Windows 10: Problems with games on Windows 10.

Hi! I recently bought the xbox gamepass for pc subscription and I have been having some problems. I've been having input lag, so for example, my pointer is always a bit behind my real mouse when its moving. It only happens with windows 10 games, whenever I use apps such as steam it doesn't happen. How can i fix it?And just today whenever I try to open any games on the xbox app, it lauches the microsoft store app, in the page shown in the image below. How can I fix this?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
