    Unable to open XB1 SmartGlass

    I have the exact same issue. Windows 8.1 and I open SmartGlass (release and beta versions), and get a green window. Then it kind of crashes by minimizing the window but not actually launching, you can click the app to make the green screen pop back up for
    a second only to minimize again but not actually load.

    Xbox One Nov 16th?

    Remember, remember the 5th of November. I just can't see them launching after both CoD: Ghosts and Battlefield 4.

    Does this also happen when you launch anything else that can be minimized?(e.g: settings, store, Skype, etc) Try checking your controller's home button to see if that's the cause. There could be something triggering it.

    You can also try these:

    1. Use different controllers

    or

    2. Do a power cycle(this usually helps me with most issues) find instructions here:

    support.xbox.com/.../power-cycle-console

    Hopefully I helped, this hasn't happened to me before so I can't give a very good answer.

    This has happened to me a few times DownEast. Just keep hold of the power button on the console to do a hard reset (youll still keep your installs etc) and should work ok then. Worked fine for me this way

    I just got forza and it launches and says its great for my pc but is super laggy. What do i do?

    Launch Forza Horizon 5

    Minimize it and run the Task Manager.

    Go to the Details tab

    Find the process: ForzaHorizon5.exe

    Right click on it and 'Set Priority' to 'High'.

    Check how the game behaves after this.
