  1. Xbox App on Windows 10 sluggish


    Hi,

    The app itself loads and logs me in very quickly, but everything I do on the app itself seems sluggish.

    If I right click something, i have to wait a few seconds for the options to appear.

    I have the latest NVIDEA drivers for my 1060 graphics card, and i have checked my device manager for updates.

    My internet is fine at over 100 MB/s and everything else runs fine.

    Any suggestions?

    :)

  3. Can the Windows Store verify an existing installation of game(s) downloaded previously or from files from another computer? Similar to Steam et al

    Hi there Nor,

    Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, you will need to click the install to download any digital content for PC.

    If you have a Windows 10 device, you can now use the Xbox app to connect to the Xbox Live service.

    If you’re having problems installing the Games for Windows Live app, or connecting to the Xbox Live service, see

    Troubleshoot Games for Windows Live connection problems
    .

    For other gaming options, see:

    Hope this helps.

    Xbox App on Windows 10 sluggish

    Hi Onyx Parasite,

    Having a corrupted app file is one of the possible reasons why the Xbox app is not working properly and it takes time to load the options. To rectify this concern, I need more information. Kindly answer the questions below:

    • Are you experiencing this concern with your other application?
    • When did the issue start?
    • Have you made any changes on your computer prior to this concern?
    • Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Xbox app?

    Meanwhile, I suggest that you run the troubleshooter for Windows apps using the link below. This can help remove conflicts with an app from Microsoft Store.

    Xbox app freezing when being left open (unused) for a certain length of time

    I've noticed another strange issue with the Xbox app.

    I've been using Windows Live Mail for years, and I still use it with Windows 10. Just recently, I've noticed that it sometimes freezes up and stops responding. What happens is, in the main view, I can still see the list of accounts/folders on the left, but
    the area showing the list of emails and the preview pane is greyed over. When I try and do anything with the program, it says it's not responding.

    This appears to be caused by the Xbox app. Today I had both Windows Live Mail and the Xbox app open. Windows Live Mail started experiencing the issue I mentioned above, and the Xbox app had become its usual sluggish self after being left open for a while,
    so I closed the Xbox app and noticed that Windows Live Mail instantly sprang back to life and started working just fine.

    Microsoft Solitaire Collection And Windows 8.1

    I really like to play tri peaks, but as soon as Windows 8.1 update or upgrade, whatever everyone calls it. It is sluggish and sound issues. It worked smoothly and perfect in Windows 8.0, but as soon as 8.1 was installed and even all the driver updates do
    nothing to fix the issues this game has. It is a App issue. This app needs a new update fix for Windows 8.1. I tried other games from XBOX like mahjong and others and they run fine in Windows 8.1. It is this App only. Until someone here from XBOX or Microsoft
    decides to fix this, then the game is never installed again or played by me. My mother won't even update or upgrade to Windows 8.1, because of this.

    I even contacted BestBuy and Toshiba, and they won't do anything, because it is an App issue. So far I see a lot complaining about this App not doing what it should be doing in Windows 8.1, but nothing is being done to fix it. Such a fun game ends up being
    no fun, when it is sluggish and no sound.
