How can I install this "Xbox Live Services" app/component?

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this BLINKINGSTEAK12

Did you tried checking the Xbox PC app?
You can install gaming services from there as well

When you open the Xbox application a blue notification with the following message is going to appear at the bottom:
"This app needs an extra component. Gaming Services is needed for playing some games. Administrator approval required. Install"

Select Install to reinstall Gaming Services, once installed check again

Let me know if you’re able to install gaming services in that way

Hi Mateo, please try installing minecraft and gaming services via Xbox app. Not Microsoft store.
If possible cancel those downloads

If the issue persists reinstall Gaming Services using powershell command

Press Windows key + X and then select Windows PowerShell (Admin).

Type or copy / past the following command and press Enter:

Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers

Restart the PC and Open the Xbox application.

A blue notification with the following message is going to appear at the bottom:

Select Install to reinstall Gaming Services, once installed check again if you can install Minecraft.

If that doesn't work reinstall the Microsoft store and all its components :

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues launching the Xbox App.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Please run the App Installer as Administrator. To do this, right-click the Xbox App shortcut and select Run as Administrator.

Make sure that the Xbox App has the necessary permissions to install or update.

And then reset the Xbox App because corrupted app data can cause errors. Open Settings > Apps > Installed Apps. Find Xbox App and click the three dots (⋮). Select Advanced Options > Reset.

Next is to repair or reinstall gaming services by opening Settings > Apps > Installed Apps. Find Gaming Services and click Repair or Reset.

If the issue persists, uninstall Gaming Services. Please open PowerShell as Administrator and run:

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

Open the Xbox App—it will prompt you to reinstall Gaming Services.

Then clear Microsoft Store cache. Press Windows + R, type wsreset, and hit Enter. A blank Command Prompt window will appear—wait for it to close and for the Microsoft Store to restart.

After that is to update Windows and App components. Make sure that your system and Xbox App are running the latest versions. To do this, please open Settings > Windows Update and install any pending updates.

Open the Microsoft Store > Library, and update Gaming Services, Xbox App, and related components.

Kindly check for corrupted system files. Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:

sfc /scannow

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

If the issue persist after performing the troubleshooting steps, uninstall the app entirely and reinstall. To do this, open Settings > Apps > Installed Apps.

Find the Xbox App and click Uninstall.

Download and install the latest version of the app via the Microsoft Store.

Thank you for your cooperation.
