Xbox app keeps minimizing

mr pancake50 · Jul 26, 2018

Hello, I usually stream gameplay from my xbox to my pc using the xbox app. this works fine most of the time, however anytime I go to my second monitor to go on a browser or something like that, it minimizes itself and I have to re-open it. this is really
annoying because I essentially cant use my computer while streaming my xbox. Is there anyway to fix this?

Option to sticky the app while using chrome Version 14.14.5005

I am running multiple monitors and was wondering is there a way to keep the xbox app open when you select chrome on the other screen?

I can open Internet explorer and keep the xbox app open but I use chrome for twitch plugins and when I click over to chrome the xbox app minimizes..

What would you want the next Xbox to have games or features?

PS3 apps are still only minimal compared to 360 apps.

Hi, Rowan. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

Please try the steps one at a time to resolve the issue.

Solution 1: Repair the Gaming Services app.

Please go to Settings > Apps > Apps Features. Select Gaming Services, then click Advanced options. Click the repair button, try launching the game again using the Xbox app and see if it works.

Solution 2: Uninstall and reinstall the Gaming Services App

Select the Search icon on the taskbar, type powershell, right-click on Windows PowerShell, and then select Run as administrator.

In Windows PowerShell, type the following command and press Enter:

get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers

In the same window, type the following command and press Enter:

start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

Install the app on that page and select Yes when you receive the User Account Control (UAC) prompt.

Restart your device and try to launch the app again and see if it works.

Solution 3:

Please open the PowerShell in admin mode and paste the following below:

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

Hello again Shisekin,

This is a rare thing to happen, does this happen with all games? If that is the case as you mentioned above, I prefer to release your question so that another expert or community member can provide you with better help. Alright?

I await your response to release your question.
