Do you absolutely have to have it setup such that there’s a shortcut for it on Moonlight? Because Xbox stuff on Windows is very particular, and doesn’t like other stuff hooking into it.

I’ve found that the easiest course of action for Game Pass games is to just add Windows Remote Desktop (c:/windows/system32/mstsc.exe) as a shortcut in GeForce Experience, and have any Game Pass games set as a shortcut on my desktop. From then I can simply click whichever one I want.

I’m sorry you’re experiencing this. Since you said you’ve googled it I’ll assume you’ve already tried to enable developer mode and turn off wifi power management. What happened when you did that?

It sounds like it may be a faulty chip, in which case yeah - I’d either replace or refund it. I can assure you that this isn’t a super common occurrence, though, so I’d suggest replacing it unless you’ve decided that you’re over it (which would be understandable - it must be frustrating).

There is a 1TB model and a 1TB limited edition (LE) model. They aren’t the same thing. You have to order the LE specifically if you want it.

Look man - now that we’re all done being complete idiots about glossy vs. etched, we have to find something else to be complete idiots about.

From what other posts on here suggest, you can only redeem them from the original drive. It seems likely that they have some sort of flag set on OS images that they install at the factory, which the base editions and publicly-available recovery images do not have.

Just reinstall the old drive, accept them, then swap back and you should be good.

Did you put a screen protector on it? If not, that etched glass effect must be fairly minor - your reflection holding that phone is pretty clear.

Oddly enough that actually makes me feel happier about going with the LE. A minor anti-glare effect, with minimal hit to image quality, sounds perfect to me.

You can’t change it, just to be clear. The “removable liner” their page refers to is the soft shell case itself (as in, all of that in the picture above). The pattern inside the case is clearly stitched in there. You won’t be able take that out.
