Gamepass Downloads Stuck at 0%

Just to update this incase someone comes across this post and not the other thread or does not find the post in the larger thread, the following worked for me (via BuriedGiant):

First I checked my VCLIBS files in Powershell (admin):

Get-AppxPackage -Name Microsoft.VCLibs* | Sort-Object -Property Version | Select-Object Version,packagefullname -Last 100

I noticed a bigger list, so I removed all of the VCLibs I could with Powershell ("Remove-AppxPackage ..." (use the PackageFullName shown in list) e.g.:

Remove-AppxPackage Microsoft.VCLibs.110.00.UWPDesktop_11.0.61135.0_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe

I was able to remove many of them, however some got an red error code stating it has dependencies (likely Windows related apps), so I skipped them.

I logged out of Xbox and Microsoft Store.

Next I uninstalled Xbox App and Xbox Live via settings menu. Then reset Microsoft Store, and repaired it.

I manually removed Gaming Services in Powershell (admin):

get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers

After that, I went to https://store.rg-adguard.net/ and posted this link: https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/microsoft-visual-c-2015-uwp-desktop-runtime-package/9NBLGGH4RV3K

I downloaded (maybe right click "save as" If you cant download or other Browser...)

Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.UWPDesktop_14.0.30704.0_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.UWPDesktop_14.0.30704.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx

and left them in my Download folder. Check if the files are correct and have the same file ending .appx.

Open CMD (Admin) and go to your Downloads folder by typing

cd c:\Users\"YOURNAME"\Downloads

then use these commands one another:

powershell Add-AppxPackage -Path .\Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.UWPDesktop_14.0.30704.0_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx -ForceApplicationShutdown

powershell Add-AppxPackage -Path .\Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.UWPDesktop_14.0.30704.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx -ForceApplicationShutdown

Repeat this step within CMD (WITHOUT ADMIN!)

Next open Powershell (admin) and got to your Download folder again by typing

cd c:\Users\"YOURNAME"\Downloads

- make a similar step as above (this is without "powershell" in the beginning of code!):

Add-AppxPackage -Path .\Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.UWPDesktop_14.0.30704.0_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx -ForceApplicationShutdown

Add-AppxPackage -Path .\Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.UWPDesktop_14.0.30704.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx -ForceApplicationShutdown

Repeat step with Powershell (WITHOUT ADMIN!)

After that, I installed Xbox App, Xbox Live in the Microsoft Store and Gaming Services with Powershell (admin):

open a powershell(admin) and type :

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

the Microsoft Store pops up, then click install.

I opened up Xbox App and logged in and it worked

Yes, there are some players experiencing this

Is something random I think, because I'm not facing that issue.

By the way, someone posted something that worked for him.
Let me share you the other thread, try it!

Was Kyle, page 7

Hey, thanks for that. Actually I was another user creating a new thread, I'm going to share that fix to see if it works for them

And I'm glad to hear that you was able to solve it finally!

Oh :c I see
In this case let's try keeping an eye on the other thread

I just finished trying that, but unfortunately it did not work for me. After doing the steps that Kyle linked to I tried to download Bugsnax again. It caused the Xbox app to display error 0x00000001, then error 0x87e00196 after trying to start the download again. I tried the typical solution for these of reinstalling Gaming Services, but it just brought me back to my original issue.
