    Games crashing on Windows 11


    I did a clean install of Windows 11 a couple of days ago.

    Games are now constantly crashing to the desktop after some time, with literally no error message. The time it takes varies. It could take a few min to a couple of hours, but it always happens no matter the game or if it is from steam/xbox Windows app/Epic Games, etc. I never had this problem on Windows 10.

    I have tried everything to fix it: driver and firmware updates for everything, Windows updates, etc. I even went and reinstalled a completely clean Windows 11 and the still problem persists. Also went through the 'Gaming' settings section on Windows 11 and tried disabling each one to see if that helps, but it does not.

    I did notice some other people on the 'Feedback Hub' complaining about the same problems as me. Is this a known issue, and what can I/we do to fix it?

    Thanks

    :)

    Games crashing on Windows 11

    Hello dear Gamer, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is Vinicius.

    I am a gamer and independent advisor on the XBOX community platform.

    Hey GeneSmith334, how are you today? Hope you're well.

    Have you considered going back to windows 10 just as a test to see if this issue is carried out to that version as well?

    There are a couple of things we could try before, though:

    So, let's try this, first, make sure your windows and all its services are up to date:

    Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;

    Click Check for Updates;

    Click the Download and Install Now option, if available;

    Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services.

    ______________________________________________________________

    Then try this:

    Go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair and then restore, open the app and try again.

    Then do the same for the Xbox app:

    Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair and then restore, open the app and try again.

    ______________________________________________________________

    Then, try to uninstall and install the Xbox app. :)

    ______________________________________________________________

    If it still doesn't work you're going to uninstall the games services using a powershell command, then you're going to open the gamepass app, it will ask you to download and install the game services again :

    In the windows search bar type Powershell > Right click and select open as administrator > Type the command: "get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-Appxpackage –allusers" > Wait for the process to finish and then restart the PC, then open your Xbox gamepass app, it will ask you to install the gaming services again, install it and try again.

    ______________________________________________________________

    If neither of those procedures works, try to restore your PC's OS via the ISO image tool, using that tool you will be able to maintain your installed games and files.

    If you're using Windows 10:

    Forza Horizon 5 error 0xc0000005

    Its a 0% chance its windows 11. How do I know? I installed windows 10 and it crashed in the exact same spot. Its right after you hit start game or accessibility options. Doing it on different hardware and a completely different OS. Only similarity in all this is the game itself/account.

    5 windows 11 reinstalls and a windows 10 reinstall. I can recreate the crash 100% of the time in the same location. Its very strange.
