    Xbox App on Windows hangs


    Since latest update the Xbox app only works when I manually reset the app within windows

    After it is used for the first time subsequent attempts to connect to my Series X just hangs in a black screen

    Xbox App on Windows hangs

    Hi There,

    Thanks for the reply

    I dont believe there is anything wrong on the console side

    After resetting the Xbox app under windows the first time it connects to the console it works fine (can remote play games)

    When the app is closed and launched a second time is when it hangs

    Only started happening since latest update of the app

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Scott, in the link below displays the updates made on Xbox, sometimes some updates fix some bugs but others appear with them.

    I don't know what procedures you've tried, but if you haven't tried one yet, do a reset on your console while keeping games and Apps.

    Press the Xbox button to open the panel.

    Select system > system > console > system

    Select Reset console.

    Restore and maintain my games and apps.

    Rest assured, you won't miss games or saves

    Note - You need to know the email and passwords of your accounts when performing this reset.

    Hello again, the new update may have come with some kind of bug, in cases like this it remains only to wait for it to be fixed in the next update.

    Hi Sonne. There are some Windows 8 apps that are not optimized for portrait mode, Xbox Music included. The most we can do now is hang tight, and wait for an update to optimize the app. Cheers.

    Cannot log in to the PC game pass app.

    I also ran the windows store apps troubleshooter and the two errors that came up were

    -Hanging or crashing apps

    -service registration is missing or corrupt

    No advice on how to resolve these two issues though.
