Cant launch Xbox App

Dillon Ritter · Apr 16, 2025 at 9:02 AM

The Xbox app will not open for me. It will open and show the xbox symbol and then promptly close.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app.

I have repaired the app and reset the app.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled game services, xbox game bar and any other xbox related application.

I have done the DISM scans and repairs and I have done the SFC scans.

I don't know what else to do.

Windows 11, 1070ti, i9 9900k., 16gb ram, 500gb NVME.

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues launching the Xbox App.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Please restart Xbox and gaming services. To do this, press Windows + R, type services.msc, and hit Enter. Look for "Gaming Services" and "Xbox Live Auth Manager" in the list.

Right-click each service, select "Restart," and ensure their startup type is set to "Automatic."

And then re-register the Xbox App. By opening PowerShell as an administrator.

Run the following command to re-register the Xbox app:

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers *XboxApp* | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Next is to clear Microsoft store cache. Press Windows + R, type wsreset, and hit Enter. This will clear the Microsoft Store cache, which might help resolve app-related issues.

Then check for Windows updates. Please go to Settings > Windows Update and ensure your system is fully updated. Sometimes, missing updates can cause compatibility issues.

Kindly disable any third-party antivirus or firewall temporarily to see if they are interfering with the app.

Thank you for your cooperation.
