Error with Xbox app on PC. (Windows 10 64 BITS) (Tried: Reinstalling both Xbox live app and...

hey!

if you are using windows 10 try rightclicking the app and click run as administrator if that doesnt work have you tried reinstalling it or making a second user on that pc/laptop

if this still doesnt work and you signed into the xbox app your account could have restrictions on it. to check this go to your privacy settings and look at account restrictions.

if this still doesnt work make sure the app runs to your pc's bit rate. to see this open your control pannel and search "specifications" that should list if your pc is 32 or 64 bit if its 32 bit rightclick the xbox beta app and open its folder then look
for xbox beta (32 bit) or 64 bit depending on what the specs said if this still doesnt work there could either be a bug with your hard drive or with the app's compatibility with your pc its self.

if none of that works i have a xbox live account "" if you contact me on there i can try and help you.

I have made some research and found that this issue is related to the 32 bit Χbox App. I have clean installed Windows 10 32 bit on 2 machines and the Xbox Console Companion will fail to connect to parties (especially partys containing PCs and mobile phones
- I managed to connect to a party chat with 1 other friend playing on Xbox). Installing 64 bit Windows on both, same machines resolves the error and I can connect to parties normally. Returning to 32 bit brings the error back. I have submitted this feedback
through the app on Windows. You should take a look at this.

If you encounter a 16-bit application error message for games or apps that are actually designed for 64-bit systems, it could indicate a different underlying issue.

The above comments come from the fact that if you do a general internet search of such an error, you'll get articles and forum posts of users encountering this problem while actually attempting run old 16 bit games and software on modern 64 bit versions of Windows 10 or 11, not while running 64 bit apps on a modern 64 bit Windows 10/11 PC.

DOSBox is a PC emulator, but, it has no relation to this issue at all.

Have you run the system file checker utility in Windows? Open the Command Prompt as an administrator and enter the command sfc /scannow to scan and repair system files.

Can you provide some more information on your system specs please?

I suspect either some key system files are damaged/corrupt/out of date. Or, some background third party app is interfering with the Xbox app, such as an anti-virus or other security program. Unlike games from Steam, GoG or EA, to name a few, Xbox game installs are locked and encrypted. Something in Windows or running in the background may be making Windows think these games are 16 bit applications.

Bear in mind that there a myriad of PC hardware configurations with many different software and hardware setups. Without perhaps doing such a drastic step of completely formatting your PC and installing a fresh version Windows, it may not be possible to fix on its own.

Reinstalling the Operating system (and I mean booting from a bootable USB drive with a new fresh install of Windows 10 or 11) is what I am referring to here, not attempting to reset Windows from within the OS.

Hi again, !

Thanks for taking the time to update us on this issue. We'd recommend that you try resetting the Xbox App on your Windows 10 PC and then sign back into your account. The steps for resetting the Xbox App are as follows:

-Open the settings app.

-Navigate to System.

-In the system sub-menu, navigate to Apps and Features.

-Search for the app in question.

-After selecting the app, select advanced options.

-Tap reset.

Once you sign back into your account, do you encounter this same error when you try to invite a friend?

I've tried to reset a Xbox - no results. The same error.

- I've tred reinstal sea of thieves on both (PC and laptop) the same

- I've tried to reinstal windows on PC. the same.

The funiest thing is that PC and laptop can invite each other for galeon. There is problem only with sloop...

Hi,

Most 32-bit apps and games can run just fine on 64-bit versions of Windows 10 (Windows 11 is only 64-bit).

What program are you having issues with?
