  1. Family sharing stops working after rebooting PC.


    This is happening with forza horizon 4 but it seems like an issue with windows. For the last few months, the family-shared game refuses to work when the member account restarts their computer. Earlier, I used to simply add someone to my microsoft family, sign into their PC with my account, have them download the game and then sign out and let them play my game on their account (with their own progress and all). That is what family sharing means. However now I have to sign in with my account every time that person restarts because the game refuses to work, acting as if the family is not set up. I also noticed that this particular member no longer has any "connected devices" listed under family even though the other people in my family have their devices listed. The latter used to show connected devices before but I suspect this also stopped showing around the same time when this issue began.

    What's the matter? How can I get it to work like it used to? It's too much trouble to sign in and out (and consequently change my password) everyday.

    :)

    GamePass not showing on family and friends account

    Why doesn't family sharing work on PC with my Ultimate subscription? My son can use our family Ultimate on his Xbox but not on PC.

    have gold cant access gta 5 online

    For the future,check your account under "Account Settings" and see if it says you are Gold. Most likely the system needed to be rebooted after becoming Gold or it was just a "one-off" glitch/bug. Sometimes technology does strange things. A few weeks ago,
    my scroll stopped working on my PC. Rebooted and it worked again. Weird.

    Game share not working

    On PC the sharing of games works differently than on the console.

    On PC, your Microsoft Account needs to be a member of the Microsoft Family together with the account owning the games. You can add each other to the Microsoft Family at
    https://account.microsoft.com/family

    After that, sign in on the Windows 10 PC with your own Microsoft Account. Then have the person owning the games come over, and open the Windows 10 Store. Sign out of your account from the Windows 10 store, and have the person owning the games sign in on
    the store.

    Then have them download the game(s) they own and want to share to your PC.

    After the games have been downloaded, the person signs out of the store, and you sign back in.

    I have gone through the steps, and rebooted my pc a few times, at one point I thought it worked since doom did not appear in the Microsoft store of xbox app, but after I tried to install a game to see if it worked Doom came back and stopped the install.

    some of the error codes I get are

    0x00000001

    0x8000000b
