Error code 0x80070057 when trying to install games on gamepass for PC, how to fix?

I have just re-loaded Windows 8.1 on my PC, but now find that I cannot re-install Microsoft Solitaire Collection. It always fails with "couldn't be installed" message with error code 0x80070057.

Is there a fix or alternate action I can take??

Hi,
I recommend that you check that the games are installed correctly on your pc, and the games are played from the games library

I tried to reinstall Vampyr, and now I get error 0x80070057 when I try to install any games. This app is truly, truly awful.

Same error here, also not fixed after following all instructions you linked. What is it with these gamepass for PC games not installing correctly, ever? I've had the literal same exact error from trying to install VAMPYR before, all the way back at the
launch of gamepass for PC, and just now trying again, it still has this error. Fix your goddamn service already.

Hi,

The Xbox App isn't a stand alone downloading app like for example, Steam or GoG. The Xbox App is simply a portal to allow you to download Game Pass games. The downloading is actually completed via the Windows Store.

Since Xbox App uses the Windows Store, error code 0x80070057 is actually a Windows 10 error code. There are many guides on the net to potentially fix this error, just google 'Windows error 0x80070057 like this
one

Note: You should not need to install any free applications on any of these sites.
If you do, you do so at your own risk.

Likewise, error code 0x80070005 is also a Windows 10 error often referred to as an 'access denied' error. If you get this error when trying to change where default applications are installed, it typically means there is already a folder on the drive from
a previous PC or Windows installation.

Did you take any of these drives from a previous PC or have you recently re-installed Windows 10 from scratch?

All Windows 10 Applications install to a hidden folder called WindowsApps. On the C:\ drive, WindowsApps is located in a hidden folder in C:\Program Files.
Do not attempt to modify this folder. On other drives the WindowsApps folder will be located in the Root directory. So on say F:\ drive it would be F:\WindowsApps.

Do you already have a WindowsApps folder in your F:\ drive?

i've got the same error code 0x87e00013 when an update is available for a gamepass game ...The only way to bypass that is to uninstall and reinstall the game , it's not very practical hope this can be fixe when the pc gamepass leave beta .
