Termination the Windows Xbox games background task

Denmarks · Feb 20, 2018

Once in a while when starting Windows Xbox Bingo, Solitaire, or Mahjong it will tell me that I am not connected to the internet and can't sign in. Everything else works fine. After a few days I give up and restart the system. It then allows me to start the
games. I assume there is a running Xbox background task that is causing the problem and restarting Windows restarts the task. What is the task name so I can kill it myself without having to restart Windows?

:)

What are you specifications of your MSI gaming computer (aka Which version of Windows? (1511 or 1607?) what type of graphics card do you have? Also have you tried to run the game with out having other programs running? (aka check task manager and see what
could be taking up memory while launching Forza Horizon 3.-- it could be a background task that is taking up memory and not an actual program)

If you have Cloud Storage or background downloading enabled, this is normal behavior. The 360 is performing background housekeeping tasks prior to shutdown.

Hi!

Try logout of the Store and login again. If it does not work, try resetting the app using the "wsreset" command.

You probably will have to terminate it through Task Manager.

Press Windows key + X

Click Task Manager

Click Processes tab

Select it then click End Task

There are no specific game listed, but when game mode is on it is enabled for all the games. It generally doesn't do much when all your background tasks are disabled. It works when you've other background tasks running and then you play your game and it
provides extra resources to the game.

Hi, I hope you're doing well and safe out there. I'm an Independent Advisor and I’m happy to help you today.

Sorry to hear about your issue with your game. If you have opened many programs on the background running when you run into Minecraft Exit code error -805306369 so let's try some steps that might help.

Kindly close all background programs then right-click on the task bar at the bottom of the window and choose Task Manager from the quick menu. Under the Processes tab, scroll down to check those tasks with using a lot of memory. Click on it and choose End task then check your game again.

Hello Aldo,

No, it should display a quick-loading animation.

Please, restart your computer and try again.

In case you still have issues, press the keys CTRL+SHIFT+ESC together to bring the task manager.

Search for "Store" and end the Microsoft Store Task, then try running the command again.

Also, make sure to run the terminal windows as an Administrator.
