Game Crashes after Character Pick (Windows 10)
Ever since I switched to Windows 10 I've been having problems. I can't spectate, can't run a custom game, can't do anything that involves actually launching the game.
This is an issue I saw for a lot of different people, but I wasn't sure why my particular game was having issues (since I tried all the other troubleshooting options). I then saw a post about lolreplay causing problems, and found out about an xbox app that installs itself if you upgrade to Windows 10. I looked into it, and even though my xbox app didn't have replay enabled, it was causing the problem. Since I don't use it and couldn't disable it and run League, I decided to try and delete it (Although this is pretty hard to do). Good news, after I deleted it, everything works!
I wasn't sure where else to post this, but I just wanted it out there in case it could help anyone else. Here are the steps it takes.
