  1. No Man's Sky stuck on starting screen


    I installed No Man's Sky on the Xbox app on PC. When I launch the game I'm stuck on the starting screen saying left click with the mouse to begin, I clicked so many times and have waited a good 30+ minutes with nothing changing, I also tried using a controller
    but it didn't work either. Searched and done the steps support mentions when encountering problems with games and none worked (YES I reinstalled the Xbox app and the game, restarted and updated driver). So what should I do?

    Hey, thanks for the reply. I wrote that I have tried the solutions provided by the guide and nothing seemed to work. Other games I have on Xbox (beta) app seem to work fine. It's just No Man's Sky that seems to be stuck on the starting screen.

    Hello Jake_064,

    It's good to know that it worked. You try to perform the steps again if the issue reappears, and if the issue returns, you may perform Clean boot, SFC scan or try to create a new Local account.

    Please also indicate if download issues are on the Xbox App, Microsoft Store, or browser and what type of file is being downloaded.

    Uninstall and reinstall the gameIf you're having trouble getting a game to play, uninstalling and then reinstalling the game might help. Occasionally, game files may get corrupted or altered, especially if you've had a malware problem or are running a game modification on your device.

    Some games can even repair the original files without you having to remove the game completely. However, if you installed the game from the Microsoft Store, you'll only be able to completely uninstall and reinstall the game. For more info, follow the steps in:
