Gaming Services and Forza Horizon 5 stuck in Pending Update

4Casted · Nov 30, 2021

I've tried every solution I could find. Forza Horizon 5 is stuck as "queued 47%" after repairing and reseting the app. When I open the Microsoft Store, it shows "Forza Horizon 5 Standard Edition" "Forza Horizon 5" and "Gaming Services" all as pending updates. They are permanently stuck on this. I can no longer play or install any games from Xbox Game Pass on PC.

Hi there 4Casted welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. I suggest you try these basic troubleshooting steps!

Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;

Click Check for Updates;

Click the Download and Install Now option, if available;

Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services.

Then try this:

Go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.

After that, click repair and then restore, open the app and try again.

Then do the same for the Xbox app:

Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.

After that, click repair and then restore, open the app and try again.

If it still doesn't work you're going to uninstall the games services using a powershell command, then you're going to open the gamepass app, it will ask you to download and install the game services again :

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.

Hey BLToaster!

Are you able to find the Warthog on Forza Horizon 3 on Windows 10 now? Try checking your Garage as well as your Gifts menu in-game and let us know if you're able to locate the Warthog yet. Be sure to install any pending game updates for Forza Horizon 3 before
checking.

Thanks!
