Win10 Xbox App - Minimises when clicking on another screen

I click on play, the Xbox app minimises and nothing happens. There is no process from The Outer Worlds in the task manager, nothing.

Is it possible to connect remotely to xbox ?

By team viewer or any other remote connection app?

The XboxOne application (for win10) is not good cause I cant control the mouse,

I want to connect a mouse\keyboard to xbox and connect to it remotey to simulate clicking on the screen.

Just to clarify - if you alt tab out of a full screen game to a window that's
not covering your entire wallpaper (i.e not maximised), is the game minimised? Or is the game still visually running in the background for you, blocking your view of the wallpaper?

Hi,

If I alt + tab from game that's running full screen then my game is minimised to the Taskbar. I must remind you that unless you have another application either running on the desktop or also minimised, alt + tab won't take you anywhere. If I hold the keys
down, my game shows in a small window in the middle of the screen. When I let go of the buttons it goes back to full screen.

On pretty much all of my games, if I press the Windows Key on my keyboard, it automatically displays the Start menu and my game is minimised completely.

While a game is minimised, it still uses system resources such as in RAM, CPU and GPU cycles.

There is nothing special about my PC configuration. Standard Windows Settings. I built the PC myself it's an i7 8700, 16GB and an RTX 2080 graphics card.

I've noticed the Flight Sim 2020 app when minimised uses considerably more CPU (going from 15% to 70% when minimised) and considerably more GPU (18% going to 48% when minimised)

What on earth could cause this to happen?

You would presume the opposite would be true, but it's not the case

I am growing very weary of the Store apps, they cause me nothing but issues during the install compared to Steam or any other game installers

To the OP I tried it out this morning for movies and music and the Answer to your Question is NO, music cannot be played in the background, the app can be minimised to the home screen but opening up another game or app cancels any playback from Media app.
Having said that it did work fault free for me so it's a win so far. Now bring on that DNLA part and it's gold.
