Steam And Everything It Touches Are A Stuttery Jittery Mess Since Installing The Xbox App

[Brodie_Bumshine]

For the life of me I can't figure out what's wrong, I've tried everything I can think of, from full re-install and wiping of drives. I've even installed steam on a completely separate drive from everything else and it's still taking a good 10 to 20 minutes for steam to do anything, and all games that even touch it are laggy and jittery themselves. I've also given Windows Security exemption to the entire drive steam is installed on. Any help is appreciated.

Sounds like your XBox App is the cause for the jittery mess.

If that's happening then something on your end is interfering with it. Common culprits are security software, antivirus and the like. Check that the exceptions are made.

You're going to have to do some digging on your task manager to see what's open at the same time and start process of elimination on them.

so I *think* I've solved it, I just had to force anything even related to xbox to close in the Task Manager, and the test game (stardew valley, just FYI) runs like normal now. Its not by any means a *clean* solution, but it seems to work. So for anyone having this problem in the future, what you need to do to be able to run steam if you have the Xbox app installed, go to task manager and force close anything that even resembles the xbox app. If you want to use the xbox app, just restart your computer (xbox has no issues running with steam, its only steam that can't play nice with others)

Thanks fro gettting back to us. I'll try to remember it in case anyone else has similar issues in future.

I'm going to run some tests on my own to try to get them to play nice with each other, but for the time being that seems to work, at least with Stardew Valley

It’s interesting. I have both running all the time and have no issue. Clearly somewhere they are stepping on each other’s feet.

Is the Xbox app up to date? You could try re-installing it. It’s been know to be buggy at times.

Other things…Windows 10 or 11? Controller plugged in?
