Windows 10: i am trying to home stream from my xbox to pc and i cant seem to minimise the window when...

Hi, I used to be able to go from full screen to windowed mode in the console companion app when in home streaming from Xbox to PC. Now it’s only full screen.


There’s no arrow button to shrink down to window from full screen. I’ve tried it on two PCs to see if it was a specific install. Has this feature been removed?

Troubleshooting Xbox app game streaming on Windows 10

 

xbox game streaming not working on pc

Thanks for responding, i have already tried everything in that forum article and the phone support has tried everything with me too

things that i tried:

• changing wifi networks
• resetting my computer
• reinstalling the Xbox app
• resetting the Xbox
• changing just about every setting in the Xbox and the Xbox app
• changing settings in the router
• reinstalling drivers on my computer
• using different controllers

Also when I open the Xbox app on my pc sometimes i am able to connect when the Xbox is turned on but not if it is off(it is set to instant on), but once I'm connected i can test game streaming and it will say all good but when i actually go to use it the
app just crashed with no error code.

Also i do not know if this is related or not but the home screen in the Xbox app just shows "something went wrong while loading this info" and whenever i try to view my friends captures the app will crash and I've also found out that the app will just freeze
up when i try to join a party.

try them in order to see which works best for you.
