Troubleshooting

XBOX Mode (FSE) entry dialog does not appear

On some Windows builds the “Restart for better performance” dialog fails to appear when entering XBOX Mode (FSE). OmniConsole provides a recovery action:

1. Open OmniConsole Settings from the Start Menu.
2. Switch to the Troubleshoot tab in the left menu.
3. Next to Restart Game Bar & Enter XBOX Mode (FSE), click Run. This restarts Game Bar and enters XBOX Mode (FSE); once Game Bar is restarted, the dialog appears as expected.

OmniConsole does not launch my platform

1. Confirm OmniConsole is set as the XBOX Mode (FSE) Home App in Settings → Gaming → XBOX mode (FSE).
2. Open OmniConsole Settings from the Start Menu and verify your default platform is selected.
3. Make sure the selected platform is installed. Steam Big Picture requires Steam; XBOX App requires the XBOX app, etc.

Entering XBOX Mode (FSE) with no mouse connected

Windows itself draws no cursor when it finds no mouse attached. To keep one visible on a console without a mouse, OmniConsole borrows a Windows system state; a mouse plugged in while that is in effect goes unnoticed, and the desktop will have no cursor after you exit. To use a mouse, exit XBOX Mode (FSE) first, then connect it.
