How do i fix the xbox app on my pc

Hey there!

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

Since you're unable to update both the Xbox app and Windows 11, you will need to perform the Windows Update Troubleshooter:

If you get an error code while downloading and installing Windows updates, the Update Troubleshooter can help resolve the problem.

Select Start > Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters. Next, under Most Frequent, select Windows Update > Run.

When the troubleshooter is finished running, it's a good idea to restart your device.

Next, check for new updates. Select Start > Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates and then install any available updates.

If the problems aren't all resolved, try running the troubleshooter again to check for additional errors, or see Fix Windows Update errors and follow the troubleshooting steps:

Make sure all updates both to the app and to windows have been installed

Hello, Kai. I'm Arturo, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

Based on the information you provided, I can suggest this potential solution. Please try it and share your comments.

Step 1. Search “Services” by using the Windows search functionality and look for the following services:

IP Helper
Xbox Live Auth Manager
Xbox Live Game Save
Xbox Live Networking Service
Gaming Services

Step 2. For each service: Right-click on the service > Properties.
In Startup Type, set the service to Automatic.

If the service isn’t started, click Start > Apply > OK to save changes, restart your PC and try again.

Note: In case GamingServices can't be modified, skip that one, the same applies if you see 2 GamingServices.

Furthermore, in case that didn't work, I would like to ask what other potential solutions you have tried before creating this post.
Please describe each one.

Regards,

Arturo.
