  1. Question regarding custom game install locations via XBox app on Win10.


    I've installed Forza Horizon 5 to D:\XBoxGames on my system, however crash reports list the main exe as residing in a subdirectory off C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\.Hoping someone can please explain whether this is expected behaviour and if yes why it works this way vs putting all the game files in the selected location. Thank you.

    :)

    remove game data from xbox game in windows 10

    I appreciate your reply. It seems that the game progress was saved to your Xbox account associated on your computer that's why you can't play the game from the beginning. I recommend that you remove the account on your computer by performing the following
    steps:

    1. Press the Windows icon, then select the gear icon to access Settings.
    2. Select Accounts.
    3. Under Email & app accounts, click the Microsoft account, then click Remove.

    I also suggest that you reset the Xbox app on your computer so that we could ensure that no account is linked to it. To get started, kindly follow these steps:

    1. Press the Windows key, then select the gear icon to access Settings.
    2. Go to Apps.
    3. Under Apps & features, locate the Xbox app.
    4. Click the Xbox app, then select Advanced options.
    5. Click Reset.

    Let us know if that works for you. We'd be glad to further assist you.

    Question Regarding Xbox One Games Streaming on Win 10


    I did not want to start a new thread, but had a question regarding the Streaming option.
    Xbox App on Win10 is updated to the latest, but when I go to stream, it says that my Xbox or Xbox App needs to be updated still??

    I have been trying to find forums and people online that have similar issues, but have been unsuccessful.
    Is there something that i need to download on my Xbox at all? The settings are also enabled on my Xbox one.
