    PC Xbox app non-functional


    What in the world is going on with the Xbox app for PCs?? At first it wouldn't fully open, and even after reinstallation, it is freezing. Closing it now must be done via the Task Manager by ending the process. What a sh*t show.

    Update: The problem is now worse. The app opens to a blank black box; nothing more.

    :)

    PC Xbox app non-functional

    Hello, Sven Jolly,

    I hope you are doing well today. Welcome to the Xbox Community. Thank you for reaching out to Xbox Forums. You mentioned that your PC game pass is non-functional. I am happy to help and provide some suggestions on hopefully fixing this problem. Even though you have tried some of my suggestions, let's try them again in this order.

    Solution 1:

    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files. If some Windows functions aren't working or Windows crashes, use the System File Checker to scan Windows and restore your files. Sometimes corrupted files can cause issues.

    Solution 2: Reset Windows 10 store & Xbox app

    1. Open Settings.

    2. Go to Apps -> Apps & features.

    3. Look for Microsoft Store/Xbox App and click it on the right side.

    4. The advanced options link will appear. Click it

    5. Next, click on the Reset button to reset Microsoft Store/Xbox App to the default setting.

    Solution 3: Try reinstalling the Gaming Services package on your Windows 10 device:

    1. Right-click the Start button in the lower-left corner of the main screen, and then select Windows PowerShell (Admin).
    2. In the Administrator: Windows PowerShell screen, type the following command and press Enter:
    3. Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers
    Solution 4: Play games offline on Windows 10 using Offline mode; this error could also be attributed to issues with the Microsoft store not recognizing your entitlement to the game. Would you please click on this link Play games offline on Windows 10 using Offline mode | Xbox Support. Then scroll down and click on the drop-down arrow and look at the steps for How to enable offline play on your device

    Temporarily disable your security program(s)

    False positives occur when your antivirus software incorrectly identifies safe software as malicious. If your antivirus or anti-malware falsely flagged a game, remove the file from quarantine, if necessary, then whitelist the game. To do so, follow the instructions from your manufacturer.

    • Sample of Virus & malware checkers that have been known to prevent games from launching:
      • Malwarebytes
      • Norton & Norton Utilities Ultimate
      • Trend Micro Maximum Security
      • Comodo Antivirus
      • Sophos
      • Emisoft Anti-Malware
      • Avira
      • Avast & Avast Cleanup
      • Bullguard
    If the games normally launch after disabling your security program, whitelist the game before turning the program back on. To do so, refer to your security software's support website.

    Also, make sure you have no current windows updates pending.

    I hope these suggestions help! If this answers your question, please mark the thread as "Answered."

    Xbox turn on via app non functioning.

    This function doesn't work, only when you're going to stream your Xbox to Pc and It "looks" to be off

    Maybe It doesn't work, I tried to use many times but It never worked, even on Android, IOS or PC

    Xbox turn on via app non functioning.

    See here, maybe that will work. Unbeliewvable that XBOX devs cannot determine which network adapter has the gateway, and send out the power on packet on that.

    Also did you notice that as soon as the xbox app is powered on, it seems to setup the IP address of the XBOX on the windows 10 PC. When you turn the xbox on, it then takes the IP address, or something like that.

    Maybe it is the xbox app creating the XBOX IP on the windows 10 PC that is the issue.
