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

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello SahithMallampati1, try to follow the procedure below.

Start > Run shell:AppsFolder to get to the dumb hidden app folder

pin Xbox to taskbar

hold shift+ctrl and click to run in admin mode

hit install on gamepass, but before running first time right click on icon and create desktop shortcut.

right click that to run as admin and should at least bring up the launcher, which worked for me at that point no issues.

So this was done using an Amazon Redeem code - I have redeemed the code and it's in the xBox 'My Library' but won't install - I have no game pass - doing the CTRL-Shift start up from the taskbar still has this issue - any other thoughts?

Not sure if you have tried this, this has worked for others :

Start > Run shell:AppsFolder

pin Xbox to taskbar

hold shift+ctrl and click to run in admin mode

hit install on gamepass, but before running first time right click on icon and create desktop shortcut.

right click that to run as admin and should at least bring up the launcher, which worked for me at that point no issues.

Is this the only game/add on that it does it with?
