    Fallout 3 not working in Windows 11, anyone know how to fix?


    I downloaded Fallout 3 from the Microsoft Store, and the game doesn't launch on my Dell G5 SE (AMD Ryzen 7 Edition). I've tried changing compatibility options and I've tried downloading the .EXE for games for windows (Windows 7's version of gaming services). Neither of these solutions worked. Compatibility Settings do not affect MS Store apps, so changing the settings did not make a difference. Modifying game installation files is not possible as MS Store apps are encrypted and are restricted to system access which supersedes admin access. Needless to say, conventional fixes like those available for Steam will not work on this version of the game. The game was on sale for like $2 in the Store which is why I bought it there instead of Steam, since Steam did not have that same deal.

    :)

    Xbox app won't finish startup while offline. Window 11

    Then why advertise it as a feature. The Xbox app itself won't load, how is anyone supposed to play anything offline. It work 3 years ago. I'm gonna guess this is a Windows 11 bug. My windows 10 desktop works fine but, the laptop on windows 11 won't.

    I can't create an account for Xbox

    For a fix (which worked for me on fallout 3) all you need is windows live on the conputer, no login, anything but the application. Hope this helps ;3

    Does anyone know how to fix the Game Bar that will not open with Windows 11?

    I have already done all of this.

    I should mention that I have been using Game Bar on this PC for over a year and have never had this problem.

    Hello Ashton,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    We understand that you are trying to launch Xbox Game Bar in your Windows 11. The app could be either restricted or missing Xbox related app/system to launch the app itself.

    For this we will have to isolate the issue, if this happens on this user profile or all user profile. Please try the following steps:

    • Keep your Windows updated -
      • Install PC updates including Optional Update. Guide - Update Windows
    • Update your Windows drivers:
      • For the best game performance, make sure your system’s video card drivers (or display adapter drivers) are up to date. Drivers are available on the support website for your computer manufacturer, or if your computer system is custom built, on the video card manufacturer’s support website. Updating video card drivers can resolve game crashes, improve frame rates, and improve overall game performance.
    • Update Xbox app and Gaming Services from Microsoft Store
      • Launch Microsoft Store app on Windows by searching it on Windows search bar.
      • Select Library > Updates & downloads > check if an update is available for the Xbox app.
      • If an update is available, select Update.
      • Launch Xbox app and check at the bottom of the page, if an update is available for Gaming Services.
    • Sign out your account on Microsoft Store and Xbox app. Make sure you are signed into Microsoft Store and Xbox app with the same credentials.
    • Restart device -
      • This will clear your computer’s memory/RAM.
      • Turn off or disable any antivirus, antimalware, VPN, firewall, proxy and PC Optimizer (or something like game accelerator).
      • See if you can launch Xbox app and Xbox Game Bar.

    If issue persists, you may create a new user profile:
