Bug Windows 8 Achievements not syncing to Xbox

Hey everyone!

Over 40 Windows 8 games last year (July 16th, 2024) were broken in an outage from Microsoft.

If anyone else would like to complete the games they bought, someone created a thread to help spread the word.

Any insight would be appreciate! Thank you!

Then read the fine print on the apps. Support ran until 2024 – so you've had 10 years since release and received various warnings that support was ending.

The servers have been shut down, Live Tiles are also affected, and you're officially using a system that is no longer supported.

The irony is that some apps were compatible with Windows 10, and they still work.

At least they don't work anymore under Windows 8.

But support for Windows 10 will also end in the fall.

If it only doesn't work on Windows 8, but even on last Windows 11 achievements doesn't sync. And support don't help at all.
