How can I simplify start up of program on my pc?

Hi there,

This issue could be caused by either a software conflict or a third party security program being a little over-protective and blocking your computer from accessing Xbox LIVE on your copy of Windows 8.

To test this theory out, can you try to run Windows 8 in what is known as a 'clean boot'. This guide will explain how:

You will need to go down the webpage a little and click on + button for the guide for Windows 8.

After disabling your start-up programs, restart your PC and attempt to log into the 'Games' App with your Microsoft account. If it logs in now without an error, some program in your Windows start-up sequence is blocking access. However, since every PC's start-up
programs are different, you may need to try different configurations to find out what the culprit is.

To re-enable your start-up programs, compete the guide again, but in reverse.

Let us know how you get on.

Things got simplified and streamlined. It's not something that I really was all that excited about. Didn't even care for it at first. I do like how it is customizable now. End of the day it's more like my hot bar on my PC. It seems to have freed up resources
and things seem to transition better. Even though I liked the old one better I dont mind this one.

Hi,

It's unlikely to 'just start working again'.

Did you make any changes to your PC in the last few days, such as adding programs at start-up? Do you have any anti-virus programs or PC hardware monitoring applications running?

Also, No. I havent made any changes to my PC recently except the regular Windows updates.

Can you simplify your explanation? I don't understand how you got it to work.

let me try to simplify my set up, but i doubt it will work...
