I was looking into why my 500GB M.2 boot drive is getting low on disk space. I have my computer configured so that most of my Personal Folders Music, Pictures, Downloads, etc are on their own SSD. Additionally, most of the programs I have installed are configured to have all of their data/support files on a drive other than my boot drive. When I searched for information about the MSIXVC folder, I found the following post in the forum [https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/anyone-care-to-explain-the-msixvc-folder/a2b205e9-9990-4876-a400-632cf3d1e843], which indicates t

New Idea Drives Just for You: Designed for Xbox and PC Game Bar Xbox

Greetings, Xbox Insiders! We’ve just launched a new pair of idea drives and are looking for your participation and input to help Team Xbox. If this is your first time hearing about Xbox Ideas, then you should know that Idea Drives are focused on a specific area and contain three different phases (Collection, Voting and Results). The information we gather from Idea Drives is then shared with various teams across Xbox!

We’re very excited about these new Idea Drives and can’t wait to see what ideas you have brewing.

Designed for Xbox

From fight sticks to racing wheels, network adapters to headsets, there is a wide variety of accessories available for the Xbox One and Windows 10 devices, but is there something that you think is missing? Some peripheral that you think would make your gaming experience that much better? Here’s your chance to contribute and let Team Xbox know what’s missing, what you would like to see, and perhaps even a brand or manufacturer you’d like to see partner with Team Xbox on creating licensed hardware.

Some of the user suggestions so far include:

“Xbox Should Create Wired Versions of Controllers”

“Support the use of a USB WiFi Adapter on the console”

PC Game Bar

Do you like to record your gameplay on Windows 10 and share it with your friends? How about creating highlight reels or compilation videos? What kind of features would you like easy access to while playing a game? Team Xbox is looking for your contributions on how you would like to use Game Bar in Windows 10 right before, during, and after finishing a gaming session.

Take some time to explore the current Game Bar by pressing Win + G while playing a game on PC, then swing by the Idea Drive with your thoughts and feedback. A few examples of existing user ideas include:

“Add a Battery Indicator for Connected Controllers”

“Let Users Voice and Chat via Text Directly Through Game Bar”

Announcing the Xbox Live Creators Program

Today at GDC we announced the launch of Xbox Live Creators Program, starting with an Insider Preview that gives any developer the opportunity to publish Xbox Live-enabled games on Windows 10 PCs along with Xbox One consoles.

The Creators Program provides game developers access to Xbox Live sign-in, presence and select social features that can all be integrated with their UWP games, and then they can publish their game to Xbox One and Windows 10. This means your title can be seen by every Xbox One owner across the Xbox One family of devices, including Project Scorpio this holiday, as well as hundreds of millions of Windows 10 PCs.

What do you get with the Xbox Live Creators Program?

First, we are opening publishing to the Xbox One console. With the Xbox Live Creators Program, you can ship your UWP game on Xbox One, Windows 10 PC, or simultaneously on both platforms. And because Xbox One offers players a curated store experience, games from the Creators Program will appear in a new, distinct Creators game section in the Store.

Second, we’re making it easy to integrate with Xbox Live using the Xbox Live Creators SDK. Take advantage of the following capabilities:

Xbox Live sign-in and profile, including gamertag.

Xbox Live presence, recently played and activity feed.

Xbox Live social, including friends, Game Hubs, clubs, party chat, gameDVR and Beam broadcast.

Xbox Live leaderboards and feature stats.

Title Storage and Connected Storage.

Any developer who wants to take advantage of more Xbox Live capabilities and development and marketing support for their game should apply and enroll into the ID@Xbox program.

What tools can I develop with?

The Creators Program enables you to easily integrate Xbox Live into your existing UWP projects. Supported game engines include Construct 2, MonoGame, Unity and Xenko, and they all create beautiful games. Others may also work. And, you can develop games for the console without a Dev Kit.

How do I get started?

Join the Developer Preview at https://developer.microsoft.com/game...oxlive/creator. This will give you access to Creator’s Program configuration pages is Dev Center.

Download and start using the Xbox Live Creators SDK.

While the Xbox Live Creators Program is in limited release to insiders, you can integrate and configure services using the SDK and the Dev Center. However, you will not be able to publish to the Store. We’ll be enabling publishing in the near future, so stay tuned!
