Hi Nate Logan1,

Greetings!

Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community.

We understand that you're experiencing issues with your Windows 11 Xbox PC games crashing to the Windows screen. I'll be happy to assist you with this issue.



Firstly, I would recommend checking if your PC meets the minimum system requirements for the games you're trying to play. You can find the system requirements for each game on the game's official website or on the Microsoft Store.



If your PC meets the minimum system requirements, then I would suggest updating your graphics card drivers to the latest version. Outdated graphics card drivers can cause issues with gaming performance and stability. You can download the latest graphics card drivers from the manufacturer's website or through Windows Update.



Additionally, I would recommend checking for any pending Windows updates and installing them. Windows updates often include bug fixes and performance improvements that can help resolve issues with gaming.



If the issue persists, you can try running the games in compatibility mode. To do this, right-click on the game's shortcut or executable file, select Properties, and then click on the Compatibility tab. From there, you can select a previous version of Windows to run the game in compatibility mode.



Lastly, if none of the above steps work, you can try to disable your Anti-virus and Anti-malware.



I hope these steps help resolve the issue you're experiencing with your Windows 11 Xbox PC games crashing to the Windows screen. If still the issue persist you may check this website: Troubleshoot gameplay, performance, and stability issues on a Windows device | Xbox Support

yeah it used to **** out when connecting initially and to get around that you start with the moddable version, quit then load the normal version but even that is not working, tried on multiple networks now, looking more like it is windows trashy 11 causing the issues as windows 10 seems to crash less.

I believe I answered most of this already but for the sake of it

This started happening within the last week.

This happens to all xbox games on my pc. Some allow me to load into the game but crash within 30 mins, some dont allow me to load into the game at all and just crash immediately with no error code.

Yes all my drivers are up to date and my windows is up to date with no updates pending.

Im using the latest version of windows 11.

I have verified my file integrity on EACH game I have tried to run/load/play.

Unsure of what you mean about increasing virtual memory on my computer?

I have tried closing all non essential background programs/windows.

I really love using my mods, and on the other PC in my house that uses mods in the game, that computer actually doesn't/didn't crash. that one uses Windows 7, and mine uses Windows 11
