    Games move on pc


    So I noticed a weird issue on windows. I like to move my games and keep franchises together.

    This happened a year ago and I never bothered reporting it. Today it happened again. Yesterday I moved doom eternal PC up on my recent played games. Once all dooms moved I uninstalled game and turned off computer. Played halo etc. So now doom eternal is a few games down the list. Turned on computer today and it moved up on recent played Games. I don't have it installed?

    Solution I sort of found is to remove permission for the app. (That also said I played 1 min ago when I was there)

    Then I remembered last year that's what I had to do to prevent games moving on my PC. I could leave it installed just have to remove permissions everytime if I don't want the game to move.

    Last year it was like I played Skyrim PC and it would move another game with it. So I launch Skyrim and fallout 4 PC would also move in the recent games. If I had permissions accepted and game installed.

    Anyone else ? Maybe it's my computer. It's a weird bug alright.

    :)

    Hi the big j(2)

    I've cconsulted our internal team and based on what we've found out, this could have been due to the synchronization of your games between yor devices. As shown on your screenshot that you are chekcing your games from your phone, am I right? It could have been that there was an activity from the phone and it automatically sync to your PC.

    I've also found an article about achievements, you may refer to this article here: Problems with Xbox achievements and challenges | Xbox Support

    Sincerely

    I'm on windows 10. Latest version.

    Not sure how a picture helps but here is an old one. Now imagine I turn on computer. Doom eternal went up above all those games.

    Then moved them and fixed it.

    Then new game from game pass. Frog detective. I played it and moved it down like in the picture.

    Next day turned on computer.

    That frog detective went back up to the top. With out the game installed. Etc .

    That's when I also remembered I didn't remove the permissions.

    I figured there is some internal memory delay that when I shut down and turn on the computer it still remembers that app running?

    It hasn't happened again. After removing permission and un-instlled

    Seems if I have a game installed and and permissions enabled for the particular game, it can move on its own..
