    How Can I Disable Cloud Save Syncing on the PC Xbox Application?


    I have a Corrupted Save File of Call of the Hunter: The Angler, and the only known solution is to delete the save file and start over.
    However, since the save file is on the cloud, I am unable to delete the save file.
    After Reinstalling the game, it still syncs with the cloud save that is soft locked, and I have no way to prevent the save sync. I am now unable to progress.
    How am I able to DISABLE Cloud Save Syncing via the PC Xbox App, or by any other method? I am unable to find a solution for this anywhere.
    To clarify, this is *NOT* being played VIA the Cloud Gaming. The game is installed Locally on my PC, but the SAVE data is syncing.

    Platform: Windows 11
    Game: Call of the Hunter: The Angler
    Issue: Unable to progress due to file corruption. Corrupted Save is in a cloud save, with no way to delete the save to start over with an uncorrupted save.

    PC Game Pass - Snowrunner - Buying a DLC (Year 1 pass) make me lose my profile and saves

    As I uninstalled the game i don't have any save file on pc, hence the 'I lost my saves'

    It should be downloaded with the game like before but it's not the case.

    How can I check cloud sync and force a sync ?

    Restore progress in Forza Horizon 4

    i lost my progress after sync console with cloud, so i think new game and new progress now at cloud. On my PC i have game with old progress, can i load progress from PC to cloud , not from cloud to pc. How to find local savings at PC ?
    The local Forza Horizon 4 save games are located here:

    C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.SunriseBaseGame_8wekyb3d8bbwe\SystemAppData

    There should be a wgs folder in there which is the save folder.

    Not entirely sure how to get the local copy synced to the cloud without the cloud over-riding the local copy though...way beyond my ability to understand

    Cloud sync blocking downloads

    Hey there punkstjimmy!

    I'm sorry to hear you're having issues downloading things. Let's see if we can get that cloud sync out of the way to make room for your active downloads.

    Do you have other saves synced to cloud storage at the moment? If so, I suggest:

    • Move those saves to your Hard Drive and/or a USB drive to keep them safe.
    • On your console, go to Settings, System, Storage, Cloud Saved Games.
    • Delete your save games from the cloud.
    • Disable cloud storage by hitting Y over Cloud Saved Games and selecting Disable.
    • Clear your system cache by following our guide on
      how to clear your Xbox 360 system cache
      .
    • Restart your console.
    • Check your Active Downloads and see if the downloads are now going. You may need to restart them now that the Cloud Sync is out of the way (hopefully).

    If you don't have any other saves synced to the cloud, you can follow the same steps. There's just no need to move your Cloud Saves to a Hard Drive and/or USB drive, in that case.

    Let us know how that goes for you and we'll work with you from there! ^_^

    Xbox PC Game Pass Cloud save not synching with PC device anymore - No Man's Sky

    Hello,

    So, in terms of saves, I found another thread that seemed to have a similar issue: Xbox Game Pass on PC : Force Cloud Save Sync - Microsoft Community. For this it recommends deleting local save files. You can probably move them instead of deleting them so if the game doesn't register the local files and it still doesn't sync, you don't lose your save entirely.

    Just in case, I play No Man's Sky on my Console but I'm downloading it on my PC with Xbox Game Pass to see if I can check out any discrepancies and seeing about reproducing your issue. I know that on Xbox when you first launch the game, it will sync your data for No Man's Sky before launching. So I've logged onto my Xbox, played around a little and used a save point to save before exiting. NMS is currently downloading on my PC so when it finishes I will double check and see if it and how it syncs the saves.

    When you launch the game does it detail anything that says it's syncing or anything like that?

    Just additional resources just in case:

    Thank you,
