Windows 10: Why does game freeze at the bottom of the second page the top choice?

I am trying to locate and play the Centenary Course at Gleneagles. I want to play a tournament and this course is required. Would you please advise me where I can locate the course and download it to play the tournament?Also, can you please tell me why my Links 2003 game freezes at the second page when the first selection is chosen? Every time I choose the first option on the page, it instantly freezes and reverts back to saying I need Gleneagles.I would appreciate a reply as soon as possible. Thanking you in advance, I remainJerry Hutson901-421-1212 Phone

Microsoft Gaming Services causing freezes in other games with xvd drivers

I also have this issue. Playing Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, or other non-Xbox games I'll frequently encounter "double hitches"--a 1-2 second freeze followed by 1-2 seconds of accelerated gameplay followed by another 1-2 second freeze--that coincide with "Disk n was surprise removed" events in the Event Viewer.

I've spent a lot of time troubleshooting it and found that I can workaround the problem for non-Xbox games (e.g. Steam games) by doing these steps. BUT, this workaround causes Xbox games to become unlaunchable. Do these steps at your own risk.

1. In Device Manager, enable "Show hidden devices".
   
2. Find the XVDD SCSI Miniport device under the 'Storage Controllers' group
   
3. Disable the XVDD SCSI Miniport device.
   
4. Restart the PC.
   

To restore Xbox games to working order, you'll need to re-enable the XVDD SCSI Miniport device, which isn't as easy. Follow these steps:

1. In Device Manager, enable "Show hidden devices".
   
2. Find the XVDD SCSI Miniport device under the 'Storage Controllers' group. Observe that if you right-click it, there is no "Enable" command listed.
   
3. Keeping Device Manager open, start the Microsoft Store application, then try to browse to the XBox app. Observe that a page showing the Xbox app starts to load, but seems to load indefinitely.
   
4. Now quickly return to Device Manager and wait for the XVDD SCSI Miniport device's icon to become enabled. When this occurs, right-click it and choose "Enable this device". (Note that enabling the device will not reinstate Xbox game functionality until you restart.)
   
5. Restart the PC.
   

 

Can't play Hit It Rich game and system freezes

Hi carmenstanley1,

Thank you for your response.

I can understand how frustrating it would be. This issue might be due to corrupted profile or if the game is not installed completely. I suggest you to follow these steps and let us know if it works.

Could you please help me with the below questions:

• Are you aware of any changes happened on the computer prior to this issue?
  
• Have you tried playing this game on other browser (Google chrome or Mozilla) and check for the issue?
  

Step 1: Uninstall or Repair the game.

1. Press Windows and
   R key together on your Keyboard.
2. Type appwiz.cpl and hit enter.
   
3. Right click on the Hit it Rich app > Select Repair or uninstall it.
4. Reinstall the application and check for the issue.
   

Step 2: Create a new local account.

The reason might be due to user account corruption, so I would suggest you to ‘Create
a local user or administrator account’ and check if the issue persists.

Note: You will not see all your files under your default file location.
So your data will be saved under C:\Users\User_name.

If you are facing issues with freezing, I would suggest you to follow the troubleshooting steps on
Tips to improve PC performance in Windows
10.

Hope it helps.
