Can't download anything Xbox app for windows

No worries I fixed it!

There was a file in Xbox games, no name just numbers/letters and I could not delete it even as administrator or anything, booted in safe got rid and boom jobs a gooden

Thanks for your help

Hey Wille thank you for getting back to me.

The First thing I was unable to try, i have windows 11 and not sure if that is why but i was unable to find game service anywhere in the settings.

For the second thing,

Get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers [Enter]

this did not seem to work, it just froze up power shell, the next two commands however worked.

I then reset the pc and opened up the game pass app, and it had to install game service which it did. then straight back to the same issue.

i have tried to change the save folder but it does not seem to do anything, the settings still says xbox games as the save folder not any other that i select

Kind regards,

Dan

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there.

I'm Wille, an Independent advisor and I am here to help you with your concern.

I'm sorry you're having this problem, I have some tips that might help. Please follow the step below calmly for it to complete successfully.

1. Windows + I > Applications > Applications and Features;

2. Search "Game Service" > Click "..." > Advanced Options > Restore;

3. Try starting your games again.

If the problem persists, completely reinstall the game services:

1. Click Start Menu > Windows Power Shell > Run as Administrator;

2. Type or paste each command, and at the end, press Enter to process it:

Get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers [Enter]

REG DELETE "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServices" /F [Enter]

REG DELETE "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServicesNet" /F [Enter]

3. Restart your device.

Launch the Xbox app. You should see a blue banner with the following message: "This app needs an extra component. Game services are required to play some games. Administrator approval is required. Install". Select Install to reinstall Game Services. After the installation is complete, you will be able to install and launch the games again.

If that doesn't work, open the Admin command prompt, type or paste the following command below and press Enter:

start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

Process the installation, reboot and test.

If it still persists, try changing the download location and storage of the games:

Press the Windows key and select > Settings > System > Storage. Select Change where new content is saved. Using the menu under Where apps will be saved , choose the desired drive.

Please, if it doesn't work, reply to thread. I have a few more alternatives that might help. Do not give up!

Waiting your answer. Hugs!

That's great, Dan

About the command, it works for Windows 11 too, in some cases it is necessary to remove all users:

Get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage

Anyway, I'm really happy to hear you got it sorted out.

Same here, just get a subscription, but I cannot download anything, it keeps saying : Get a Game pass, and the xbox app shows that I've already a subscription ...

Try to delog/relog, got the last version of windows and xbox app and I can't DL anything ....
