Game doesn't open without internet on Windows 10

Hey Lucasbrsix! To clarify, have you launched the game after setting your laptop as an offline device? For more information on playing offline check out the

offline support page. Let us know!

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

1. Press the 'Windows + r' keys and type 'wsreset.exe' (without the quotes)

2. An command prompt window opens and then closes after approximately 10 seconds.

3. The Microsoft Store then opens automatically. Check if the game works properly again.

If it doesn't then Open Powershell in admin mode and paste the following, which I believe reinstalls the default apps on Windows 10.

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

Yeah, I understand that wifi could cause internet dropping, but I'm not having issues with my internet connection dropping... I'm playing other games on steam and origin without problem. My internet just drops when I open the Xbox Beta or Windows Store!
So I can't play Xbox beta games.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Yeah my issue isn't with drivers since the drivers do install just fine, but it's regarding firmware updates to the controller. I checked out that site you linked me to but unfortunately I've already gone through all that without
success. In fact, I cannot even proceed with the suggested tips to download the controller drivers for Windows 8.1 because the site it links us to, the Microsoft Update Catalog, requires Internet Explorer (not to be confused with Microsoft Edge that comes
with Windows 10). And even if I use either the Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge that's in Windows 10 I still cannot access the page because it doesn't recognize me using a pre-Windows 10 version of Internet Explorer. Long story short, no success here, but
thanks for at least trying to help, which I appreciate.

Only gamepass ultimate works with steam deck

Unless you install Windows 10

Steam.os cannot install games because from gamepass games are windows based

Only cloud gaming is supported unless you install Windows 10

actually, the steam deck uses proton to run windows programs. you CAN install windows games on it without windows 10 and they run quite well. In fact, that's the selling point: many of the games that steamdeck runs are the windows versions. There are guides all over the internet for getting everything from EA play, to Gamepass, to GOG, etc running on the steamdeck to play the windows native games on the steamdeck.
