Xbox on PC Window Size

Z_A_S · Feb 21, 2019

Is there a way to stop Xbox games from playing in a FullScreen when on the PC? I want to be able to have YouTube running on one side of my screen while I play the game on the other.

Are you streaming from your Xbox to PC, or are there certain games that you're trying to use in a windowed mode?

Hey there!

Depending on the game, there might be settings for each particular game regarding "fullscreen" vs "windowed". If set to windowed, it would allow you to split your monitor with both applications.

But again, it's dependent on whichever game you're playing.

Formatting on a PC is not advised. Windows uses optimized settings for...Windows. Cluster size can be changed by Windows to be optimized for performance on Windows. The Xbox 360 is picky about what cluster size it can use. If it's the wrong cluster size,
the Xbox won't even give you the option to format, it'll just outright refuse to show you or recognize your drive. Only use Windows to format it if your 360 can't recognize your drive to begin with. Keep in mind there's a 5-15 second mounting time depending
on how large your drive is.

Then why didnt it work? Im confused.

Check with your mobile provider which MTU size they allow.

If I'm not mistaken, the Xbox support a minimum size of 1368 bytes of MTU.

If your provider can't answer you that question, I suggest that you connect your PC to the hotspot and try to ping (e.g Google) with "-l" value set to check the MTU size. Feel free to google how to test the MTU size with Windows cmd.
