Game pass games asks for firewall access every single time

Thanks for the reply. No, I am not using any VPNs or custom dns

I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

If you are using VPN's this could be the cause of the problem. I recommend removing the adapters. I also recommend resetting the firewall defaults, you will probably have to allow the apps again.

The same issue still persists.

The game DID ask (and get) Xbox Live Profile account access on first start. Visible on the MS account page. So it HAS the elevated privileges to read/write save files to the MS/Xbox user cloud data.

The game also is registered in the MS Win 10 Firewall settings. It has the privileges to pass data through the firewall.

Seems, after each time a user starts the game again, the (background?) Xbox profile login/hook and cloud save access does not happen.

Running the game with main Win 10 user profile (with Admin rights), with vanilla slow-tier Win 10 Pro Preview Build. No 3rd party AV. All other XBOX Pass PC games work/save as intended.

Also, to the comment about Skyrim being a Single player game so it has no Online Pass - Mass Effect 2 and both Dragon Age games had online passes that were required to access certain content in the games.

No. Those games had codes to special in-game content. An Online Pass is a one time use code to access the full multiplayer experience ONLINE.

You'll need Xbox Live gold in order to play online for every game. That "Online Pass" is only for that one game. If you buy Medal of Honor, and play it on a silver (free) account, you will still be able to access the single
player campaign, but not the multiplayer component.
