    Can't install XBOX App on PC

    Hello Steven Fisher1,

    Thank you for your contribution to the Microsoft community.

    We totally understand that you want to fix your Xbox app on your PC. One thing you can try is to clear the Microsoft Store cache. Just a reminder, we are not able to double check your account and device here manually since we do not have the option to. No worries, we do have some troubleshooting steps here that we may use for the issue.

    Before proceeding, I need to know more details so that we can get the best possible troubleshooting for you.

    -May I know what was the last changes/updates you made on your end before the issue occurred?
    - Is everything completely working before?
    -Are you getting any error message?

    Basing on the statement you provided above, here are some troubleshooting steps that you may try:



    1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.

    2. Type "wsreset.exe" (without quotes) and press Enter.

    3. Wait for the Microsoft Store to open and see if the issue is resolved.



    If that doesn't work, you can try resetting the Windows Update components. To do this, follow these steps:



    1. Press the Windows key + X and select "Command Prompt (Admin)".

    2. Type the following commands and press Enter after each one:

    net stop wuauserv

    net stop cryptSvc

    net stop bits

    net stop msiserver

    3. Rename the SoftwareDistribution and Catroot2 folders by typing the following commands and pressing Enter after each one:

    ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

    ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old

    4. Type the following commands and press Enter after each one:

    net start wuauserv

    net start cryptSvc

    net start bits

    net start msiserver

    5. Restart your PC and try installing the Xbox app again.

    Hope I helped! Please do not hesitate to ask if you have further concerns.
