Step 1｜Identify the store and screen

Keep a private record of the result. This is a check, not a guaranteed repair.

Time: About 3 minutes to check; downloads and fix availability vary · Risk: low

  1. Identify whether you opened the PC game through Xbox, Steam or Battle.net. Do not classify it from the game title alone.
  2. Distinguish an absent control in COD Home from an error after pressing a visible control.

Results that did not fix the problem help the next reader too.

Step 2｜Check the two official tips

Keep a private record of the result. This is a check, not a guaranteed repair.

Time: About 3 minutes to check; downloads and fix availability vary · Risk: low

  1. Follow the device-management link in the official issue entry and inspect your own account. Do not unlink an unfamiliar device by guesswork.
  2. Inspect MW4’s installed content in the Xbox app. Use the official launcher for missing packs and match the displayed names; do not assume one numbered pack explains every case.

Results that did not fix the problem help the next reader too.

Step 3｜Record the result and report a continuing issue

Keep a private record of the result. This is a check, not a guaranteed repair.

Time: About 3 minutes to check; downloads and fix availability vary · Risk: low

  1. Keep a private note of the check time, installed pack names and whether the button appeared. Do not publish account information.
  2. If nothing changes, stop repeating installations and check the official issue entry for updates. In a report, specify that you cannot reach the launch action.

Results that did not fix the problem help the next reader too.

Avoid

  • Do not delete saves or settings without a relevant official instruction.
  • Do not repeatedly reinstall or repurchase the game as a presumed remedy.

Important cautions

  • These are observation and reporting steps, not a tested cure. No individual improvement or fix date is guaranteed.
  • TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are separate PC requirements. Do not change firmware to treat these symptoms.

FAQ

Will changing TPM settings restore the button?

Do not change firmware because this control is missing. TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are separate PC requirements; use the security guide if you actually receive a requirement warning.
