Gears 5 - out now

If all you're doing is gaming, you're better off just getting something like a 256GB NVMe drive and then a bigger SATA SSD to put your games on. My C: drive is only about 33% used.

Thanks, I'll check and give that a go this evening. I haven't used Windows store since gears 4 and all the trouble that caused so I'm not used to it and the new xbox app.

I had the same problem yesterday evening, game wouldn't launch and kept jumping back to the Windows store. It was in fact some kind of patch which downloaded quickly enough and then no problems after that.
 
Anybody know any good servers where beginners can play? By beginners I mean people who have not played any Gears game before. Does Gears 5 even use servers, like CS, with clans and friendly family people lol.

Good idea. I like the Crucial drive I have, so I’ve just bought the 1TB version from OC. I’ll transfer all my games to that. I’ve still got a third M2 slot, so I’ll soon buy a 500GB Nvme, and clone my C drive to it. What difference I’ll notice between the two is negligible anyway.
 
Still directing me to the windows store. Might have to reinstall.

Edit. uninstalled and reinstalled got it to work again. I swore off the windows Store when Gear 4 was a nightmare to play and install. Looks like things haven't improved since then.

For some reason windows store games are terrible for auto updating. Before you go to play anything just go into the store app and click the 'Check for updates' button just in case.
 
Is it possible to get a co-op partner to give me a hand with the Matriarch boss who though not particularly difficult is a rather long slog and I usually get killed?
I loved The Division in that you could get help on a particularly difficult quest and wish more games had a similar system in place for us useless gamers.

I'm a bit further than that, I did it on my own but it was a right pita. I even finished the level, started the next one and came back to it and it hadn't saved so I had to beat her again. To say I was ****** off was an understatement lol. I found using jack to flash her worked well, I've also got the upgrade where he freezes enemies which helped massively (and does some damage). Definitely the hardest fight so far.

I started again and this time had all the upgrades for Jack but just could beat this boss, not I think because it was particularly hard but guns did very little damage and just getting where you could shoot at the sweet spot meant you do not get as many shots in as you would like.
So I gave up and used a Trainer, one shot sorted and moving on.
I have never like boss fight and even though I have been gaming since PS1 days I am still rubbish when it comes to boss fights but can mainly get through eventually.
