    A game requires an update before being able to play but im met with error 0x8b050033


    Sorry if this isn’t the place to ask this

    I’m trying to play AC unity it’s installed but when I try to start it up it tells me the game needs an update but it can’t retrieve the update. It says the servers might be under maintenance but they’re up and running.

    I’ve tried so far -Profile hopping -uninstalling and reinstalling the game -a hard and soft reset

    None of them have worked, any help and ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    I also installed another AC game and was able to update that one no problem.

    Games require large updates before being able to play constantly on PC

    Hi mrredTB,

    Welcome to Xbox Community Forums. We appreciate for sharing your concern with us and we hope that you are doing well today.

    We understand that you wanted to turn off the automated update of Xbox apps on PC. As per description you have looked in the settings and have clicked the offline permissions enabled, still nothing happens.

    All games available through the Xbox Game Pass for PC are installed from the Microsoft Store app on Windows. The Xbox (Beta) app is just an extension of the Microsoft Store to easily launch and manage your games that you get from the subscription among other Xbox Live features. The Xbox (Beta) app does not need to be running for updates to occur automatically because the updates initiate from the Microsoft Store which is always running in the background when you boot up your PC.

    You can disable auto updates to games and apps in the Microsoft Store through the Store's settings.

    1. Select the Start screen, then select Microsoft Store.
    2. In Microsoft Store at the upper right, select the account menu (the three dots) and then select Settings.
    3. Under App updates, set Update apps automatically to Off.

    You can also manually pause or cancel updates if they do start through the download queue in the Microsoft Store. To get to the queue select the account menu (the three dots) > Downloads and updates.

    You may also check this article to make changes on your PC settings.

    We hope it worked out well for you. If not, please reply back to this forum to let us know so we could find other options to resolve the problem.



    We will be glad to follow up and help you.

    Updating a disc game

    Problem in Forza Horizon 4 S=save

    As far as not being able to access the Autoshow in game can you explain what error message do you see, or is the option just greyed out and not selectable? I'm not a Forza player, so I'm not sure if there are in-game requirements that need to be met before
    accessing the Autoshow.
    Thank you for your answer.

    Indeed, I can't access to the Autoshow because the option is greyed out and not selectable.

    But, I unlocked the requirements in the game to access to that page.

    Best regards.
