  1. Issue with launching a game


    Hi, I have a problem launching a game, screen stays black but I can hear the game is running because the audio is working. I think the problem is with the switching from iGPU to nvidia GPU. Is there any way to fix this? Thank you.

    :)

    Hello ElbowsInElmo!

    My name is Dérek, I'm an independent platform consultant and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you.

    Okay, this error code ending 025a means that the console is having difficulty connecting to the servers.

    Let's try some means.

    Open the panel by pressing the Xbox button in the center of the controller.

    Scroll right on the panel to the System area.

    Select Settings.

    Select Network.

    Select Network Settings.

    Select NAT Test Type.

    Tell me what appears on this test, please

    And try to take this test too, please!

    Press the Xbox button to open the dashboard.

    Select System > Settings > System > Console Information

    Select Reset Console.

    Restore and keep my games and apps.

    Rest assured, you won't miss games or saves

    When asking to pull settings from an old xbox, put no

    You will have to log in your accounts again, that's all

    I look forward to continuing, my friend.

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues launching a game on PC.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    Please update GPU drivers because an outdated or corrupted drivers can cause switching issues. Download and install the latest driver for your NVIDIA GPU from the NVIDIA website: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx.

    During installation, choose the Custom Installation option and select Perform a Clean Installation. Restart your PC after the installation is complete.

    Note: This is a non-Microsoft website. The page appears to be providing accurate, safe information. Watch out for ads on the site that may advertise products frequently classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

    And then check Windows graphics settings by opening Settings > System > Display. Scroll down and click Graphics Settings.

    Select the game, click Options, and choose High Performance this will use the NVIDIA GPU. Save changes and test the game again.

    Next is to update DirectX. Please download the latest version from the Microsoft DirectX page: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/detail....

    Then test and adjust power settings. To do this, go to Control Panel > Power Options. Set it to High Performance.

    If the problem persists, kindly check if the game is running on the correct monitor by pressing Windows + P and selecting PC Screen Only or Extend.

    Test different resolutions in-game or in the NVIDIA Control Panel.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Issues with Apps and Games Launching

    Try clearing the cache.
    Put your finger on the start button of the console for 10 seconds until it goes out.
    Then wait another 30 and turn it on again.
    After trying this, reinstall the game.
    It may work for you :D.
