    Games couldn't start, Error code: (0x80070005)


    Hi,

    recently I can no longer launch games from the Xbox app with PC Game Pass. After a short loading time of each game, the error message "Something didn't work when starting your game. Error code: (0x80070005)". How can I fix this error?

    :)

    Hi there. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

    Please try the steps one at a time to resolve the issue.

    Solution 1: Repair and reset the Gaming Services app, Xbox app and the Microsoft Store app.

    Please go to Settings > Apps > Apps Features. Select Gaming Services, then click Advanced options. Click the repair button and reset button, do the same for the Xbox app and Microsoft Store app, try launching the game again using the Xbox app, and see if it works.

    Solution 2: Uninstall and reinstall the Gaming Services App

    Select the Search icon on the taskbar, type powershell, right-click on Windows PowerShell, and then select Run as administrator.

    In Windows PowerShell, type the following command and press Enter:

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

    In the same window, type the following command and press Enter:

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

    Install the app on that page and select Yes when you receive the User Account Control (UAC) prompt.

    Restart your device and try to launch the game again and see if it works.

    Solution 3:

    Please try checking for a folder named "WPSystem" in the root directory of the game, then make the name "old_WPSystem" Restart your computer after that and try launching the game to see if it works.
