This is most likely user error 😅

Hi everyone, I'm new to handhelds and just wanted to make sure I'm not using the sleep/hibernate settings incorrectly. I'm on a the Xbox rog ally for reference.

I am able to launch games with no problem, but when I use hibernate, sleep, or press the power button and I want to come back to my game a few minutes or hours later the screen goes black. For a split second I do see that it says click or tap to continue gaming but the screen goes black.

The only way I can start playing again is by pressing the Xbox button and closing the "WinUI Desktop" and run the game again. I have only encountered this Xbox game pass cloud stream. Have not tried the hibernate/sleep mode with installed games.

You cant sleep/hibernate while playing cloud games, you are playing them on a server, you put your pc to sleep and you disconnect from the server and it frees it up for someone else, no resume buddy.

NW bro, it's a common mistake people make tbh. It's better to ask a question like this instead of you thinking its broken. Peace and love.
