    I have been playing watch dogs 2 for a while, but only recently in 2021, this issue has started. I don't have NBA2K17 at all.

    Please can you fix this issue. This is very annoying.

    :)

    Hello @Tarven, I hope everything is going well for you!

    Thank you for reaching Microsoft Xbox Forum support.

    I am very sorry to know you are having such conveniences. Please do not worry about the situation because I am here to help you out!

    According to the explanation you have provided, I believe your console might need either a network reset or just a system refresh. Therefore, you will only need to follow those simple troubleshooting steps that I will provide you with and your issue should be fixed.

    The following troubleshooting step will help you clear out your MAC address:

    Settings > Network Settings > Advanced Settings > Alternate Mac Address > Clear it and the console should restart. It would definitely help if you could restart the internet router while the console is restarting.

    Another step that you can try to resolve the issue, would be to remove and re-add your account. In order to do that please go to: settings> account> remove accounts> remove your account.

    You could also try this troubleshooting step to clear any corrupted data from your device:

    1- Go to settings on your Xbox

    2- Select system

    3-Select storage

    4- Clear local saved games and your console will automatically restart

    Note: When doing this step please make sure that you always play online so that all your data is saved to the cloud

    If the issue still persists after going through the troubleshooting steps mentioned, I invite you to perform a quick power cycle by turning off the console and then unplugging all the cables. After 10-15 seconds plug all your cables back in and then restart your console.

    In case the issue still persists, the next step would be to perform a reset on the console. To do so you will need to follow the steps below to perform a reset on the Xbox :

    Settings > System > Console Info > Reset This Xbox > Reset and Keep my Games and Apps.

    Note =>The "Reset and Keep my Games and Apps" option will not cause losing your games, but please be aware that you need to be completely aware of the email address as well as the password of your account before going for it because it will require you to sign in to the account.

    I wish you a lovely day, and I hope this helps you out! All the best!

    Kind Regards

    Stay safe, and happy gaming

    I forgot to mention I am using Windows 10.

    It is the Game bar and Xbox apps that is misunderstanding Watch Dogs game, for "NBA2k17".

    What can I do to fix this? I don't want NBA showing in previously played games or as my status. In 2020, this was not an issue. I have started having this issue only recently.

    Family Share wouldn't have worked.

    The only people saying 10 playing at once are those against the feature. Those of us who were looking forward to it were under 1 of 2 impressions. 1) I'm playing Watch Dogs, 1 of the 10 can also play Watch Dogs or another game in my library while the other
    9 couldn't at that time. 2) I'm playing Watch Dogs, 1 of the 10 can play any other game in my library but that, while the other 9 couldn't at that time. Explain to me how that's any different than the current system. If I lend a disc, I can't play nor can
    anybody but who I loan it to. Except now neither of us have to drive to one another's house to give/take the disc.

    Watch Dogs install problem

    when I installed my Watch Dogs game on my xbox 360 it installs but then it ask's for disk 2 all the game says on the Screen Loading and that's all it does

    Help me.

    At the moment there is a free trial available for Watch dogs 2, the only option is to purchase watch dogs or play the free trial 👍
