All Xbox GamePass games have permission issue

All permissions related to any Xbox App-based games can't be edited. The official Xbox App does not allow you to change any permissions yourself. No permissions to edit anything related to it, or the game in question, in the registry either.

I have used "take ownership" before on an Xbox App game with disastrous results. It seems that the Xbox App's permissions are so locked down that I am not allowed to touch anything, even when it is stopping me from launching the game.

In conclusion, I should've spent my gamepass money on Steam instead T-T

I don't think its an issue on your end. It seems several people (ie everyone) is having this issue at the moment. The general consensus seems to be that it could be an issue with permissions related to gamepass not giving the right permission for xbox 360 but its unknown. From what I can tell people are saying to just wait and hope it comes back up but people have brought it up a lot so hopefully it will get noticed by MS and fixed.

they decided to do it this way as it is their way of drm.

you should not have to be reformatting everytime, and you can have games spread across multiple drives, i never had an issue with this kind of thing up until i ditched gamepass.

i have several games installed across drives with no issues.

are your drives in ntfs, have you changed any permissions on any of the windowapps folders.

Hello there!

Regarding the issue that you have and since all your games do not have any issue with permission, it should not be your suspensions that are causing this. Please try first checking the game support page, so that they can help you get the correct permissions in order to play the game.

Found a fix! Went into xbox gamepass app settings and enabled offline permissions, not sure why this changed anything but works perfectly now!
