    Cannot Install or use any Xbox Apps on new laptop


    I recently purchased a new Acer Aspire 3 15 running on windows 11 and have been consistently having issues using any Xbox related app. This includes the main Xbox app and xbox gaming services.

    Whenever I try to install or use the gaming services app or main Xbox app i get error message 0x8007490 and the apps either cannot download, saying "something happened on our end", or I am given the error message as seen above. I have tried methods listed on other posts, such as running windows troubleshooter to fix the windows updater and installing the latest updates. I have also tried WSreset along with other generic attempts at a fix. I am at my wits end here and just want to be able to use my new laptop to its full functionality

    Edited to include screenshot of error in Windows Store

    Hi. My name is Brilliant, an independent advisor. I am happy to assist you today.

    I am sorry to hear that. I advise that you reset/reinstall your Microsoft Store. You should be able to reinstall the store by following these steps:
    1. Go to settings> Update and Security> troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooter> Then click Windows Store apps
    2. Temporarily Disable the Anti-virus (If you have third party anti virus)
    3. Run Powershell.
    4. On Powershell (admin), copy and paste the command below:
    Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_. InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    For more details on the above and more troubleshooting tips, kindly visit: https://learn.microsoft.com/answers/questions/891536/how-to-reinstall-microsoft-store

    I hope this helps.

    Hi Dalton, my name is Oskayra and I will be happy to help you.

    Unfortunately those settings are only available in windows 10, not 11.

    Another option I can recommend depending on your problem and I have also experienced in my experience is to reinstall windows and check for windows update for all my updates. I use windows 10 and have had no problems with anything, but I have noticed that windows 11 does, if so you could also report the problem through microsoft support at the following link.

    [https://support.microsoft.com/home/contact?SourceApp=smcivr1]

    Navigate to the search bar and enter your problem. Press Enter or click "Get Help". Log in to access the support options. Choose the appropriate product, select the appropriate category and confirm your selection. The system will provide you with support options to assist you further.

    Another Option is to check with a driver updater like driverbooster in its pro version and update all windows plugins.

    I hope it will be solved.

    Thanks for your understanding and I hope the problem will be solved.

    Best regards Oskayra

    Thank you for the reply, I am confused about the first step of your directions, since I do not see those options in my settings

    This is what my settings options look like. I attempted the command in PowerShell despite not doing the first step of the instructions and got errors that look like this:

    Tetris Effect Connected: A network error occurred. Please check your internet connection. Can you help to resolve this?

    Thanks again.

    Somewhat reluctant to change the router settings, I decided to dig out my old laptop, installed the Xbox app and tetris app onto it. It worked. Good news as it shows it must be a config issue on the PC itself - the laptop was tested on the same network.

    Any other suggestions on modifying settings on the PC itself to get the game working?
