Its normal to have glitches from time time time, with chosen widgets not appearing and the Add Widgets + panel becoming non-responsive, but I'm finding this is now happening every time a little while after I try to fix it - "fixes" being killing widget tasks in task manager, or sign out, or...

Although the MS Known Issues page shows them as Mitigated, disabling Auto HDR removes a valuable W11 feature. I've had little success enabling the HDR "filter" added with the Nvidia App - one success with a Steam game but none with Windows Store (Game Pass) games - and now a performance hit has...

There appears to be two new holds Auto HDR might cause games to stop responding or display incorrect colors and Some devices that have Dirac Audio with cridspapo.dll might lose audio output The former (Auto HDR) would seem to be a quite common setting and matches my safeguard id

After getting the 24H2 available notification with the expanded roll-out despite having one of the Ubi games listed in the hold, and then ignoring the update for a while, the update has disappeared completely now, cant match the block ID.

There seems to be confusion here The Windows Xbox app is nothing to do with having an Xbox console - its useful for managing game pass benefits and game installs on PC - if you don't play games then you don't need to worry about the app Windows insiders is different to Xbox insiders - its Xbox...

I meant Xbox insiders - from the Xbox insider hub app in the store - join and then join PC Gaming and it gives access to new versions of Xbox app, and gaming services and game bar app - having an Xbox console isn't needed. Reddit - Dive into anything mentions releases - 2412.1001.22.0 came out...

My issue happened while updating to 2411.1001.5.0 last month and although I tried all fixes and was about to try uninstaller tools hoping to remove all traces, 2411.1001.6.0 was released and updating fixed the issue. Since then newer versions have worked without issue - it seems random when the...

I mentioned the issue of lack of repairability of store apps - such as the Xbox app - in another thread after I had a bluescreen during an update of the Xbox app and then it would just immediately close with an error logged. There are many fixes for common errors with the Xbox app like the...

I was a little surprised to see 24H2 being offered now as there's still that list of compatibility hold issues - for example Ubi games - I'd tried to uninstall older games using an older Easy Anti-Cheat but I've not yet seen any updates for that list of Ubi games.

Thanks again for replying. The main issue of the post was finding a way to diagnose an app crash and repair. It was to add context to mention the bugcheck - something it's not done before - in the last stages of the store app installing the update to the Xbox app - possibly just coincidence...

Many thanks for taking the time to reply but I'd already exhausted the normal solutions, app reset and reinstall being early attempts. I mentioned trying the "Fix problems using Windows Update" recovery option as although it's convenient it also just left things as they were. What I was looking...

After getting a rare bluescreen while the Store app was updating the Xbox app, although everything else seemed OK the Xbox app now just closes after launch with 0xc000027b logged. This kind of thing is mentioned from time to time but never with a solution. None of the typical fixes such as Xbox...
