Should you have not backup the registry before the deletion of XboxLive then you may need to perform extensive back up of your files to reinstall your Windows. Please backup any important files you have in your computer and preferred themes. If you have Windows 11, please check the steps below:

1. Make sure you back up your data
   
   • If you have personal data and files that you want to save, back them up to an external hard drive, USB thumb drive, SD card, or cloud location (such as OneDrive) before you begin to reinstall Windows 11.
     
2. Make sure Windows 11 is activated
   
   • Windows 11 must be activated after it’s reinstalled. Usually this happens automatically after you go online. For more info, see "Activating after reinstalling Windows" in Activate Windows.
     
3. You’ll need to link your Microsoft account to your digital license before you reinstall Windows
   
   • In Windows 11, you must link your Microsoft account to the Windows 11 digital license on your PC before you can reactivate Windows. For more info, see "Associate your Windows license with your Microsoft account" in Reactivating Windows after a hardware change.
     
4. You'll need to reactivate Windows 11 if you've made a significant hardware change to your PC
   
   • If you reinstall Windows 11 after you make a significant hardware change to your PC (such as replacing the motherboard), it may no longer be activated. You can use the Activation troubleshooter to reactivate Windows. For more info, see Using the Activation troubleshooter.
     
5. You’ll need to reinstall the edition of Windows that matches your license
   
   • When you reinstall Windows 11, you'll need to select the edition of Windows that matches your digital license. For example, if you’re running Windows 11 Home, you’ll need to install Windows 11 Home again.
     
   • To see which edition of Windows you're running, go to Start > Settings > System > About . Your edition is listed under Windows specifications.

I was having the same issue. When you uninstall the game and reinstall, Microsoft uses the same bad information in the registry to install the file again.

Here's the solution:

Open the registry and find #gamename# and delete the key. Then repeat find (F3).

This will take some time. If you find keys that will not let you delete them, it's because there's another user that has the game installed. You must login that user and edit the registry again deleting all the keys with the #gamename#.

My #gamename# was taptiles
