    Can't install or play installed games on Xbox app, telling me to download 'Gaming Services'


    The Xbox App tells me to download gaming services, but I already have it and have reinstalled it several times. The app won't let install anything or play any games that I've already installed. I have checked for updates, reinstalled the Xbox app, removed services in PowerShell and reinstalled, removed it in RegEdit and reinstalled. It was working fine just yesterday.

    xbox game pass pc general settings error and inability to install anything via xbox app.

    Hi Tomm,

    I'm able to open up the XBOX app just fine, but can't get to the general settings area, IMG2 as above.

    If I try to launch a game, or download a new game. It is telling me, that the gaming services needs to be installed. And when I click on install, it shows a popup on the notification area, that gaming services is getting installed/got installed.

    It happens everytime, even if I already installed the gaming services on the machine.

    On the games with Epic/EA launcher, it is constantly trying to install the launcher even tho they are already installed and even logged in.

    Kind regards

    Yakup

    Xbox app can't install paid games on ARM devices

    you get that error because gaming services is not installed or updated, gaming services can only install and launch on standard pc architecture and not arm based devices.

    the xbox app requires gaming services to be installed to be able to download most xbox app games (gamepass games).
