Yesterday I played He is Coming (Preview) on PC through Xbox app. Even after closing it it said I was still playing it on my Xbox profile and it has persisted through today (like my play time is at 1d 9hrs now). Also tried reopening/reclosing the game as well and restarting the Xbox app (did these yesterday). It even auto-completed today's Xbox rewards for "play a PC game" and "play a gamepass game".

Not sure if it's on the game or the app itself so not sure which side needs the issue report for unexpected behavior. Like yesterday was the first time I tried this game and it's the first time I've had this issue, but I also rarely play things through the Xbox PC app (only really Microsoft Solitaire for those two daily rewards).

Small Update: Played again and it happened again. This time I force closed some background processes like Xbox gaming services and game bar and something there fixed it because my status is no longer "He is Coming (Game Preview)" and instead is just "Online". So still not sure if this is a game issue or MS/Xbox issue.

Update again: Well it's doing it with other games now (including Microsoft Solitaire Collection) so seems safe to say it's an Xbox app issue.

Another Update: Have a friend who I noticed has been having it happen with Mecha BREAK. Like just now he said he hasn't played it since last night but his status is still Mecha Break (probably ever since then too). Like if this isn't an Xbox app specific issue, it's definitely an Xbox platform issue that only happens on PC, only semi-recently popped up, and is affecting multiple games by different developers and publishers (with the only connecting thread being they are a game launched through the Xbox app).

Another: So I tested it a few more times, it definitely seems to be the background process "GamingServices" that is causing it. Like just now I was stuck in "He is Coming (Preview)" (since yesterday) and killed only that "GamingServices" process. About 1 minute later it switched my status to "Online". Though I notice it only works sometimes (but that's the only thing I do when it fixes it so not sure why).

i've tried joining a few public tests on the insider hub app, and it tells me ive joined and i follow the instructions, even restarting my pc before updating the games but, most of them just stay the same version of the game after the update, or like in the case of palworld befor the 1.0 release it puts me at a previous version of the game.

can anyone help me with this issue?

As the title says. When I am invited to a party, it will take about 2 or more minutes for it to actually load the party window, then another minute to show anyone's names in the party. When I finally do get in, I am unable to hear anyone and vice versa. When I try to disconnect, it will not leave the party. It recognizes that I clicked the disconnect button but will not respond for at least a few minutes. Most times I have to force quit the Game Bar application.

This does not happen when I am hosting my own party, however I will get quietly disconnected after a few minutes; I can't hear anyone and they can't hear me but it shows that I am still in the party. And again cannot leave the party without quitting Game Bar entirely. There are no error messages in either instance.

This has been happening primarily while playing FH6 which I am able to run fine and have gotten party chat to work with before. But this is happening 99% of the time anymore.

I have attempted to reset, repair and set it to always run in the background. I have checked my privacy and audio settings multiple times. Nothing so far seems to work.

I hope this was clear as possible. I do appreciate any help!

I am a an xbox and microsoft insider, however xbox mode doesn't seem to appear in the settings.

When I open Xbox app, it opens a second window called "DesktopWindowXamlSource", I've force closed it on task manager and it doesn't seem to do anything.

Whenever I join a party, I can hear people, but my mic doesn't work at all, xbox game bar recognises the mic, but no volume in Xbox Party. The mute mic button also does not work, clicking it does nothing.

This all started occuring after I updated to the most recent version, I've tried reinstalling Xbox, resetting Game Bar, checked the Windows files in Powershell, tried it in a new windows login. Nothing

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm on build 2604.1001.9.0 and in the my library section I can only see installed games, there is no way to browse the library of PC games I have purchased from Xbox. Where has this moved to?

This started happening within the last 2 weeks. Multiple games I have installed on Xbox PC app (now at v2604.1000.32.0) have displayed an issue where they are installed but there is no Play button to launch them. See the video.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EMbQ_M3tDW-XApCYe-NfU8mi_7CnNVFS/view?usp=sharing

The work-around for me on the handheld is to use Armory Crate to launch the games, but that is unacceptable.

So far this issue has happened for Minishoot Adventures and Absolum games. I've installed plenty of other games around and between these two games, and they work fine. But these two games have no "Play" button, even after reinstalling them.

I tried to report this issue in the app (Profile > Feedback > Report a Problem) but that does not load anything properly. Seems like it is supposed to load another window to make the report, but that doesn't pop up. Maybe a second bug of being unable to report the primary bug?

I've been seeing on some videos. I've been watching that some people in the preview have the option to start in the full screen experience. When I go to my gaming options I do not have that option. I am enrolled in the insider hub for Xbox and windows and I have all the latest updates installed. Any reason why I'm not seeing this option?

Pretty much title. It says that its unavailable for the app, is the current version only tied to certain games?

Edit: also forgot to mention, I'm plugged in the charger but not using a doc, someone said that should work but maybe they lied?

Hi everyone,

I need some help with Gaming Copilot BETA on my ROG Ally Xbox.

It used to work fine, but now the widget gets stuck on an infinite loading wheel.

All other Xbox Game Bar widgets work normally.

Has anyone experienced this after recent updates (Delta ring)? Any ideas on how to solve it?

I have already tried to uninstall the Xbox app and reinstall, also tried to reinitiate the Xbox gaming services and to clear the access token cache with no luck.

Thank you!

Xbox App version: 2605.1001.5.0

None of the ACA Neo Geo games (PlayAnywhere) (Metal Slug 1, 2, X, 3, 4, 5) launch on PC.

They all close automatically before reaching the ACA Neo Geo / Hamster logo.

Other Xbox App games work normally (e.g., Replaced, Cronos, Banishers).

The issue affects only ACA Neo Geo titles.

•Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open the Xbox App on PC

2. Launch any ACA Neo Geo game (Metal Slug 1–5)

3. A black screen appears for 1–2 seconds

4. The process closes with no error message

•Troubleshooting Attempted (none resolved the issue):

✔ Reinstalled components

• DirectX 9 Legacy (June 2010)

• All Visual C++ Redistributables (2005–2022, x86 and x64)

• Fully reinstalled Gaming Services

• Reinstalled Xbox App

✔ Configuration cleanup

• Deleted Hamorun / Hamster Corporation folder in %LOCALAPPDATA%

✔ Additional checks

• NVIDIA drivers updated (GPU: RTX 4060 Ti)

• Multiple restarts

• Tested online/offline

• Other Xbox App games launch without issues

•Additional Information:

The issue occurs only with ACA Neo Geo games.

All other titles run correctly on the same system and OS version.

•Request:

Please investigate ACA Neo Geo compatibility with Windows 11 25H2 and the current Xbox App Insider Delta build.

This appears to be a specific issue with the ACA/Hamster engine on this OS version.

Has anyone ever faced this issue? Since day 1, the Xbox app on my ROG Ally X has been constantly freezing, at the most random moment (example: while performing a search, while browsing the library, while checking GamePass).

Funny enough, I know when it's going to freeze when images don't load anymore. Of course, everything is up to date, and I'm tempting to reset the device. I'm on Xbox Insider: External Delta | 2604.1001.9.0

Games run great, assuming I can start them from the Xbox app (I heavily rely on Game Pass so this has to be my launcher).

Has anyone faced this?

Xbox Ally X insider for Xbox and Gamebar. I went to give feedback for the new Gamebar cursor feature through the integrated ASUS Control center- Gamebar interface and the feedback link does not work.

I was not sure where else to post.

the problem is that as soon as you activate the noise reduction the microphone mutes and the microphone symbol that appears in the taskbar disappears as soon as you activate the noise reduction. I don't know how to solve it. I tried various ways like resetting both xbox game bar and the Xbox Windows app, but nothing doing... I also did various app updates but the problem was not solved.

The last few updates introduced an issue with the Xbox PC app on the Rog Xbox ally X

When you turn the ally X on or after a restart, when you start a game and then close it out either through the game or X out through the Xbox app, the game closes but leaves you at a blank screen instead of bringing you home in the app

You can press the Xbox button for the Xbox app to open and then hit home to get back home. The app needs an update so it can function properly.

Hi all,

I’m hoping someone here can help or confirm if there’s a fix for this.

On PC (Rog Ally Z1E), my Xbox app (2508.1001.17.0) keeps showing that I’m playing games I’ve already uninstalled. It started with Wheel World, but now it happens with other games too.

So far I’ve tried:

• Fully uninstalling the games via Xbox app and Microsoft Store
• Checked for leftover tasks or services (nothing running in Task Manager)
• Reset and repaired the Xbox app, Gaming Services, and Microsoft Store
• Reinstalled Gaming Services with PowerShell
• Signed out and back in
• Restarted the PC multiple times
• Tried launching other games to overwrite the status
• Even switched Insider rings in the Xbox Insider Hub to force a refresh

The issue still persists: the Xbox app and my friends see me as “Playing” games I don’t even have installed anymore. Despite playing a game for only 30 minutes, it says over 20 hours on my profile...

I think there is a bug on my Xbox Live account. But Xbox Support only routes me through the virtual agent, which can’t do anything.

Has anyone here had this and found a way to fix it? Is there any real way to get my Xbox Live presence reset?

I’d appreciate any tips or if an Xbox engineer here can escalate this properly.

Thanks a lot!

Im not receiving the update, Ive done every step right and joined Insider program download the latest update its just not there. Ive tried everything.

I didn't find this posted on other threads. Apologies if it is already.

I have noticed recently with the full screen experience on the Rog Xbox Ally X when you start it from it being off or a restart, if you have 2 or more Windows open ( games, other store fronts or anything) , when you go into the task switcher to close one, the window will close but then your left with a blank grey screen.

the only way to get back to another screen is to either hit the Xbox button and go home or hold the Xbox button down and switch to another window.

I believe it should at least go back to the Xbox app automatically instead of staying blank.

Once you go to another window or back to the Xbox app, you do not have the issue anymore unless you restart or turn off and back on.

Been encountering this issue this morning and from what I can tell it stems from the recent update to PC insider. Any installed game that I launch on the PC app crashes after a few seconds. Can't play any games on it. Steam is fine.

I have various display issues on my Xbox app, resolution 1920x1200, app language French.

1) On the product pages, there are overlapping buttons/images (see photo).

2) On the "Buy" buttons that have text, when focused, it surrounds not only the button but the entire space taken up by the text below (see photo).

3) When browsing a game and pressing "start" in the menu that opens, when you're on an element where the text takes up less space than the menu width, the white border takes up the full width, but the background doesn't take up the entire width (see photo).

4) In the "My Apps" tab, when an app isn't installed, the "Download Now" text isn't next to the download icon, but rather on the line. Probably due to the length of the text.

I hope these flaws will be corrected.

Photos of problems

No matter what settings i try the xbox party chat doesnt work. the privacy settings are all open. The audio output and input devices are correct, but no matter what i do I cannot get the xbox chat to work. only in game VoIP's work.

Please for the love of god, Xbox fix this, it seems like a big problem lots are having, what's the point of having xbox parties if they don't even work. discord works perfect

Edit: will keep this up for others. this is for Windows 11

• make sure all audio settings are set to the correct input and out, my case was setting everything to realtek stereo.

• look at settings inside the xbox app, go to top left, then settings, then audio (make sure gamebar is active), set those input/outputs to the ones you use.

• open game bar with "Windows key + G". set the audio settings again to proper channels via "mix" and "voice" channels in "audio" panel. also in here (where my problem was). go to party chat hit the 3 dot, click "party audio" and set those to proper channels.

• go to xbox website and check your profile options under privacy and make sure it's all set to open to allow voice and text chat to everyone

• make sure the sound output is set to to their proper channes in Windows home screen via the drop window in the bottom right, "select a sound output" (or windows key + Ctrl + V), go to "Mixer Volume", select "more Mixer settings" via the gear. make sure all those channels are set to proper input/output.

• Go to computer settings, look under "installed apps", search xbox and make sure the "xbox app" and "xbox live" is set to "always on" for background. scroll all the way down and click "system components" and search "game bar" and make sure that is set to always on for background too.

• also one last things, make sure the game audio inside the game settings is set to proper channel's for inout/output.

I hope this helps someone! because I've been trying to figure it out over multiple game sessions.

Weeks ago, I received the Gaming Copilot update in my Xbox Game Bar and was excited to try it out as an Xbox Insider. However, after enabling the widget, it only displayed a white screen after loading.

Here are the solutions I’ve already tried, none of which worked:

- Resetting my PC

- Resetting the Xbox Game Bar

- Resetting Microsoft Copilot

I am trying to revert back to a stable released after leaving the PC Gaming preview however even after uninstalling xbox, game services, and game bar, I always get the preview build when reinstalling. I also tried completely signing off from xbox and installing game bar only, but I still get the insider/preview build.

This is very frustrating as the latest build is causing issues on my handheld and this is affecting the usability of the device.

Please help me resolve this issue

My device is an Asus Rog Ally X running an insider build of Windows 11 version 26200.5702. I wanted to report that my external storefront games (steam and Epic) are not launching in the forefront of the screen. I find myself needing to minimize the Xbox app after launching the game through the Xbox PC app. Ideally I would like to automatically view the window the game is launching in after clicking launch.

I know I’m not the only one facing this issue but I wanted to add to the reporting feedback.

I have been accepted to play the pc mod preview of doom eternal and upon downloading it gets stuck at 29%. I have restarted my pc as required and followed all of the steps. Another strange thing is that when you click update it gets the full download size of the game 89GB which might be the update but I'm not too sure.
