    I have a Windows 10 Pro installed on separate hard drive on my iMac 27-inch 2019. There is a persistent problem with Xbox app / Windows Store - whenever I try to install a game with "Administrator approval required for installation" there is an error 0x8007001f

    The following things I have tried and they do not help :

    Restarting computer

    Reinstalling XBox (Beta) app

    Running Xbox (Beta) app as administrator

    Updating Windows 10 / device drivers

    Resetting iMac NVRAM and PRAM

    Reinstalling Windows 10 on the same external and also on the iMac's internal hard drive

    The games without "Administrator approval required for installation" do install fine.

    On my Lenovo laptop the same Xbox Game Pass PC account works without any problems.

    I and some others have posted the 0x8007001f error question here before, but we have got no definite solution for the problem so far:

    Xbox Game Pass PC error 0x8007001f when installing games

    Hi, sorry for that issue, the problem is the external hard drive, for some reason (I don't know why), the games that require Administrator approval have issue on external drive.
    Thanks for the answer. External hard drive it is not the problem in my case. While trying to find a solution to this Xbox Game pass for PC / Windows Store error I did reinstall Windows 10 on my iMac's internal hard drive. The problem with error 0x8007001f
    persists even when Windows 10 is installed on the internal hard drive.

    on external macbook hard drive/dual boot) Did you figure any solution to this? i can install other games fine but when i try to install halo mcc it errors out at 4.8%
    Unfortunately the issue is still unresolved. I have the same problem with Halo or any "Administrator approval required for installation" game. It would seem that Apple Mac + Windows 10 + Xbox Game Pass PC = Error 0x8007001f

    Unable to install several games (Error 0x8007001f) and unable to play any game with Xbox Game Pass for PC

    It seems we are not the only ones (and Bandido1508 copy/paste the answer) :

    https://xbox-forums.com/threads/error-0x8007001f.320780/

    And updating does not seems to fix the problem.

    I really don't think the windows link given above are the right solution, as this is a generic windows error code (why would audio driver block Xbox games from installing... ?)

    In fact it seems that this is more a not-being and Administrator account problem :

    https://answers.microsoft.com/fr-fr...8007001F/309ead87-86b1-4f0e-9e1e-753033d27d5b

    And apparently, if Windows 10 system resides on an external hard disk it somehow messes up the installation process for "Administrator approval required for installation" games (Error 0x8007001f
    with Xbox Game Pass PC).


    At the moment, in my case, it seems there is no solution to this problem :-(

    I can't change my install (I moved Windows 10 on an external USB drive as I wanted more space for OSX on my laptop).

    I have to wait for an update of XBox app if any.

    Unfortunately the issue is still unresolved. I have the same problem with Halo or any "Administrator approval required for installation" game. It would seem that Apple Mac + Windows 10 + Xbox Game Pass PC = Error 0x8007001f

    almost identical setup and the same error. I wonder why they just don't allow folks to download the game and then we can just right click to install the game. At least that would prove the wrong or right. I just want to play AOE. If I could find my
    original game disk I would just give up trying to scrounge though numerous boards and articles, because this is now making the eventual experience not worth the headache
