Help with Xbox App crashing immediately when trying to launch it - Win11

Hello,

Having a weird issue where Xbox app just crashes when I try to launch it. Here's what I tried already:

- updating Windows (in fact, today was when I got a cumulative update, although the issue was happening even before)

- going to advanced app options and clicking on Repair and Reset for both the Xbox app and the Gaming Services App

- running sfc /scannow in admin CMD (it did actually find and correct a corrupt file, but did not resolve the issue)

- updating Windows store apps

- uninstalling Xbox app and re-installing it

Here's the entry that comes up in Event Viewer:
