    Game won't launch


    I have a game downloaded via the game pass on the Microsoft store on PC. It was working fine a few days ago, and I haven't made any new updates since then. But, now when I go to open it, it shows a loading cursor and then nothing. When I click on it again, it reads that it is already running. In the task manager it is running. But, there is no window or visual/audio indication that it is running, when usually it will pop right up. Does anyone have any ideas that may resolve this?

    :)

    Launching games

    Hi Wesley,

    Windows 10 is gamer-friendly by design. If an issue like being unable to launch a game happens, it can be caused by outdated display driver or other factors that cause conflict when launching the app. For us to better assist you, we'd like to ask for additional
    information. Please answer the following:

    • What build and version of Windows 10 are you using?
    • Are you getting an error message when launching the game?
    • Have you made any changes to the settings or installed updates prior to this issue?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    • What specific games are you having issues with?

    We will wait for your response.
