  1. PC freezing completely when I open Xbox app and Steam games. How should I fix?


    Recently, whenever I open the Xbox app on my PC or certain games, my PC completely freezes. It won't let me move the mouse and it doesn't capture any keyboard inputs, along with the screen completely freezing. I have already checked for and repaired any damaged files, along with making sure that my GPU drivers are updated. Every time that I've tried something new and followed a guide on YouTube nothing would help, and I'd have to force a shut down by holding the power off button on my case. I have an AMD cpu and an Nvidia gpu. How could I try to fix this?

    :)

    PC freezing completely when I open Xbox app and Steam games. How should I fix?

    After a little more testing it's with any and all steam games. However, I don't think it's just with steam because the same thing happens with the xbox app. (Same issue of screen/pc freezing)

    what are the certain games?

    If they're not Microsoft games you should contact their publishers support

    "Could not download EA Desktop" even though I already have it. - Xbox Game Pass on PC EA Play

    as long as its the new ea desktop beta app then it should work, i have actually got rif od it all as it is glitchy, and a complete waste of time.

    none of the ea games for gamepass pc support acheivements, constant gme freezing, having to deal with xbox app and ea desktop constantly.

    i just bought ea play with steam for £20 for the year, you download the games within steam, majority support steam cheevos and trading cards and when starting the games automatically call the origin app quickly and non intrusively.

    How to stop double inputs on my Xbox Series controller on PC?

    What I would do is to exit Steam completely when you are playing an Xbox app game. I had a similar issue recently. I was trying to play Among Us with my controller on my PC and it started rapidly switching between controller and keyboard+mouse input to the point where I could barely move. Steam was open in the background, so I went down to the bottom right of the taskbar and clicked the up arrow, then right clicked Steam and clicked Exit Steam. The reason this happened was because of Steam controller remapping interfering with the direct input of controls to the PC.
