How to troubleshoot game streaming issues on your Xbox
If you’re having trouble streaming games from your Xbox to your PC, there are a few things you can do to troubleshoot the issue.
First, make sure your Xbox and PC are on the same local network. If they’re not, game streaming won’t work.
Second, check your Xbox’s network settings. Make sure the “Allow game streaming to other devices” option is enabled.
Third, check your PC’s firewall settings. If your firewall is blocking the connection, you’ll need to add an exception for the Xbox app.
Fourth, check your router’s UPnP settings. UPnP stands for Universal Plug and Play, and it’s what allows your Xbox and PC to communicate with each other. If UPnP is disabled on your router, game streaming won’t work.
Finally, if none of those things work, try connecting your PC directly to your Xbox with an Ethernet cable. This will bypass any potential problems with your home network and allow you to stream games without issues.
