Hello,

I have the same symptoms with Age of Empires IV. It seems connecting to the XBOX servers is blocked. There is no any notice, no log record or anything. It works only If I stop the defence just for the start procedure. During the game the Kaspersky does not block running (sometimes some error messages)

Windows 10 Home (22H2)

Kaspersky version is the same (21.3.10.391 (j))

I look forward your ideas!

Br

Peter
