gaming services stops Xbox app from launching

Temisthebard · Jul 24, 2023

the issue is as put in the title gaming services won't let the xbox app properly launch i know this cause i've run though all other troubleshoots to try and fix the issue reinstalling the app do a scan to see if the program is corrupted or incomplete many solutions that have been posted to this forum but only uninstalling gaming services with this command in powershell (get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers) allows the app to boot up properly where upon which it reinstalls gaming services and works fine until I close the app and try to open it up again idk what else to do outside or a full system wipe in hopes that fixes the issue or updating to windows 11 which i can't do cause my computer isn't compatible despite meeting and surpassing all system requirements

Hey there!

Nice to meet you! I'm Darhyl, an Independent Advisor. I'm sorry you are experiencing this on your Xbox app. I am here to help.

For us to further isolate the case, the issue was temporarily fixed after you have reinstalled the gaming services through powershell but right after you close and re-open the Xbox app the issue re occurs again, is that correct?

If I may ask, may I know the exact troubleshooting steps you have done so far?

Since you mentioned that your computer has met all the system requirements then your device should be compatible to play on the Xbox app.

You can confirm the app system requirements here on this link:

Don't suppose there's any way to stop the xbox app from showing the ea app games since the xbox app doesn't launch those games?

ProtoNya

open xbox app>click your name>settings>extensions>ea app>click disable

This should stop the EA app from launching when you launch the xbox app.

I had the same issue. The controller worked for navigating through Xbox app. but when a Xcloud game is launched, the inputs stopped working. I force stopped Xbox app and unpaired controller and removed it from Bluetooth devices. After reconnecting, the controller is working in Xcloud games. Hopefully it will fix your problem too. And it is for sure that this error is of Xbox app.

Having the same issue.. Launching No Mans Sky through the Xbox (beta) app redirects me to 'Gaming Services' in the Microsoft Store which says that it's installed. Have tried uninstalling both with no joy. It has launched before from the Xbox app, but won't
now.
