    Games not playing and back to desktop.... What worked for me.. (With HELP from Microsoft ...


    My new Xbox One worked fin for the last month then after the update all of a sudden my Battlefield 4 wouldn't work and my downloaded Titanfall wouldn't play and couldn't find my profile to play the gamel

    I went online to Xbox Chat ( after 40 minutes of waiting) we tried the following things:

    Cleaning up some items: ( All which failed to fix the problem for me but might for you)

    1. Settings ---- Disk & Blu-ray---Persistant Storage--- the finally Clear Persistant Storage

    2. The other was to power off the unit by holder the power button on the console for 5-10 seconds, then unplug all cords from the console, unplug the power from the brick and re plug items and re start system

    3. Settings---- Network---Advanced Settings---- Alternative MAC Address---Clear

    Then what did fix my problem so far was a HARD RESET ( this will delete your game add on's but not your saved games as they are saved to the could (per Microsoft))

    Settings--- System---Restore Factory Defaults

    After I did this I was able to reinstall the game and it would play... noe i have to go back and reinstall all the game add on's that I purchased... I'm still downloading the Titan Fall to see if it will read my profile now to play that game.

    Hope this helps others like it has me..

    :)

    Can't play multi-player minecraft xbox one

    I don't know if this will help but a really helpful guy from Microsoft support helped me and it worked. I can now play multi-player with no trouble. This is what we did - I removed my profile from Xbox one turned my Xbox off at the power button, waited 30
    seconds , put my profile back on went into my settings which I had as custom then put it on adult settings, loaded minecraft up it worked, exited Minecraft, then I went back into my settings and customised them again loaded up Minecraft and it still worked.
    I'm not sure if it will help you guys but it definitely worked for me. Thanks Adam!!!

    Premium Taptiles Subcription

    I purchased a Taptiles premium subscription for one year with my Xbox Game/Microsoft Store account as well on my desktop PC, I logged onto my laptop under my Xbox Games ID and the Taptiles premium worked fine, about 1 months into the subscription the laptop
    Taptiles premium game advised that my subscription was expiring and I needed to re-purchase. The desktop premium Taptiles is still valid and working fine. What is this all about and why do I have to deal with this? Can someone please respond back to this thread.
    If not, please stop taking subscription money.

    Glad to hear that fixed it. I would recommend getting an external storage device for the future to prevent the need to redownload all items. You can use a storage device that is USB 3.0 compatible and with a size ranging from 256GB to 16TB. You have the
    option to use up to two devices at the same time.

    External Hard drive usage with the Xbox app

    Hi Dani,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I understand that you're trying to transfer your Xbox App games from your laptop to your desktop.

    For security reasons, all games from Xbox App are encrypted and will only work on the device where it was originally downloaded. This is the reason why it can't be recognized by your desktop even if the files are already existing in the correct directory.

    The only way for you to play Game Pass games on your desktop is by downloading them separately.

    I hope this answers your question and clears out any confusion that you may had.

    All the best,

    Alvaro
