    How to use previously installed game data in XBOX app after Windows reinstall


    Hi, because of an issue in Windows, I was forced to reinstall my system. Now, I§m trying to make my XBOX games work again via the app. I have all my apps installed on D: drive (other than system drive) so I should be able to use the data again. How can I
    do this? When I run the app and click Install, it downloads everything from scratch and doesn't use already existing data.

    Thanks

    :)

    ORI and the will of the wisps save game gone??

    I got it to work after turning off game bar and quitting the xbox beta app, and then uninstalling and reinstalling gaming services using powershell admin. Then restart the computer and launch the game. then i went to the options menu first then a syncing
    data screen should show up and then the save is back.

    Here is how to uninstall and reinstall using powershell:

    • Launch powershell as an administrator and enter “get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers”
    • In the same powershell window, enter “start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN”
    • Install the app on that page, including accepting the UAC prompt when shown.

    Modern Warfare not working on Series X

    I just happen to have the same issue previously where all my DLCs are installed as well but then data packs then installed after performing the steps.

    As another option, you can then try to uninstall and reinstall the game.

    It's a problem with app data. Probably some files are corrupt and does not make the Xbox app work properly. Try

    uninstalling

    Dead By Daylight Windows

    Thanks for the extra info, let's try this:

    A.
    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:
    "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

    B. Do a clean boot in your PC and check if the issue persist or not

    C. Can be a bit odd but please reinstall the Microsoft store and all it's components (use both methods provided by Lester)
    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...

    After that go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.
    After that, click repair and then reset

    Then do the same for the Xbox app and dead by daylight

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

    After that, click repair and then reset.
    Restart the PC and try again
