Remote Play from my Laptop

It doesn't work with next gen which shocked me. No ETA either.

Remote Play on Windows 10

• Known issue: Console streaming to a Windows 10 device from an Xbox Series X|S will not work through the Xbox Console Companion app.
  
• Workaround: This feature is only supported through an Xbox One generation device. You can currently stream from an Xbox Series X|S console to an Android or iOS device via the Xbox app. Keep an eye on news.xbox.com for any updates on further support for additional platforms like Windows 10 devices.
  

I believe it may only be infrared in controlling the xbox 360. but the controller is a universal remote. and it has a Media Centre button which has been on computers way before the xbox 360 was even created.

There is just no other explanation for why I can control my HP Vista Home Premium Laptop Computer. My HP Laptop came with its own little remote. That sticks into the side of the laptop. My laptop has a IR sensor on the front but I disabled it. Now the Remote
that came with the Laptop doesn't work but the 360 Remote still does.

If it is an internet problem though surely I shouldn't be able to remote play on my phone? However remote play works perfectly fine on my phone, just doesn't work at all on my laptop! Could it be an issue that the tv I am playing on only supports 720p or does that not make a difference?

Hi RheName.

My name is Renato.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

I'm sorry for the issue you're experiencing.

From what you've written, it seems evident that the problem might be related to your PC rather than your console. Based on my experience and knowledge, I can suggest a couple of procedures. You mentioned that you've verified that your PC is up-to-date, which is always an important factor that is often overlooked.

Although the Xbox app is likely updated as well, I'll provide you with a procedure to verify that it is, along with the Game Services.

To update Xbox app and Game services

Press the Start button on the taskbar, type store, and open the Microsoft Store app.
Select Library.
Under Updates & downloads, check if there are any updates available for the Xbox app or Gaming Services app. If an update is available, select Update.

If everything is updated i suggest to try removing and reinstalling Gaming services.

To do this you must press the Start button on the taskbar,
type 'powershell,'
right-click on Windows PowerShell, and then select 'Run as administrator.'

In Windows PowerShell, type the following command and press Enter:
get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers

In the same window, type the following command and press Enter:
start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

Install the app on that page and select 'Yes' when you receive the User Account Control (UAC)
prompt.
Restart your device.

In the latest versions of the Xbox app for PC, you can also proceed by clicking on the icon of your gamertag, go to support, and you should find the restore option.

I hope this helps you to solve your problem.

Kind regards
Renato

They’re almost no laptops with an HDMI in. It’s an out

You can stream your Xbox using remote play to the Xbox app on your laptop.
