Windows 10: Xbox on PC / cloud save issue

I noticed something that could possibly use a fix unless I'm overlooking something. I played games on other devices and it notices this and asks what save I want to use. The problem is that the prompt does not appear on task manager or the task bar but is otherwise hidden. Minimizing the window does not reveal it and it actually causes the game to be unresponsive until you select a save which I can't do. The only time I see the prompt to select the most recent cloud save or system save is if I close the game through task manager but by then whatever I select is no longer viable.

cloud saves

Hi Andrew,

I am Sumit here to assist you with this question.

Have you tried these steps? Make sure to sign out of the Xbox app beforehand in Windows 11.

I am now having an issue syncing my Xbox Ones Clouds Ark game data to my Windows 10 Laptop.

Hi Jonathon,

When you play an Xbox Play Anywhere game, your game progress is saved on Xbox Live. So, you can pick up where you left off on another Xbox One or Windows 10 PC, bringing all your saves, game add-ons, and achievements with you. If you are not seeing the same
game data and progress after syncing your account on your Windows 10 PC, there are possibilities that you are using a different email address on your Xbox Console or there is an issue with your in-game profile.

To properly isolate your concern, please clarify the following information:

• Are you signed in to the same gamertag on your PC and your Xbox One console?
• Did you play the game online on your Xbox One?

Cloud saves are overwriting my local saves

I am trying to copy a save from one computer (computer A), to another (computer B). The game in question is Resident Evil 7 (if it matters)

I've been able to locate the saves and copy them over to several friends computers (using the same version off the Microsoft Store), and all works fine for most people.

However, two people have run into an issue where, upon launching the game, their local saves are instantly overwritten with their cloud saves.

Is there some setting for Xbox Play Anywhere titles where cloud saves somehow prioritize over local saves? It's only happened to 2 people out of a test of about 10, so I'm assuming something just needs to be disabled.

Cloud saves are enabled on all 10 systems. What happens for most people, is those new saves end up getting uploaded to the cloud and can then be used on their Xbox One version, as well. I'm stumped in trying to figure out why this keeps happening to only
a few people.

About half the people testing this out have an Xbox One, and the other half doesn't. One person this issue happens to doesn't even have an Xbox One...

Any suggestions would be wonderful!
