    Xbox App spying on Steam/GoG/Blizzard activity on Windows 10


    Hello,

    I opened my Xbox app on Windows 10 today and I can see under "recent" games that I was playing on other game platforms. My privacy settings are set, yet there is no "please do not spy on activity outside of the Xbox app" option. I don't want to see steam
    games in my xbox app. I don't want to see "you played a non-xbox game for 2hrs 5 days ago." Is there a way to stop this unacceptable invasion of privacy while remaining a loyal xbox customer? I like playing Cuphead now an again but I will delete this intrusive
    app if the spying cannot be stopped.

    If "sign out" is the only option...will the app repopulate what I played while signed out once I sign back in?

    :)

    The link you provided is no longer available. I too have an issue with microsoft/xbox having unauthorized access to the rest of my PC/ Steam. I agree with the original complaint. I find it highly intrusive for the Xbox app to remain on while the xbox
    app is not opened. I feel my privacy is violated to and extent for i do not wish to have people monitor my day to day life as i work and study on my computer since the xbox app broadcasts my appearance despite the app not being open. This seems to be a violation
    of privacy within the United states.

    Hello!

    Thanks for reaching out to us here on the forums with this situation. The app is designed to keep track of gaming on your Windows 10 PC. If this suggestion is something you'd like to see implemented I would recommend you voice it at
    Xbox Ideas. Find an available Idea Drive that says "Accepting Ideas" and post your idea there for review. Hope this helps.

    Playing a disc game that is eligible to play for PC

    The game is not even available on the Windows 10 store. It may be available to purchase from Steam, GOG or EA Origin.

    I have Xbox version of MK1 can I play it on a PC? Since I don't have Xbox console

    I dont even think Mortal Kombat 1 is on the xbox app/windows store, it would have to be purchased from steam, gog or epic.
