To fix it, go ahead and stop the TabTip.exe process. Simply, you can create a batch command in order to run the game.

You can do this by creating the batch file below and saving it as a .cmd and launching it as administrator. You can also create a shortcut to .cmd and run it as administrator in its options.

taskkill /f /im “tabtip.exe”

start /d “<path-to-game>” Reckoning.exe

The Xbox One S Controller, once connected through Bluetooth will cause the game to stutter. This can annoy one a lot and even make the game unplayable. You will have to use the controller in its wired mode to fix this.
