Xbox PC App doesn't run at startup when I enable to run in background at startup

Kindly open Xbox app, click the profile menu in the top-left and select the Settings option. > General. Then turn off the “Automatically launch app at startup” option then clear the “Keep the app running in the background when I close it” option to prevent the app from running after closing the app.

Hi there Handsomegoat11,

Thanks for reaching out here in Xbox Forums. I understand there is an issue with running a game on your PC. Corrupted data may cause the app/game to not to work properly.



Here are two steps on how to isolate system issues:

• Method 1erform a clean boot, this helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows 10. Here is the
  linkon how to perform a clean boot.
  
• Method 2: Here is a link
  on how to download Apps Troubleshooter.
  

If the problem persists, Try this:

When you start Microsoft Windows, typically there are several programs that start automatically and run in the background that may interfere with the game. Programs may include antivirus and system utility programs. When you perform a clean startup
procedure, you prevent these programs from starting automatically.



Try this:

Perform a Clean Startup to determine whether background
programs are interfering with your games or programs.

Try this and let us know the results.

Good Morning Anderson,

This app doesn't have the option for a open file location so I can't put the link on the startup folder as you suggested with Windows logo key + R, type shell:startup.

I can create a link over the desktop and then put it in the startup folder but the options that I wish to use run minimized doesn't work at all.

I may not have a lot of knowledge over windows but in the past, this app launched after login and in the background all being choosen on the apps settings and now even if those options are checked the app doesn't lauch at all.

So your statement that if there isn't a link the app can't launch at startup is erroneous for this case. If this information is recent (last two months) and is the cause of my problem then my apologies.
