    PC Xbox app stuck on "checking for updates"

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello JLVTombstone, unfortunately not, by your description there may be some problem with the optional Windows update, check if your system already has the new version 22H2 installed.

    See which version of Windows 10 you have

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/see...

    Updates are often seen as optional.

    After Windows is correctly updated it will normally update the App.

    If the upgrade doesn't work, try the procedures below.

    DEFRAG

    Defragment your Windows 10 PC

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/def...

    Using System File Checker in Windows

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/usi...

    chkdsk

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server...

    1 - Type cmd (Command Prompt) in the search bar of the Start menu and then click Run as administrator.

    2 - Enter chkdsk /f/x/r/v

    Being in use the system will ask if the user wants to check the chosen drive after reboot. Just type S and restart the computer.

    Xbox PC App stuck on checking for updates

    Hi, I'm Kim, an Independent Advisor and I’m happy to help you today.

    Let's try some steps to isolate the issue. Try to repair/ reset the gaming services and Xbox app. Kindly Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features. Find the App named "Gaming Services" / Xbox app then select the Advanced options link under the name of the app (some apps don't have this option). On the page that opens, select Reset.

    After that press WIN+R (Windows logo key + R) , Enter "services.msc", find "Game Services", stop the service and then start it back again.
