    Exact same problem here. After restarting a few times finally managed to get Skype to uninstall. Struggling to get it to reinstall from xbox store now though Games&apps refuse to open :(

    Hi there!

    Apologies for the late reply.

    If you are still running into the same issues with apps not starting we suggest following the

    crashing games guide.

    If that does not help either be sure to
    soft factory reset     the console by choosing keep my games and apps on step 7.

    Feel free to post back and let us know how the console is doing!

    Games won't play on Game Pass Windows 10

    I have not, I have been playing it on steam myself as mentioned above, it does have to do with the Xbox app for sure. My other games on there work fine, my step games work fine, it's just those 2 that refuse to open in the Xbox app.
