Connecting to windows 10 pc

V 1 2 B · Mar 3, 2020

I have a HP Pavilion all-in-one with windows 10, and an xbox one x. I want to play my xbox games locally using my pc. Is it possible? How is it done?

BTW, as far as my 'topic' goes, I don't know what 'xbox console companion' means, but none of the other selections were right.

Well, I plugged into my router's lan ports 1 and 2, guess I could have used any of the 4, and after going through the set up schnurren referred me back to it worked very well! I thought it would set me up on my wifi again and that game play would be too
slow and unplayable... but, the pc and xbox did find each other and connect through my router! It didn't tell me anything, it just worked. Now, when I look at my connection it's wired.

Thanks to everyone for helping me out!

In the end, it worked fine using the ethernet through my router. And I did notice that my IP had changed automatically.

Depending on how your router is set up, it's possible that one LAN Port is configured for guest access, and can't communicate with other devices.

Please check your router configuration, that there is no guest network set up, and that devices can communicate on the LAN without restrictions.

When you connect both console and PC to your router, check that both devices are properly connected to the network, so that the PC and Xbox can properly access the internet.

On the PC, make sure that your PC has no third party firewall or antivirus installed. Windows 10 comes with it's own Firewall and Windows Defender Antivirus. Most third party antivirus programs need to be configured to allow Xbox game streaming through their
firewall. And since you are using a router to access the internet, the router already is your internet facing firewall. The Windows Firewall would only protect you from attackers that are already locally connected inside your network.

When you say your PC "doesn't recognize it", do you mean the PC doesn't recognize the Ethernet connection, or the Xbox in your home network?

I plug an ethernet cable from the xbox to a my modem (it has 4 lan ethernet ports), then ethernet from my modem to my pc. No joy.

No Firewall or Antivirus problems. I couldn't see a wired connection on my pc in the list of devices, so I thought my pc was unaware of the ethernet connection. But, after plugging in the ethernet, confirming my xbox one was open for setup with any device
and going through the instructions for connecting to stream it worked fine.
