Messages don't populate in the Xbox App on Windows 10 PC and Windows 10 Phone!

For the past week, the "Xbox app" hasn't been populating my messages, or their contents.

- The issue exists on Win10 PCs and Win10 phones, across different devices and networks.

- Friends using Windows 10, have reported similar complaints

- Resetting the Windows 10 apps doesn't fix the problem

- The Xbox Beta app is also affected, indicating an underlying Xbox Live issue

Frustratingly, the more optimized and updated Xbox apps on Android and iPhone devices, still work reliably. Please address this problem, and stop neglecting your core "Windows" PC and Phone customers, at the expense of your never-ending pursuit of "the next
big thing".

Regards,



:)

• Xbox on Windows 10

Let’s take a closer look at what’s coming to Xbox on Windows 10 with this month’s Xbox app preview and Windows Insider updates from the Windows team. We know you love recording and sharing game clips and screenshots, so this month we spent time enabling that feature on Windows 10.

Game DVR for PC games – The Game bar lets you record game clips of your favorite Windows games.

Screenshots – Take screenshots of Windows PC games by pressing Windows + Alt + PrtScr. Just as with Game DVR, you can also do this by clicking the “Screenshot” button on the Game bar.

Live Tiles – The Xbox tile on your Windows 10 start menu now welcomes you back, showing off your gamerpic and letting you know when you have new messages and activity alerts.

Avatar app – A new app is available in the Windows Store to customize your Xbox avatar’s appearance and outfit your avatar with a vast collection of items.

User profile – You can see another gamer’s bio, location, reputation, tenure, and other information in the more info page, including their animated avatar.

Real name sharing – Similar to the features we brought you in the March update on Xbox One, you can now choose to share your real name on the Xbox app with all of your friends or with everybody.

In addition to keeping you connected to your games and friends, we’re giving you even more control over the Xbox experience on Windows 10.

Xbox One Now Playing and media controls – The games and apps you’ve used most recently on your Xbox One are now displayed when you connect the Xbox app to your console. You can also use the Xbox app to pause, fast forward and rewind.

Live TV streaming and PIP (picture in picture) support – For preview members with an Xbox One Digital TV Tuner (in 16 European countries and Australia) or a Hauppauge 955Q TV Tuner (available in the U.S. or Canada) attached to their Xbox One, you can now stream live TV within your home from your Xbox One to Windows 10 PC running the Xbox app.

Xbox controller drivers – The drivers for Xbox controllers are now included with Windows 10, so you no longer have to download and install controller drivers on Windows 10.

The Xbox app will automatically update to the April preview version when it becomes available in the Windows Store. Once you receive the update, your version number should be 4.4.9014.0 or higher. You can verify the version number of the Xbox app in Settings.

• Xbox One and SmartGlass updates

The Xbox team continues to work hard to bring the many fan-requested features on the Xbox Feedback site to Xbox One and Xbox One SmartGlass, with the following items being available to preview members this month:

Over-the-air TV for the U.S. and Canada – Earlier this month, we announced the preview for an Over-the-Air Tuner for the U.S. and Canada.

Power on and off from Xbox One SmartGlass – The beta versions of the Xbox One SmartGlass apps for Windows, Windows Phone and Android will be updated to let you turn your Xbox One on and off.

Wireless Display app – Try the Wireless Display app to cast photos stored on your phone to your Xbox One, or to stream non-protected video content from your PC to your Xbox.

User-selectable power mode – Select your preferred power mode, either Instant-on or Energy-saving mode.

Voice messages – The ability to send and receive voice messages from the Xbox One messages app continues in preview this month.

For more details about each of these features, check out the full story at Xbox Wire. And stay tuned for more great Xbox features coming your way on Xbox One and the Xbox app on Windows 10.

 

Hi! Due to the influx in such posts, I assume MS knows about this and is working on a solution. In the meantime you would have to use your Xbox One or xbox.com which should work as well.

 

Hi Julian,

Does Team Xbox browse these forum posts, as a way to identify new issues?

Unfortunately Xbox One and Xbox.com do *not* work as well, when you rely on Messaging to manage large, active clubs with thousands of members.

The Xbox App is all but a necessity, and yet it's poorly optimised with routinely broken services (like messaging), and frequent crashes to the desktop.

Can we really *assume* Microsoft will fix these issues, after seemingly dropping support for the app (and it's beta counterpart) approx. 6 months ago?

Thanks

 

Hello Borm,

Yes team Xbox does browse forums for posts and issues. Also there are ways we can push up issues and let others know. As in this case there are any with this issue and they are aware of it. There is no ETA as to when a fix will be available though

Thanks,

Brad

 

Thanks Brad,

The wider performance of "Messaging" for Windows 10 PC and Phone users, has been consistently poor since the Xbox App first launched.

Hopefully this *new* issue becomes a catalyst for optimising the whole product on Windows 10 devices, because
Android and iOS versions consistently work far better, leaving core customers to feel neglected.

Regards

 

Absolutely. But as you already implied, the question rather is when.
