  1. My xbox pc app gets stuck on "launching app" and my xbox game bar social gets stuck on...


    This has been going on since I got my PC so around 4 months I most recently started to try to fix the issues below is everything Ive tried to get it to work.

    1. Type "Windows PowerShell" in the Windows search bar and run it as an administrator. Then, copy and paste the following command and press Enter on your keyboard:
    get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-appxpackage -allusers

    2. Open the Xbox app; if it opens correctly without any issues, it will detect that you need the Gaming Services. You can download them by clicking the "Download" button that appears there. If the problem persists and you still can't open the Xbox app or if it doesn't allow you to download the Gaming Services with the previous method, then try using the following command in the Windows PowerShell window, run as an administrator using the process described in the first step:

    start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

    3. Once you finish downloading and installing Gaming Services, it's recommended that you restart your PC.

    Updating the pc.

    1. Make sure that your Windows is completely up to date, including optional updates.

    To check for updates, go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > and click on the "Check for updates" button (even if it says everything is up to date).

    2. Reset the Xbox app and Microsoft Store by doing the following: - Press the Windows key + I on your keyboard to open the Windows settings, and then click on "Apps".

    - Find the "Xbox" app, select it, then click on "Advanced options" and then "Reset". Confirm the process. Repeat the same steps for the "Microsoft Store" app.

    3. Restart your PC and check if the problem has been resolved.

    Ive also delted my antivirus software to see if that worked ive ran both as administrator and still nothing I also have compltely uninstalled and reinstalled windows through microsoft and that still didnt fix the issue. When I do the steps above it will then get stuck on "updating" and it'll just sit at 100% ive even left it on overnight to see if itll load and still nothing.

    :)

    Xbox Game Pass download keeps getting stuck. Need a fix.

    If I understand correctly, you are trying to download an Xbox app on your PC.

    If that is correct, you may want to try resetting the Store cache:

    • Go to Start > type wsreset > select wsreset.
    • When the Store opens, check if app downloads have started.
    I am trying to download Metro Exodus from Xbox Game Pass App for PC but my download keeps getting stuck. This problem is not unique for this game but every game I try to download through Xbox Game Pass PC App through my Gamepass Pc subscription keeps getting
    stuck after running for a downloading for a 5 to 10 minutes. I noticed the download usally gets stuck when I use the internet during the download period. It doesn't matter if i use internet on the same pc or use my phone to connect to the same wifi. I don't
    think it's a problem with my connection. Because I don't have the same problem when I use steam, epic game store, origin, uplay etc. Only my microsoft/Xbox Gamepass Pc download seems to get stuck after running some time

    My Xbox app on PC is stuck launching.

    Hello Tomm!

    I am having the ecact same issue as above. I have tried all of the steps. I even had a microsoft agent remote to my computer and follow all of the same steps above. I was then told to refresh windows where i downloaded a file and refreshed by keeping files and data. That did not help either.

    I have to be missing something.

    Please help!

    1. This issue started 2 Months ago.

    2. There had been no changes to my PC software or hardware wise around the time the problem occurred.

    3. I have a 3rd party antivirus software called Malware bytes. But it does NOT do anything manually. I have to ask it to scan my hard drives.

    4. At the start of this issue I was on windows 10. Because of how many solutions I had already tried, I upgraded to Windows 11 in hopes that it would fix the problem. It did not.



    I have tried Uninstalling my antivirus but that still didnt solve the issue

    2. Make sure Windows is up to date.

    • Press the Start button on the taskbar, type settings, and then select Settings.
    • On Windows 10, select Update & Security. On Windows 11, select Windows Update.

    3. Uninstall and reinstall Xbox app.

    Uninstall from settings

    • Press Windows + I to open Windows Settings
    • now go to Settings / Applications / Apps & features
    • type Xbox app in the search box

    • Under apps, search for Xbox app
    • click Get button to install
    • wait for the application to completely download and install.

    I have tried this solution numerous times with no success. Do you have any other suggestions? Its a Microsoft product that I had to cancel my memberships with because the Xbox app wont launch. Ive been to numerous forums / support with no results. Spent numerous hours trying to resolve this issue a couple times a week in my spare time. Is there an expert I can contact who can personally resolve this issue?
