Thanks for letting us know, Tritonpr95x!

To check, how is your computer connected to your network? A wired connection is recommended, if possible. Also, do you see any issue downloading/updating any other games or apps besides Sea of Thieves?

If you've already tried rebooting the PC, the next step to try would be uninstalling the game, then rebooting one more time and trying to reinstall a fresh copy of the game itself, which should include any updates that have been released for the game.

Update: Gaming services is finally installed after hours. Still an error when trying to download a big game (Sea of Thieves is the one I am trying to download). But now it gives another error code: 0x80070005. This is very annoying, trying to get this
fixed for days now.

The latest soundtrack for the Seabound Soul update for Sea of Thieves is really beautiful.

My goodness, that was quite the list and very extensive. Thanks for letting me know.

However, did you check the link I posted? It does have some extra steps to try depending if you're on W11 or W10.
