Cannot update games installed on the xbox game pass

Yuno71 · Sep 6, 2021

I game I installed a couple of days ago (No Man's Sky) has undergone updates, but I am not receiving them on the game pass. The only method I have found that works are uninstalling and reinstalling the game entirely.

:)

is this the only way to force an update?

Hi Yuno71! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

Unfortunately, some games need to be uninstalled and reinstalled to update them, due to the way developers release their updates.

You can try to force it by going to the windows store and clicking the button to check for updates.

Just did 2 Clean installs of Windows 10 1909.

The first install i did all windows updates/Driver updates then installed xbox pc beta game pass then installed 2 games and then attempted to install dragon center from MSI. it installed and then failed to run with the same errors i was getting before.

The second install i installed driver updates and then installed Dragon Center. Configured the system with Dragon Center. Then installed all windows updates, Xbox pc beta game pass and then installed a game and played. Dragon center still worked after playing
the game. once i restarted the computer dragon center was broken with the same errors as before. Something is breaking the program in the xbox pc game pass install.
