  1. Downloading and playing games from the game pass on a hard drive


    so i've had a few games previously downloaded to an external hard drive and everything was working perfectly, but now all of a sudden after not doing anything for about a month, i can no longer play games that were installed onto the hard dive. I don't think that it's an issue with the hard drive because i can still play games from steam that are downloaded to it. but i also keep getting the same error message from the xbox app every time i try to download a game, whether thats to the hard drive or just to my computer. For reference the error code is always 0x00000001, I've tried all the things that it says to do on the help page, but couldn't get anything to work/

    :)

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this Patrick

    Is this error appearing everytime you try to open and install a game?
    Or only when you try to install a new game?
    Please tell me briefly which troubleshooting steps you have done so far to fix this
    In that way I can advise you different things or how to proceed

    -----
    In the meantime please try this, all together
    Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;

    Click Check for Updates;

    Click the Download and Install Now option, if available (Install optional updates as well)

    Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services and update everything too.

    Now, sign out from your account on both Xbox app and Microsoft Store and do this:

    Go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair and then reset

    Then do the same for the Xbox app:

    Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair and then reset

    Finally do this:

    Step 1: Open the Run window by pressing Windows + R key.

    Step 2: Input WSReset.exe in the Run window and click OK.

    Step 3: Then a command prompt window will appear. After a few seconds, Windows Store will open.

    Sign in again on both Microsoft store and Xbox app with your account and try again

    If that doesn't work may I know if you tried reinstalling Gaming Services using a 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
