    windows 10 and xbox connection problem

    My windows 10 computer and xbox one are both wired to the same router. My windows 10 computer can turn on the xbox but rarely connects. Last night I changed the name of the xbox to xbox1 and was able to connect and play a game on the computer. This morning
    the xbox powers on from the computer but will not connect even if I enter the xbox i.p. address.

    I cant stream my Xbox to my Windows 10 Xbox app anymore after Operating system update.

    Hello,

    I cant stream my Xbox to my Windows 10 Xbox app anymore after an operating system update. I am able to turn on my XBOX using Xoon but when I go to the Windows 10 Xbox app, I would type in my public ip address and it would not recognize it. For a month, I
    was able to do it with no problem but since my operating system updated it doesn't connect. My public ip address has not changed.

    help,

    How do I disable the on screen keyboard?

    In the Windows 10 Xbox app there is an option in settings under Typing on My Xbox One where you should be able to turn it off.

    Game streaming resolution when TV is off or on different input

    Here's some additional details for Microsoft. I am using two xbox ones and a windows 10 pc:

    - an original model xbox one connected to a 1080p tv and a wireless AC network connection

    - an xbox one S connected to a 4K tv and wired networking

    - windows 10 pc with a 1080p monitor and wired networking

    Game streaming works perfectly to the original model xbox one with a wireless connection. From my windows 10 PC I can turn on the console, start streaming, and the resolution is great.

    With the xbox one S though, even though I have a wired network connection to both the PC and that xbox, I will only be able to stream in 640x480 resolution unless I turn on the TV before I try to stream. I can also report that if I do turn on the TV first
    and begin streaming in 1080p, I can then turn off the TV without affecting my 1080p streaming until I turn the xbox off.

    This appears to be a bug for our particular configuration, and it's not getting any attention from Microsoft because their streaming test cases are passing. It could be a difference of original model xbox vs. xbox one S, but I'm expecting it has something
    to do with the 4K display settings on the xbox, HDCP, and/or trying to stream to a lower resolution of 1080p.

    Forza 4 issue today.

    Have you been able to access the auction site previously? Are you playing on Windows 10 or Xbox One? I would verify that you are actively online if Windows 10 and that the game is connected to Forza Online, which you should be able to check from the
    main menu screen.
