Installed games not showing on Xbox app

Harry Richards · Jun 30, 2020

The xbox console basically forces you to upgrade to the Xbox app that pushes the Access Pass which is not important to me. My installed games are important to me. I did find another post from a year ago stating that they should uninstall and reinstallt
the app to have the games populate. Why is this still a problem a year later? I just went through having to update my windows 10 and install the Xbox app just to have to reinstall the app? Xbox on the PC is getting to the point where you are just now worth
the effort. Why is there no manual option for you to point to an installed game and have it recognized if your install does not work properly? Just for the record the Xbox console shows all my games and allows me to manually add games. It also has a message
saying it is being replaced by this new Xbox app that is not adequate.

i dont even load any of the xbox apps on pc, all my games are installed via the store and are visible in the start menu, you dont need the xbox apps for anything.

They still haven't fixed the Teredo issue thats at least 5 years old. Don't get your hopes up.

If my games did not show and could be launched from the console I would understand this answer. Considering what you say and what is, is different, I am not sure why you would say this. Considering features are missing in the console now, it is a subtle
way to get you to follow that link now and not sometime in the future. Thank you though.

In the console I have lost some options that used to be there. I would expect the replacement to be the same options or better, not less. As for them being two separate apps, for now that is correct, but with the statement that the Xbox console is being
replaced by the xbox app, it is clear that they want us to "upgrade" to this app. The link they provide is to the app that says Game Pass at the top and has no option to use the games already installed on my computer. As per xbox's statement the console will
cease to exist. Having less options in the console now, is clearly pushing people to upgrade. Any game bought from the MS store should also be included in this app. My profile lists the games yet this app says I have no paid games.

Nope, and seems like there is no desire to do so.
