Issue with Gaming Services timeout

Oh my god I have the exact same problem! Since an update of the gaming services on 12th april. If you kill the service when at startup it will come back to normal again. It is the only temporary fix that I found. There was one guy at microsoft who told me to reinstall the os hahahaha (obviously dont do that)

I did reinstall the OS (my laptop is pretty new so not much on it), it was fine at first, but as soon as the latest gaming service update got installed from microsoft store all the problems come back. I have 3 computers in the home, all with PC Game pass and they all started doing this as soon as gaming services got updated.

I found that if I disable 'Fast startup' everything is fine everytime I use the computer, but it does add 5 or so seconds to boot up.

Annoying but it's a temporary fix.

Yeah I was pretty sure reinstalling would not fix the problem. I guess we have to wait for the next gamingservices update... Hopefully it fixes it up.

How is this not a major problem, I don't understand why not more people have this issue
