Xbox Console Companion app link shows in Desktop

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



It could be due to Display drivers, I suggest you to try updating the Display drivers and check if the problem persists. Please follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + X, and select
   Device Manager.
   
2. Expand Display adapters.
   
3. Right click on the display driver and select
   Update Drivers.
   
4. Restart the computer if prompted.
   

Article for reference: Update drivers in Windows 10.



Alternatively, you can also try resetting the Xbox Console Companion application and check if that removes the link. Please refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the section
Repair apps and programs from the article
Repair or remove programs in Windows 10.



Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.

XBOX COnsole Companion doesn't work- use Xbox Console Companion - Beta

FYI

Windows store sells and trades via XBOX Live Ultimate for PC, games and though I have found this question. "Xbox for PC game doesn't start"; I haven't found any answers. The problem is with Xbox console companion which has become updated in new form XBOX
Console Companion-Beta.

I usually have given up when there is no starting a game and after resetting or reinstalling game fails, and I would have missed this for I seldom install beta software, but I wanted to play this game. The game did not sign in properly using the Xbox Companion,
which is necessary to run the game.

Simply sign-in to games using Xbox Console Companion-Beta.

 

message from xbox console companion sticks on screen

Hi Ed, my name is Max and I'm an independent advisor.

I understand that you receive messages from the Xbox Console Companion app.

What message do you get?

However, I advise that you try to uninstall the Xbox Console Companion app from your device and then reinstall it.

To do it, follow the steps:

1. Go to the Settings -> Apps -> Apps & features.

2. Find Xbox Console Companion app ->Uninstall.

3. Once it is uninstalled, go to the store to install the app.
