    Game won't launch properly


    Hello, today I bought and downloaded Fallout 4 from the Microsoft store, but whenever I try and launch it, it pops up a screen saying, "This game is already running. If you just quit the game, it should be ready to launch again in a moment." And shows and Error code: (0x8007005) I checked task manager and checked if the game was running anywhere, but there was nothing. Does anyone know what I should do? Thanks!

    :)

    Game won't launch properly

    Edit: It happened again, I'm using Windows 10, and this is the first time I'm playing this game. This has not happened to any other games I've played. I tried reinstalling the game and seeing in task manager if fallout was still running in the background, but nothing worked. I'll try and use some of your suggestions, Thanks!

    Game won't launch properly

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this Protox_909

    Additional information is needed, please tell me:

    Are you using windows 10 or 11?
    Is this the first time that you try to play this game or you were able to do it previously?
    Are you using an insider build / beta OS in your PC?
    Is this happening only with this game or if you try a different game something similar happens?

    And, what did you tried so far to fix this
    In that way I can advise you different things or how to proceed

    —————

    In the meantime try and double check this

    Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update
    Click Check for Updates

    Click the Download and Install Now option, if available (Install optional updates as well)

    Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services and update everything too. (Click on get updates)

    Now, sign out from your account on both Xbox app and Microsoft Store and do this:

    Go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair and then reset

    Then do the same for the Xbox and Fallout app:

    Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair and then reset

    Finally do this:

    Step 1: Open the Run window by pressing Windows + R key.

    Step 2: Input WSReset.exe in the Run window and click OK.

    Step 3: Then a command prompt window will appear. After a few seconds, Windows Store will open.

    Sign in again on both Microsoft store and Xbox app with your account and try again

    Game won't properly launch on Windows 10

    Fallout Shelter, Solitaire, and some random freemium game I tried all work right now, and in the past I've had Forza Apex & Forza Horizon 3 Demo work without issue. As for system requirements, my PC far exceeds the minimum & recommended. The issue I've been
    having with the game doesn't seem to be necessarily common, but there are others having the same exact issue judging by all the 1-Star reviews of the game.

    Thanks for the details,

    Are you also using a Windows 10 Technical Insider build or the standard consumer release of Windows 10?
