Windows 10: Desktop network drops when playing games and streaming

I set up my desktop properly together with strong network at house. At first, the connection was fine and there is no delay on gaming but right now the game will disconnect while on streaming. I updated my network and see if it is up to date. I checked other device and see if there is a problem, but the network is fine only in this desktop. I check if there is a problem with the cable, but it is all good. My PC is up to date as well. I have Windows 10

game scores and game progress

Hello,

To assist you further I would like to ask if you are playing the game online or from desktop.



If the game is installed and you are playing from the desktop, the issue might be caused due to compatibility of the game with Windows 10. I suggest you to install the game in compatibility mode by following the steps provided below and check if it helps.

• Download the setup files for the game from the game developers website and save it on your local disk.
• Right click on the setup file of the
  game and select “Properties”.
• Select “Compatibility” Tab.
• Place a check mark next to“Run this program in Compatibility mode” and select operating system from the drop down list.
• Let the game install and then check thefunctionality.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

Thank you.

 

​How to stream Xbox games to a Windows 10 PC?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern, and we in Community will try to help you in the best possible way we can.

I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• 
  Launch the Xbox app.
  
• 
  Sign in with your Xbox account and click the "Let's Play" button.
  
• 
  Turn on your Xbox One and make sure it is connected to the same network as your computer. You can check the network on the Xbox One by going to Settings, followed by Network. You will also want to make sure that game streaming
  is enabled. This can be found in the Preferences section of the Settings menu.
  
• 
  Select the "Connect" option from the left side bar of the Xbox app. Your Xbox should appear on the screen. If it doesn't, click enter the console's IP address. You can find the IP address for your Xbox One by going to Settings,
  clicking on Network, followed by Advanced settings.
  
• 
  Plug the Xbox One controller into the computer, select Stream, and begin gaming.
  

A recent update to Xbox app has also added a new "very high quality" streaming mode. You can change the quality of your stream in the Xbox app on Windows 10 by going to Settings, followed by Game Streaming. The "very high" option will require a fairly
high-end router and wireless network. If you experience choppy gameplay, lower the quality of the stream to high, medium, or low.

Hope the information helps, if you have any further queries, feel free to post. We are here to assist you.
