  1. Microsoft Games App not working on Windows 8.1


    I have windows 8.1 installed on my P.C. The Games App no longer appears in my Windows Apps and when I try to install it back onto my PC I get a message "Sorry, this item has been removed and is no longer available for purchase from the Windows Store." The
    only references I can find are Xbox on Windows 10. Does this mean it is no longer available for Windows 8 users? There is nothing else on the Apps store to suggest this App is obsolete.

    :)

    Xbox One can run Windows 8.1's new universal apps

    CAN run. CAN. Not "will."
    PLEASE don't everyone totally freak out about this. Understand that there is a "Universal apps" thing Microsoft is working on, to make it easy to develop apps that run across Windows 8.1, Windows Phone 8.1, and Xbox One.
    I cannot stress this enough: This does NOT mean that all those apps in the Windows Store will suddenly show up on your Xbox One.
    What this does mean is that developers will be able to deploy an app to Windows, Windows Phone, and Xbox from a common code base. They'll have to make the interface different for the phone (portrait), windows (landscape), and TV (10-foot UI). They'll have to account for controllers and Kinect.

  3. No Archivements for MS Bingo

    Hi,

    that right, on xbox.com and on my Lumia 520 phone I can see the archivements. But in the Windows 10 Xbox-App there isn't this game in my list and because that, there are no archivements. In the App and and Beta-App there is a bug to see the Game in the list.
    Also Microsoft Solitare from a Windows 8.1 device is missing. This one is also visible on my windows 8.1 phone.

    free apps on windows 8.1 will not install error code: 0x80070005

    Is it any specific apps from the Windows/Microsoft store that aren't working? Do you have the latest Windows 8.1 update?

    Microsoft Solitaire Collection And Windows 8.1

    I really like to play tri peaks, but as soon as Windows 8.1 update or upgrade, whatever everyone calls it. It is sluggish and sound issues. It worked smoothly and perfect in Windows 8.0, but as soon as 8.1 was installed and even all the driver updates do
    nothing to fix the issues this game has. It is a App issue. This app needs a new update fix for Windows 8.1. I tried other games from XBOX like mahjong and others and they run fine in Windows 8.1. It is this App only. Until someone here from XBOX or Microsoft
    decides to fix this, then the game is never installed again or played by me. My mother won't even update or upgrade to Windows 8.1, because of this.

    I even contacted BestBuy and Toshiba, and they won't do anything, because it is an App issue. So far I see a lot complaining about this App not doing what it should be doing in Windows 8.1, but nothing is being done to fix it. Such a fun game ends up being
    no fun, when it is sluggish and no sound.

    Are XBOX services discontinued across devices (PCs, tablets, and phones) running Windows 8.1?

    That part I understand. So why is the XBOX Games app working for the phone and not for the Windows 8.1 PC or tablet? At least they should have shut everything down across the board or shut down the ability to access XBOX achievements on the phone as well
    as the Games app there and keep the Windows 8.1 version running.

    Xbox Video app for WP8/8.1 and Personal Videos

    @IRB, wrong OS. I wasn't talking about the Windows 8/8.1 app. I'm talking about the Windows PHONE 8.1 app not indexing the video in the Windows PHONE camera roll.
