Error code: 0x80070002 while installing "Gaming Services" in XBox

Hi
My name is Rishabh, I hope you are doing great out there. I’m happy to help you with your question.

Error code 0x80070002 often indicates that there is an issue with downloading or installing files on your Windows system. If you're encountering this error while trying to install "Gaming Services" on Xbox Game Pass for PC, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

- Check Internet Connection:

Ensure that your internet connection is stable and working properly. A reliable internet connection is crucial for downloading and installing files.

-Restart Your PC:

Sometimes, a simple restart of your computer can resolve temporary issues. Try restarting your PC and then attempt the installation again.

-Update Windows:

Make sure your Windows operating system is up to date. Outdated system files can sometimes cause installation issues. Go to "Settings" > "Windows Update" to check for updates.

-Clear Windows Store Cache:

Clearing the cache for the Windows Store can help with installation problems. You can do this through the Windows Troubleshoot settings:
Go to "Settings" > "Update & Security" > "Troubleshoot."
Under "Additional troubleshooters," select "Windows Store Apps" and run the troubleshooter.

-Reset Microsoft Store:

If the issue persists, you can try resetting the Microsoft Store app:
Type "wsreset" in the Windows search bar and press Enter.
This will open the Microsoft Store and reset its cache.

-Check Storage Space:

Ensure that you have sufficient storage space on your PC's hard drive to download and install the game or app.

-Disable Third-Party Antivirus/Firewall:

Sometimes, third-party antivirus or firewall software can interfere with downloads and installations. Temporarily disable them and try the installation again.

-Check User Account Control (UAC) Settings:

Ensure that User Account Control is enabled on your system. If it's disabled, it might cause installation issues.

-Run Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter:

Windows has built-in troubleshooters that can identify and fix common issues with apps from the Microsoft Store. You can find the troubleshooters in "Settings" > "Update & Security" > "Troubleshoot."

-Create a New User Profile:

Sometimes, issues can be tied to user profiles. Creating a new user profile and trying the installation from there can help identify if the problem is specific to your current profile.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks and regards
