    Games Pass for Windows installing issues


    I'm having issues with installing several games through the Xbox app. When installing it will stay on Preparing 0% for about 5 minutes then it will just return the error 0x00000001 everytime. I have tested this so far with Microsoft Flight Simulator, Dishonored Death of the Outsider, Katana Zero, and Forza Horizon 4. Only Forza Horizon 4 was able to install with the rest returning the previously noted error.

    I have already tried making sure I'm on the latest version of Windows which I am, no optional updates to install. Tried installing KB5004476 through the Update Catalog but got the error that it wasn't applicable to my system. Tried rebooting my PC with no changes to the issue. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the gaming services app with no change either. There shouldn't be any issues with storage space as I still have 3TB of space on the drive I'm installing on.

    One thing to note was I had issues for a while with the Windows store in which it wouldn't reinstall for me at all due to the computer initially being managed through InTune which has been since removed from. I have only recently been able to get the Windows store working by installing the Windows Store appxbundle using https://store.rg-adguard.net/ that gathered files from Microsoft's website to provide the appropriate files necessary such as NET Native Framework.

    Would appreciate any help.

    :)

    Games Pass for Windows installing issues

    Hello KieranBradley,

    I would recommend trying to perform a clean boot in Windows!

    If the issue persists, try to clear the Microsoft Store cache

    1. Press Windows Key + R to launch Run.
    2. Enter wsreset.exe and hit Enter.
    3. Once the reset process finished, restart your PC and then check if it helps.

    To install games from Xbox Game Pass, you must have an active Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or Xbox Game Pass for PC plan.

    If you want to install games from the Xbox Game Pass catalogue and you are not able to, make sure your Xbox Game Pass subscription is active: Check your status

    Also, make sure your device is online. If needed, follow the steps in: Fix network connection issues in Windows
