This is an issue I've had even since Windows 10. These are the issues I have with it:
- Xbox app launches but shows pulsing Xbox logo for 30 seconds or longer.
- Xbox app launches, but everything is stuck on a gray background as if my PC is extremely slow, or it's downloading the metadata of the icons in the background.
- Xbox app launches, but I can't click anything. Everything on screen looks normal, but I can't click them. If I hover over them, it can take up to a minute for it to register I'm hovering over something. Normally, if this happens, the app just crashes after me waiting for a few minutes.
I've looked online to see if others have these issues and while I see people are saying the app is bad, they don't go into detail as to what issues they're facing.
I've disabled services in the past I felt weren't needed in the background 24/7, so it could very well be I disabled something the Xbox app relies on. The services I've seen the Xbox app need are:
- AppX - Manual (Trigger Start) - I believe this only effects Microsoft Store, no?
- Gaming Services - There are 2 Gaming Services services. One is set to Automatic, the other Automatic (Trigger Start).
- IP Helper - Automatic.
- Storage Service - Automatic (Delayed Start, Triggered Start).
- Xbox Accessory Management Service - Manual.
- Xbox Live Auth Manager - Manual.
- Xbox Live Game Save - Manual.
- Xbox Live Networking Service - Manual.
- Windows Time - Automatic (Trigger Start) - time is automatically adjusting within Windows Settings.
All services above enabled, of course.
Are there any services I'm missing that the Xbox app relies on that I might have disabled?
