Hello, BlitzzKK.

We appreciate you posting in Microsoft Community.

I noticed that your application is on abnormally.

I would like to try to offer you some advice.

This is very unusual and if you suspect that you have a virus on your system, please use some virus scanning software to try to get rid of it, such as Microsoft Defender.

Refer to its usage:

How to start a scan for viruses or malware in Microsoft Defender - Microsoft Support

In addition, clean boot is actually designed to troubleshoot interference from third-party software.

You can follow the steps from the Microsoft official site:

How to perform a clean boot in Windows - Microsoft Support

Disclaimer: A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. It helps to determine whether a background service is interfering with your game or program and to isolate the cause of a problem.

Feel free to let me know if I did not make it clear or you need more help.

Best Regards.

I got a similar issue going on with my elite series 2, it randomly opens the share tab of the guide menu, even when not even touching the controller. It just does it completely on its own at random intervals....

Hi Redflash81,

I have not experienced anything like this myself before and it does seem like an odd one. Are you enrolled on the Xbox Insider system program? This is not done automatically but instead you would have agreed to sign up to this via the Xbox Insider hub app.

Also i would suggest trying a Power cycle/reset
of the machine and if that doesn’t work then maybe a ‘soft’ reset of your console to factory defaults on Xbox One. Make
sure you choose the Reset and keep my games & apps option

Hope this helps

Do you have the Ubisoft Club app installed? If you open it on your own does the app open? It seems like the issue is with the Ubisoft Club app and not the game. The Division series has always been an online game, and I'm guessing that the game requires
some information from the Ubisoft Club app to locally pull information about your Ubisoft account. So, I'd start with troubleshooting that app. Let us know if you have it and if it launches on its own without trying to launch the game and have it redirect.

Hello
I have done both of these and there's no change. The app still does not recognise that I own the product. As for the second solution that's how I discovered that the app does not think that I own the product. I click on the link it opens the app. Its only willing to install it cause I have a current subscription to gamepass. If I do the same thing with another product that is in my library its states that I owe it and will let me do it regardless of gamepass subscription status.
cheers
