Keep camera sensitivity saved after relaunch, fix window-resize crashes, and protect Xbox PC cloud saves. Use this guide for a quick answer first, then follow only the steps relevant to your problem. The interactive examples are browser illustrations and do not connect to your game.

✦ Quick Answer

If your camera settings revert after closing the game, first close Hogwarts Legacy and the Xbox app, update both, change your camera setting again, then exit using the in-game menu. If the problem continues, repair the app through Windows Settings without resetting it or deleting saves. For resize crashes, test Borderless Windowed mode.

Easy Step-by-Step Solution

01

Update the game and Xbox app

Open Microsoft Store → Library → Get updates. Update Hogwarts Legacy, Xbox app and Gaming Services if offered. Restart Windows.

02

Save one setting and exit normally

Open Settings → Gameplay Options, set Camera Sensitivity, back out, then use the in-game Quit option. Relaunch to see whether it stuck.

03

Stop resize and sync conflicts safely

Try Borderless Windowed and your monitor’s native resolution. Allow an active cloud sync to finish before closing the launcher; do not delete local saves or force a conflicting overwrite.

04

Use Repair, not Reset

Windows Settings → Apps → Installed apps → Hogwarts Legacy → Advanced options → Repair if offered. Also Repair Xbox/Gaming Services when necessary; Reset may remove app data.

Keep it simple

Important Notes

Good to know: Build identifiers in community trackers do not necessarily match the internal game version. Camera reset, resizing and cloud-sync changes can differ by Microsoft Store release; use current Xbox app updates as your first check.

After each change, test the game once. If the issue is fixed, stop—there is no reason to keep changing unrelated settings. For advanced repairs, make a backup before altering local configuration files or save data.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Will repairing the Xbox app delete my saves?

Repair normally preserves app data; Reset is more invasive. Back up accessible game saves and let cloud sync complete before troubleshooting.

Should I disable cloud sync?

Not as the first step. Confirm which save is newest and let synchronization finish before changing cloud settings.

Why does window resizing crash only in fullscreen?

Display-mode transitions, refresh rate changes and graphics-driver issues can affect fullscreen. Borderless Windowed is a useful reversible test.

What if sensitivity resets even after updating?

Confirm the setting is saved on an unmodded launch, check that configuration files are writable, and contact official support with the launcher version.
