    No games able to be played for more than a minute


    So I got roped into getting game pass from a friend and did so (I´m on PC)

    Installed it and downloaded The Ascent. It starts up OK but after the "start game" it always crashes after 30 secs to 1 min with sound keep playing but screen freezes and is filled with pretty large white squares of diffrent opacity.

    For a while Witcher 3 was till playable (from Steam) but after getting microsofts help today to update the graphic drivers this error now hits everything.

    Plix helpings me!

    :)

    Tried them all.

    The last one didnt exactly work becase when I had downloaded the update launcher and executed it it told me I already had the latest version and nothing more could be done.

    Please try the following:

    Step 1

    - Type Troubleshoot in Windows search and press Enter

    - If you can't see troubleshooters, click the Additional troubleshooters option on the right

    - Here, find Windows update section

    - Click Run the troubleshooter and wait till the process is finished.

    Step 2

    - Type Services in Windows search and hit Enter

    - In the new Windows, scroll down till you find Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)

    - If the service is running, right-click and select Restart

    - If not, right-click and select Start

    - Do the same with Windows Update service.

    Step 3

    Press Win + REnter the following and hit Enter:

    regsvr32 Qmgr.dll /s

    Open the Run dialog again and run the following command:

    regsvr32 Qmgrprxy.dll /s

    Step 4

    For this fix to work, you would have to find another Windows 10 machine of the same version (Home/Pro/Enterprise). If you have access to such a machine, do the following:

    - Access another computerType regedit in Windows search and press Enter

    - If User Account Control shows up, click YesNavigate to the following location:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\TrustedInstaller

    - Right-click on the branch and select Export

    - Choose the location, name the file trustedinstaller and click Save

    - Transfer the file to your computer

    - Once the file is on your desktop, double-click the trustedinstaller.reg to merge it with your own registry

    - Restart the PC and try updating Windows again.

    Step 5

    If none of the above helps, you can repair your Windows installation without losing files or installed apps. Here's how to do it:

    - Go to the official Microsoft website and download installation files

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...(press Download tool now)

    - Once downloaded, double-click the setup.exe

    - Accept License and Terms, select Upgrade this PC now, and click Next

    - After the necessary files are downloaded, choose Keep personal files and apps

    - Click Install (make sure that all apps are closed and not running before doing this)

    - Your PC will restart and installation finished

    Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    First check if windows 10 is up to date. Make sure your time and date are correct on your windows settings.

    There is an "Optional Updates" button in the smallest print kindly find and install them as well.

    Make sure that this is turned on "Receive updates for other Microsoft products when you update Windows" under Advanced Options

    Check for store updates: Start menu, select Microsoft Store > More > Downloads and updates > Get updates.
