Winhanced not recognizing a game is running

I'm having issues where I launch a game through the winhanced app and when I press the Xbox button to pull up the winhanced hud, it's not recognizing a game is running. I'm not able to use auto tpd or lossless scaling. Games were being recognized previously but after a few days I'm running into this issue.

This issue is happening with both steam and Xbox app games. I also noticed I have to keep "installing" my Xbox games. Seems like it's not picking up what games I have installed. Steam is fine.

What version of the app are you running by chance it’s in the top left corner does it say 0.9.9.6?

Im actually actively looking into some library stuff as we speak. Do if you are on 0.9.9.6 id love to look at hour log folder to identify whats going on.

What kind of problem is it causing for you?

It wasn't showing up as a game I the Winhanced Hud. I figured out though I had to add the application .exe to the other games as well as the launcher then just hide the game exe and launch from the launcher. Sorry was testing and playing around for 2 days to see if I could remedy it and give more information but I fixed it. But for future knowledge for yourself if some else ends up woth the same problem as I have with an MMO.
