Xbox One Smartglass app for Windows 8.1 opening screen only

My Xbox One SmartGlass app won't even start on my PC(Windows 8.1). It show the startup screen with the logo on, and paaaw the app shuts down. Any suggestions?

I have the exact same issue. Windows 8.1 and I open SmartGlass (release and beta versions), and get a green window. Then it kind of crashes by minimizing the window but not actually launching, you can click the app to make the green screen pop back up for
a second only to minimize again but not actually load.

Just to rule out the one reason that made it not work for me: Are you using the "Xbox One Smartglass" app on your Windows 8.1? It's a different, new app to the old Smartglass app you used to connect to your Xbox 360.

Follow the download link(s) on the bottom of this page to get the correct app: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/smartglass

I have done this but it doesn't help solve my issue.

I have found another post on the issue so others are experiencing it.

Have also factory reset xbox that didn't fix.

This is Windows related as the issue occurs on Surface 3 (xbox app and smartglass) , Lumia 950XL (xbox app and smartglass) and Lumia 820 running 8.1 (smartglass only as no xbox app)

However

Galaxy S7 running Android scrolling in Netflix works fine.

I hope that's what he's referring to. I've noticed this on Xbox.com, Windows Phone 8 Games, and Windows 8.1 Games ... I know MS wants everyone to go download Xbox One Smartglass; but I hope that the fact that Smartglass is the only way to view this content
outside of an Xbox One console isn't intentional. It really shouldn't be that difficult to get the Xbox One data transcoded for compatibility for older formats ... Or, alternatively, to upgrade Xbox.com and the Games apps in Windows Phone and Windows 8.x so
that they are capable of displaying Xbox One and legacy device activity.
