Game Pass Administrator Approval required for Installation

Hello, I am having the same frustrating error when trying to install Game Pass games. After doing some testing I noticed that I can install games that don't say "Administrator Approval required for installation". I think there is a bug where the app is failing to request administrator approval so it just errors and doesn't install the game.

Games such as Sea of thieves or Broken age that don't require administrator approval install fine for me.

Good to know, I'll keep an eye out for those! Yeah I have Sea of Thieves and Broken age successfully installed as well.

says administrator approval required for installation only game that says that

That game was removed from Game Pass recently. You'll need to purchase it if you want to continue playing it.
