    Xbox app on two seperate Windows machines keeps closing down right after opening


    Every time I try to launch an xbox app to play Game Pass games the app just minimizes to tray. It happens on both my laptop and PC, so it can't be related to only one device. I think it started happening recently, in the past I was able to play it without a problem.

    Suspend and resuming multiple apps confusion.

    Can anyone from support PLEASE confirm how many apps the xbox one should keep open at once.

    Just to clarify, i dont mean snap mode, with two apps side by side, but the machines ability to have multiple apps open at once.

    I have a suspicion my console is not functioning correctly as i can only reliably have two apps open at once, the others close down.

    Thanks.

    Forza Motorsport 7 Not Starting

    Close the Xbox app and Microsoft Store.

    Type ''wsreset'' in the Windows bar, right-click and run as administrator, wait for the screen to close and open the store automatically, download any app from the store (you can delete the app later), after downloading the app try to play again.

    Play anywhere on Forza Horizon 4 for PC not working

    Hi Brad,

    Thank you for the welcome and for the confirmation that it is possible to install on multiple devices. Knowing this is very helpful. I have followed your advice and signed out of the Xbox Live App on my one machine, and then even turned the machine off after
    logging out. I then logged on to my 2nd machine, loaded the Xbox Live App and started the Forza Horizons 4 game. The same result unfortunately. The game hangs on the opening screen, and then after around 2 minutes just closes the window.

    Any other ideas?

    Regards

    Lourens

    my server connectivity is blocked

    Try the solution below, please.

    Click search and type in Services, open it.

    Scroll down until you find an entry called "IP Helper", right-click it, then click restart.

    Scroll all the way down to the bottom and do the same thing for "Xbox Live Networking Service"

    Close the window, open the Xbox app and check your connection again.
