    Gamepass app automatically installs games that I've previously uninstalled. Is there a way to make it stop?

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    good night

    probably the problem occurs with EA games, just access the EA app and uninstall through their app. the EA Desktop.

    if not, go to apps, using the system tool, go to the windows icon, and in settings (gear icon) and in apps, and look for the game to uninstall.

    Uninstalled games keep reinstalling themselves onto my PC without my knowledge or consent. Is this a bug?

    Hello Overtrón,my name is Oskayra, I will be happy to help you in any way possible.

    Automatically reinstalling uninstalled games may be a bug or unwanted setting in the Xbox app.

    The Xbox app may be set to automatically install games you've played in the past.

    You can check these settings in the Xbox app:

    Settings > Games > Installation.
    Make sure the "Automatically install games I've played" box is unchecked.

    I hope the information is helpful to you, if not, let me know that I will be happy to continue helping you, good luck and happy day.

    Sincerely,
    Oskaira.

    Forza horizon 4, I have hard disc, wants me to buy game pass to play it?!

    if you previously played fh4 on gamepass then got the hard copy maybe try uninstall your installed version and reinstall using the disc

    Cannot download gaming services simply because the "download button" does not even appear

    Try this then, since they're installed, you will uninstall it via powershell and then open the Xbox app and it will ask you to install it again automatically within the app, ok?

    In the windows search bar type Powershell > Right click and select open as administrator > Type the command: "get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-Appxpackage –allusers" > Wait for the process to finish and then restart the PC, then open your Xbox gamepass app, it will ask you to install the gaming services again, install it and try again.

    Outriders not installed but says "installing 86% complete on gamepass app"

    Thank you for your reply,

    I did have it installed on an external drive, but when i started having the original crash issues i uninstalled it and wanted to install it on an internal hdd, but now there is absolutely no instance of Outriders installed on any drive, but when i click on the game in the gamepass app it shows me that it is 86% installed. I am completely confused by it, i have uninstalled both the windows store using powershell, and the xbox app itself. I have tried troubleshooting the apps, resetting them, uninstalling and reinstalling the apps themselves, yet still nothing.

    When i click cancel download it tells me "this will uninstall the game" which is what i want, but then i click on outriders in the gamepass app store, and it comes up instantly as 86% installed again.
