Can't games to launch or install (PC Gamepass)

Emerald_Void · Jun 29, 2021

Like the title says, I can't play any of the games i have installed (cause they won't launch) and I can't download any games.

When I click to play a game, it says I need to install "Gaming Services" from the Microsoft store even though it is already installed. and every time I try to download a game, I get error code "0x80000001"

My gamepass was working fine until one day it wasn't. This is a frustrating error and I have read all of the FAQ's, and help guides from Microsoft as well as watched several YouTube videos about this and I STILL can't find a solution.

Any and all help would be appreciated. It's bad enough that I have sadly been considering cancelling my subscription. I don't want to do that but, I also don't want to pay for something I can't use.

If you have gamepass installed on your pc try launching the game through that

In this case, we suggest to check the steps mentioned on both links to troubleshoot your issue:

Neither of those links solved my issue

Launching the game isn't the only problem, you can't play without Battleye. And the Gamepass installer for Battleye is broke

No, They are not. I had GamePass PC earlier and everything used to work properly but then one day I got notification that there is an offer on GamePass Ultimate so I upgraded but since the day GamePass PC subscription ended and GamePass Ultimate subscription started, I can only launch games that are on EA Play and that too from EA Desktop App only.

Now, because the GamePass Ultimate was a 3 month subscription, so I can't even go back to GamePass PC until it's over.

Any game that launches from Xbox app for Windows fails to launch and tried repairing and resetting the Xbox and Microsoft Apps, sign-out and then again sign-in on both the apps but still same thing.

For Example, Forza Horizon 4 used to work earlier but now it does not.
