  1. Windows 10 XBox App DVR requieres Media Pack that is already installed


    Hi folks,

    I wanna screen record my Windows 10 desktop using the build in DVR feature of Windows 10 (Pro N 64bit).

    The app says, that I have to install the Media Feature Pack for Windows N version (KB3010081). I did it but after a restart, the app still requires this Add On.

    How can I fix it?

    Thanks for your help and a happy new year from Germany,

    - Toby

    :)

    Streaming from Xbox One to Xbox App on Windows 10 KN system not working

    Hi,

    I´ve been trying to get the game-stream going again from my Xbox One to my PC working for hours. Even got help from support agents here at the Xbox page to no avail. Anyways we did manage to confirm that my settings are OK, the basic stuff.

    Then I notice the Xbox App says I have to install the "Media Feature Pack for Windows 10 N and Windows 10 KN editions" since I´m running a Windows 10 KN system, build 1511. I installed the Media Feature Pack again, that did not work at all.
    The app still says I have to install the Media Feature Pack even it´s already installed.

    Then I notice the following text at the support page for the KB3010081 which is the November update for the Media Feature Pack.

    "Effect on other features" and "Xbox: Some functionality such as Game DVR that is associated with this app does not work."

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3099229

    Is this issue being looked at? I would really like to be able to stream games to my PC again. I´m I the only one with this problem? If not,
    please update the troubleshooting page because the information regarding the
    Media Feature Pack for Windows 10 N and Windows 10 KN editions is obsolete.

    Xbox App keeps closing on freshly installed PC

    Hi,

    I also had the same issue. I recently reinstalled Windows 10 on a new SSD, and afterwards the Xbox-app would crash randomly. When I saw your Windows version I remembered that I had forgotten to install something.

    You see I also have Windows 10 Home N, which is a special version of Windows 10 that comes without certain features due to some EU court ruling or something like that. Anyways, it doesn't really matter, since you can get these features by installing the
    Media Feature Pack. I had forgotten to install this pack, and installing it fixed the issue.

    Here's how to install it:

    The Media Feature Pack for N versions of Windows 10 is available for download as an Optional Feature. To install the Media Feature Pack, navigate to Settings > Apps
    > Apps and Features > Optional Features > Add a Feature and find the Media Feature Pack in the list of available Optional Features. Note, you will not be prompted to restart your computer, but
    you must restart in order to successfully complete installation of the Media Feature Pack.


    Edit:

    Figured I should link to the support page:

    Xbox PC App crashes shortly after opening

    I managed to find that the issue here was because i'm using Windows 10 N which doesn't have any of the Media Features installed and this was causing the application to crash as it requires these features for the Game Bar Application integration.

    Once i installed the Media Feature Pack for Windows 10 1909 and restarted my computer i was able to use the Xbox app.

    Forza Horizon 4 FH601 Error

    Hello,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    • What is the current build of Windows 10 you are using on your computer? You can refer this article to Check for the operating
      system information in Windows 10
      .
    • Was Windows Media feature pack installed successfully installed or do you receive any error code/message during the installation?


    I understand it can be frustrating when the application don’t work the way they are supposed to. The error code/ message, the issue might be due to missing Windows Media components and missing media .dll files to install Forza Horizon 4.

    Please follow the below mentioned methods and check if that makes any difference.



    Method 1:

    There are different version of Media Feature Pack for different versions of Windows 10. As you have Windows 10 Pro N installed on your computer, I suggest to refer this article Media
    Feature Pack list for Windows N editions
    and select the appropriate Media Feature Pack for the version of Windows installed on your computer.



    If the issue persist, please refer method 2.



    Method 2:



    I also suggest you to update the graphic driver on your computer and check with the issue, please refer the article Update
    drivers in Windows 10
    , expand display adaptor and follow the steps mentioned in the article.
