fallout 76 and other newer titles wont launch with the xbox app on pc

Please do it and let me know how it goes.

Just so I can know, you are not on the Xbox Insider program, are you?

Hello, CeoOfShrek. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

You mentioned you already tried some fixes, but would you please also try this one below? Just to make sure it is not an issue with the Xbox app or the gaming services. If the issue persists after these steps, please let me know so we can proceed troubleshooting it.

First, see if Windows is updated:

Open Settings > Update and security > Windows Update > Check for updates. Install any optional update too.

After that:

- Completely uninstall Xbox App (and Xbox Companion App if you have it). Use their own uninstaller (just search for Xbox on Windows start and click on uninstall).

- After uninstalling, go to start > Type PowerShell > Right click it and select “Run as administrator” > Type the following commands and press enter (run one at a time):

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxApp | Remove-AppxPackage

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.GamingServices | Remove-AppxPackage –allusers

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

(If you receive an error when executing any of these commands, don't worry. Just follow the other steps)

- Press Windows + R and type in "regedit". Press enter.

- Search for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services

- Delete the folders "GamingServices", "GamingServices.net" and "xinputhid" (if they're still there).

- Click on Start > Search for Credential manager > Windows credentials. Search for Xbl|DeviceKey, click on it and then Remove. Also, remove all the XblGrts and XboxLive credentials.

- Delete Accounts and Cache folders at:

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\TokenBroker

- Also delete Microsoft Store local cache files at:

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe

- Go to Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features > Microsoft Store > Advanced Options > Reset.

- Go to Start > Settings > Gaming > Game Mode > Set if OFF.

- Go to Start > Settings > Gaming > Xbox Networking > Test your connection. It should show Open NAT and connected to server. If you receive any error message, please let me know.

- Go to Start > Settings > Accounts > Sign-in Options > Privacy > Uncheck "Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device and reopen my apps after an update and restart."

- Press Windows + R. Type TEMP and press enter. Delete all the files inside this folder. Repeat this step by typing %TEMP% and Prefetch. Delete everything on both folders too.

- Press Windows + R. Type WSRESET and press enter.

- If you're using a proxy, please stop using it for now:

- Press Windows Key + R. Type inetcpl.cpl and press Enter. Click the Connections tab, and then click LAN settings. Uncheck the Use a proxy server for your LAN check box. Click Ok.

- Please check if Date and Time is set correct. Uncheck "Set the time automatically", do it manually.

- Go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DoSvc

- Change Start value to 3.

- Restart your computer.

- Press Windows + R > Type services.msc > Press enter.

- Find Delivery Optimization > Click on Start > Make sure it is set to run as Automatically.

- Run PowerShell as an Administrator again and run the command:

start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

- Install the app on that page and select Yes when you receive the User Account Control (UAC) prompt. Make sure you are signed into the Microsoft Store with the same Microsoft account that is on your computer.

- On the Microsoft Store > Click on your profile > App settings > Enable the Offline permissions option.

- Finally, install Xbox App (and Xbox Companion App if you had it) again. Open it and login to the correct Microsoft account. If you are on the Xbox Insiders program, click on Profile > Settings > General > Uncheck “Use advanced installation and management features”. Restart you computer if it was enabled.

- On the Xbox App > Right click on the game you want to play > Create a desktop shortcut. Try to run the game from the shortcut if it doesn't run on the Xbox App.

Try to run your games again by the shortcut and let me know how it goes.

You are welcome. Sorry we could not fix this. Hope it will be fixed soon by the game developers.

I just saw that other players are experiencing this issue with Fallout too. So you are not alone on this.

If you need anything else, please let me know.

It didn't work so im positive that it is a game issue, hopefully the devs fix it, but thanks for helping.

If only Fallout 76 is showing this error and all the other games are fine, I would say it could be a game issue.

You can still try to create another local account on your computer and try to install and run Fallout 76 on this local account:

Press Win+R Keys.
Type netplwiz and press Enter.
Click Add button.
Click Sign in without a Microsoft Account. If you do not see that option, disconnect from the Internet.
Click Local account if prompted.
Type the username you want, and the password. You must also specify a hint. Click Next.
Click Finish.

Make the new local account an admin account:
Select Start > Settings > Accounts > Family & Other Users > Select the Account Owner Name (you should see "Local account" below the name) > Change Account Type.
Select Administrator, and then select OK.
Sign in with the new Administrator Account.

After that:
Go to Start > Type Services > Open it.
Find all Xbox Services (Xbox Accessory Management Service, Live Auth Manager, Live Game Save, Live Networking Service). Right Click > Properties> Set the startup type to Automatic. Also Start them.
Go to Start > Settings > Accounts > Sign-in Options > Privacy > Uncheck "Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device and reopen my apps after an update and restart." Restart your PC.

If you want to try this, let me know how it goes.
