    The title. I started playing kingdom new lands and i use a plug and play wireless controler. When i start the xbox game menu(or however it's called) it can freeze the game, but it can also freeze completly if left untouched on pause for too long. And then i can either wait or close it. When i close it, it becomes a background process that's unclosable. Like, no matter what i do it won't close. And that somehow stops the computer from shutting down, when that's supposed to close eveything.

    Game freezez when left on pause, when closed it becomes background process and it can't be closed, stoping even shuting down the pc

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this Sebastian

    Please answer the following questions to assist you properly :
    Is this happening on Windows 10 or 11?
    What wireless controller is the one that you have?
    May I know if you tried playing the game without that wireless controller?
    Did you download the game from steam, Xbox app or a different launcher/store?
    And which troubleshooting steps you have done so far to fix this?

    In that way I can advise you different things or how to proceed

    Is Adventure a limited time app?

    No, the game should not stop loading. However, I have experienced this when I left the app running in the background and didn't actually close it. Are you minimizing the game or leaving it to run in the background?

    Is Gears of War 4 (PC Version) game fully installed?

    Hi there,

    the quickest check that I would do is to try and start the game to see what happens.

    Even if you close the Windows Store App the download will continue (if it is not Paused) in the background when the PC is powered on. So it could have been the case that the game was downloading when you didn't realise it was doing that.

    Installing Apps on an External HDD

    hi Armando Vasquez Ambrocio

    that is normal since apps and some game have background process. (even when they are closed)

    try disabling the background process of game and apps in you HDD

    this setting is found in: windows setting>Privacy>Background apps

    there you can disable the game and apps background activity

    and restart your computer

    note: windows store will not be able to automatically update these apps/Games if the HDD is not connected
