Bought xbox game pass for PC, can't even use it.

I am yet another person out of thousands who are having issues with the game pass on PC. I spent money for this, and can't even use it at all.

The .exe app you can download gets hung on "making things awesome" and the microsoft store (windows update too for that matter) won't download a single thing, and this is still after every single fix I could possibly find on the internet. I'm adequate enough
with computers to execute these fixes, dozens of command prompt lines, resetting the microsoft store a hundred times, uninstalling and reinstalling the store, changing my DNS, flushing this cache, deleting that one, etc. I was super excited for the game pass
and ended up being super disappointed, especially since terribly buggy rollouts like this encourage people to pirate, instead of actually buying these games.

If anybody has anything creative, and not the copy and paste responses microsoft has be doling out, I'd greatly appreciate that.

Hey, so brilliant response mate, he's letting you know that if you're using the Xbox App (Beta) you should expect issues, meaning switch off it to the normal xbox console companion if you haven't, otherwise you just submit a ticket and wait.

For World War Z and it is the season pass. I bought two of them and gifted it to some friends but for some reason they can't use it on the pc version of it.

The PC version of World War Z on Game Pass can not use DLC from the Xbox One version.

Unless a PC game is on
this list it can not use DLC's for Xbox One, gifted or otherwise.

You might've bought the console version of game pass which is not compatible with pc. To use game pass on pc, you either need to buy the pc version, or game pass ultimate

I have purchased the PC (Beta) Xbox pass.
