PaulGiller · Nov 19, 2021

Hi there Paul welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. Unfortunately, tons of users are experiencing this problem, some have found a solution by reinstalling the Xbox app! I suggest uninstalling the app completely! Everytime that it tried to give me a hard time I do this and it works wonders! Here are the steps!

Additional information is needed, please tell me:

Are you using windows 10 or 11?
Do you know if your windows system or any app received an update recently?
Are you using an insider build / beta OS in your system?
Or, are you part of the windows gaming program?

And, what did you tried so far to fix this
In that way I can advise you different things or how to proceed

—————

In the meantime, try this:
Reinstall Gaming Services using powershell command

Press Windows key + X and then select Windows PowerShell (Admin).

Type or copy / past the following command and press Enter:

Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers

Restart the PC and Open the Xbox application.

A blue notification with the following message is going to appear at the bottom:
"This app needs an extra component. Gaming Services is needed for playing some games. Administrator approval required. Install"

Select Install to reinstall Gaming Services, once installed check again
