BigBox: Show Pause Screen Windows AppStore Game

[Josh Stevens]

• Launchbox Version: BigBox 11.2
• OS Version: Windows 10 1906
• How often it happens: Ever time I push my hotkey for the BigBox pause menu to exit game.
• Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Launch windows Appstore game via BigBox
  2. Wait for the game to launch and play for a bit
  3. Push hot key(s) for the “Show Pause Screen” feature in BigBox to exit game.
  4. Manually close the game and notice there is a popup with this error

Note: Also after closing a Windows AppStore game BigBox will not work with my controller until I reboot (Xbone Controller) I have to use the keyboard at that point.
* The complete error that shows up in BigBox:

No process is associated with this object.

Thanks Josh, we believe this should be fixed in most cases in the 11.4 release. Every Windows game is different, so it can be tricky/near impossible to get the pause menu to work for every single game, but we did fix this specific error with the games that we tested.
