In mijn artikel van twee weken geleden kon je al lezen hoe makkelijk het is om je Xbox One te laten streamen naar een PC of Laptop met Windows 10. Ook beklaagde ik me over de slechte beeld kwaliteit er van, maar daar heeft iemand op Redit een oplossing voor gevonden door een simpele aanpassing in je register. Thats all.

One of the coolest features of Windows 10, if you have an Xbox One, is the ability to stream your console games to your Desktop Pc or Laptop, provided they're on the same network. It's something I find myself using surprisingly often - especially when my kids are hogging the TV, and I have an overwhelming urge to shoot stuff or jump on things.

I use an Xbox 360 controller connected to my PC, and everything is mapped out as it should be - it's all rather magical, provided you're on a wired connection, or have Wi-Fi that's up to the task. If Xbox One Streaming does have a problem though, it's one of quality. Even on the highest available setting, the visual quality of the stream means games look worse than they should (though, it has to be said, better than PlayStation TV's remote play - and less laggy, too).

Some enterprising chaps over at Reddit have found a way to unlock a higher quality stream, and it's easy to do. Here's how:

[Close your Xbox App before you begin]

Step 1: Open File Explorer, and copy/paste this location:
C:Users%USERNAME%AppDataLocalPackages
Step 2: Scroll down and open the folder that starts with "Microsoft.XboxApp..."
Step 3: Open the folder LocalState
Step 4: Right click the file called "userconsoledata" and choose Open With.. (select Notepad or Wordpad)
Step 5: Change this:
false
into this: true
Step 6: Now open the Xbox App, begin streaming- and in the top right of the stream window, click the ((o)) button to select Very High.
