    Cannot install games that require Administrator privileges


    Good day,
    I'm currently unable to install some games out of Xbox Gamepass' catalogue on my Windows 10 PC: after some tests, I noticed that all games I could not install (Halo: MCC, The Outer Worlds, The Banner Saga and Undertale) stated in their pages that they
    required administrator approval. I then tried other games (namely, Gears of War, Ory and the Blind Forest and Halo Wars: DE) that do not require administrator approval and they were all correctly installed. Now, my user is an Administrator and furthermore,
    trying to run the XBox App explicitly as an Administrator did not solve the issue. Is there any other service/application that needs Administrator privileges in order to perform the installation?

    Thank you for your attention.

    :)

    Hi BoyFantasticITA,

    here is a picture of the error as it is shown while trying to download Halo:MCC

    and here is one from The Outer Worlds (I just noticed that the two error codes are diffent, but, while searching for 0x803fb107 I found only a post that suggested running wsreset.exe, which did not work for me).

    By the way, the assumption the problem is caused by admin approval comes only from empirical testing: I received no error message pointing that out, I only noticed that games I cannot install are the ones requiring admin approval
