  1. Certain games refuse to work where everything else does


    HiSo there are 3 games and one specific DLC of one game that refuses to work on my PC and none of them really have anything in common. It's driving me nuts trying to fix it cause nothing I find online has done anything! I've uninstalled drivers, booted into safe mode, clean boots, rolled back to old drivers, sfc scans, everything that I could relating to the error. And my temps are always fine.Those 3 games and specific DLC are: - Cyberpunk 2077- Warframe- Specifically the Arms Race DLC for Borderlands 3 and nowhere else in that game- Tiny Tina's Wonderlands anytime I raise the settings higher

  2. Certain games won't work after a factory reset

    Hello Dante,

    To help us identify the cause of the issue and then find the proper resolution for it, please provide the following information:

    • Did you install your games using the Microsoft Store?
    • Do you receive any error message?

    Since you mentioned that you performed a factory reset, outdated video can cause this issue. For now, we suggest updating your video card driver. To do it, you can follow the steps in this
    article.

    Keeps us posted to further assist you.

    Game bar wont work for certain games?

    Hi,

    There are several possible explanations as to why the Game bar is not working with some of your games. Here's a list of the common factors:

    • Compatibility issues with the game and the Windows 10 PC
    • An outdated version of the game
    • An outdated Windows 10 OS
    • Incompatible hardware
    • The device doesn't meet the game requirements.

    For us to have a better overview of your concern, kindly answer the following questions:

    • What are the affected games?
    • From which site have you downloaded the affected games?
