series s/x consoles?

console- Xbox series s

windows- 11

Hello Trevor_491,



Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



I can see that you are having trouble with remote play on your Windows 11 PC. I understand how frustrating that can be. Here are some possible steps you can try to fix the issue:



- Make sure that your Xbox Series S and your PC are on the same network and using the same Microsoft account.

- Check if there are any updates available for the Xbox app on your PC and install them if needed.

- Restart both your Xbox Series S and your PC and try to connect again.

- If the problem persists, you may need to adjust some settings on your router or firewall to allow remote play to work.
