Due to how Microsoft packages & handles Xbox Games Pass (PC Game Pass, Xbox Store, Microsoft Store) files alongside file encryptions & sandboxing, games installed using the Xbox app or using Xbox Game files may not appear inside the NVIDIA app for game optimisation or DLSS overrides. If this happens, do the following:
- Ensure that your game is not installed inside WindowsApps. To prevent your games from installing inside WindowsApps, go to the Xbox app > Select your GamerTag/Name > Settings > Install Options. At “Change where this app installs games by default”, press Change Folder and create a new folder dedicated for all Xbox Games/Xbox Game Pass games. Note that this setting does not affect some older games that were made with the older UWP platform in mind.
- Make sure the scan locations of the Games & Apps also points to the folder where the Xbox Game Pass folder is located. You can do that by opening the NVIDIA app > Settings > Scan Locations : VIEW AND MODIFY. If it still does not work, manually add the individual folders of the game themselves to be scanned. Example: "C:\XboxGames[YOUR GAME HERE]"
- As the App ID/exe name of the game differs from the Steam version of the game, you may need to wait for a few days for a new game to be detected by the NVIDIA app as Nvidia will be updating the game profiles to include the Xbox Game Pass games accordingly.
@summer imp Still the same.
Like I updated for the new application, few days after, started to black screen.
If this is an xbox game pass app, you have to use the game bar for screenshot
It's Minecraft Bedrock.
Like I got no problem since years.
Until the new application.
Which is so nasty.
Like the worst decision of Nvidia.
He most likely installed it from the Microsoft Store.
I got back the Nvidia geforce experience, now when I screen while full screen, it screens my second monitor...
Minecraft bedrock runs as a UWP app/Xbox app
You shouldn't have issues on Java version
Yes, all Microsoft store app are basically UWP/Xbox app
Indeed I don't.
And I didn't on bedrock either.
Since the new app...
As All UWP/Xbox game app/Microsoft store apps are encrypted and works differently, overlays and streaming don't work properly
Especially first party Microsoft games
like Minecraft
overlays and streaming don't work properly
They do
for bedrock it's old
i think it is based on the old UWP platform instead of the newer win32
most newer titles are straight win32, just with exe encryption
Bedrock is still UWP unfortunately
Even those have issues if the game is installed in the default WindowsApps location since the folder itself is protected
You need to manually installed them to another drive or another folder
that would be funny since the default setup for games installed from the Xbox Store for any game using the new model is C:\XboxGames
It depends where you installed the game from
From Microsoft Store? WindowsApp Folder
From Xbox App? XboxGames Folder
probably should tell them to use the Xbox interface instead to install games
