  3. Why do I have a restriction

    I want to know exactly why I’m being enforced. I have a right to know. I also want to be able to report underage gaming. Mature rated games are for 17+. If I have to walk the line then I believe kids do too! They disrupt the chat and the gameplay. Many gamers
    want to be able to report underaged gaming. Plus, their account should be restricted based upon age and once an account has either, let an underaged gamer play a mature rated game or the underaged gamer lies about his/her age, that account should be permanently
    banned.

    Twitch Streaming on Xbox needs an Option to REMOVE the OVERLAY

    They both use the same overlay, but both apps have different settings. No this images are from the Twitch end. I stream to Twitch, not Mixer. Which is why this is a Microsoft issue, not twitch. It's Microsofts API, hence why the mixer overlay is the
    same.

    Why do i have a fps counter on the top right that i can't get rid off

    Thank you, do you have an AMD graphics card? This looks like AMD's performance overlay.

    Try pressing CTRL + SHIFT + O to disable the overlay.

    If that doesn't work, try disabling the AMD performance Overlay in the Radeon Software settings. To do this, open the Radeon Software, go to the "General" tab, and toggle off the "In-Game Overlay" setting.

    Games crush when discord are running

    Hi jhon

    I just fix this problem by disabling Discord in-game overlay (Setting -> Overlay)

    It interesting that the other programs that have this feature, such as Overwolf or RTSS , do not cause this problem

    Thank you for replay Sir

    Xbox cloud gaming - Why on dekstop in full screen mode the scrollbar is visible?

    Thanks Jesse :)

    I found a workaround on Edge:

    1. Launch Microsoft Edge browser.
    2. Open a new tab.
    3. Type the following and hit Enter – edge://flags.
    4. In the search box of flags page enter – #edge-overlay-scrollbars-win-style
    5. Check if Windows-style overlay scrollbars is visible.
    6. Select Enabled from the drop-down button.
    7. To disable the same, select Disabled option.
    8. Restart your browser.
    After those steps are completed there is no grey scrollbar visible - only a thin black line instead. :)
