  1. Microsoft PC game just exits app if I press “space” to start


    I just installed Two Point Hospital on my PC through Microsoft store and I currently have it open in front of me. On the screen says “Press Space to Start” but whenever I do, it just exits the application really quick, showing a windowed black box, then returns to the previous full screen of “Press Space to Start.”


    No other button works, I can’t exit I’ve tried restarting but the initial problem still persists.


    What can I do to fix this?

    I press space... and the following screen pops up for a solid 2 seconds before returning to the original game screen.

    We also recommend accessing the game from the Start menu. Here are the steps:

    • Press the Windows button on your device or keyboard, or select the Windows icon in the lower-left corner of the main screen.
    • Select All apps, and then find your game in the list. Check if you encounter the same issue.

    We also recommend signing in to a different user profile. This can help determine if this is due to corrupted user profile. Here are the steps:

    • Press the Windows button on your device or keyboard, or select the Windows icon from the bottom-left corner of the main screen.
    • Select your account name from the top-left corner of the menu, and then select Switch account.
