    Why won't Xbox app game launch?


    I installed Sea of Thieves through the Xbox app and when I try to open it it gives me the little minimized window with the name of the game and then it closes after a couple of seconds. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the game and I made sure everything on my PC is up to date. What is going on?

    :)

    Xbox app closes on launch

    Thanks for the reply, unfortunately...

    • Has any new software or hardware been added recently? No.
    • Did you also change any settings prior to this issue? No.
    • Is there any error message? None.
    • For the Xbox app issue, have you also tried the suggestions posted by Syed Md Bilal in this thread?
      Quite a few people found it helpful. - I did try this (for the Xbox and Photos app) and it made absolutely no difference.
    I'd appreciate any additional suggestions. I'm still unable to use either the Xbox or Photos app. I'd really like to use them.

    Get Windows 10 App won´t launch

    Hello all,

    I hope someone can help me. Finally after a lot of manual updates, my Get Windows 10 app is showing in the taskbar.

    However, now when I left click it, right click Get Windows 10, right click Check your Update status, the app launches and immediately closes down again.

    The options Go to Windows Update and Get to know Windows 10 do work.

    Just the app won´t launch. Anyone ideas?

    Windows 7 Home Premium

    Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz

    8.00 GB RAM
