    Can`t install games on Xbox App - It ask for admin aproval


    I use the Xbox App for almost 2 years with no problem. I already have some games installed that work with no problem.
    Sudenly, this month the app dont Install games because it says I need Admin aproval.
    I`m the only account in this PC and is the Admin account
    I try almost everything I can find in the forums (Reset cache of the store and app, check for registry problems,) and still doesn`t work. I cant use the Game Pass or even the the games I bought.
    Please, I need help.

    :)

    Well it looks right to me. I don't see any other files you should need to make admin other than those 2 (XboxAppServices.exe and XboxPcApp.exe). I'm kind of out of ideas at this point. You did mention that you did store resets, cache, registry, etc. I assume you also did the PowerShell one that completely resets the Windows Store. I really don't want to suggest wiping the partition and doing a clean windows install, but since so many things have been changed it could not be helping us either try to solve it. I would do that as a last ditch response. Let me think overnight and look into some things and see if I can come up with anything else. We may just be at a dead end here :(

    Of course, is the first thing I did. The only way I find to do it, tough, is using the Task Manager to open the .exe of the App and check "Run as administrator" there, but I do it.
    Please see my solution on how to fix it here:

    I did it. It didn`t work. One of the two .exe already had the "run as administrator" check, I did that yesterday.

    Have you uninstalled the app and downloaded it again through the Microsoft Store or the Xbox PC Beta App webpage? Also try right-clicking the app in All Apps menu -> More -> App settings. Then click on Repair first and see if that fixes it, if not do Reset. Only thing I can think of atm is either it isn't the latest version or the install needs Repaired/Uninstalled/Reset. Can you also post a screenshot of what are running on the "Details" tab of Task Manager when you have the Xbox App running? Maybe there is other exe files you have to also Run as Administrator that I'm unaware of.

    PS: Repair or Reset of the app will probably reset the Compatibility "Run as administrator" checkbox, so will probably have to set that again on all the exe files you need to.

    PSS: It seems Runtime Broker.exe also runs with the Xbox App. This file is located in C:\Windows\System32\ folder. You can't actually set Compatibility options on this file so that shouldn't be the problem. The only other file is the actual Xbox.exe file which is located in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\ The problem if this file is causing you the issue is that you can't actually get access to that folder in order to make the file Run as administrator. :(

    I try that yesterday, and I try it again now. Still doesn`t work.
    This is a bad cut and paste of everything I had running in Details. I was going to screen only the Xbox App related .exes, but I rather screenshoot everything to be sure.
