I am having the hardest time installing games on my computer.

Pale Mare7 · Jan 8, 2023

My xbox app throws a code every time I try and install a game (Ox87e00196). I have XBOX game pass ultimate on one account. I try to use this account to install a game. There is an issue on my computer where it CONSTANTLY tells me that I am using the wrong account. No matter how many time I tell xbox app that I want to use my main xbox liveaccount, it tells me that I am signed in to the wrong account and that I should switch back to the other one. I mention this because I am certain that this is the issue -- that my xbox account has a different sign in than my microsoft store. Since I cannot permanent change it back, I am not sure what to do here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Trust me you can recon in this game, the levels are not as big as past installments but I have been killed plenty-o-times by them. I am the opposite of you, where in shooter games I try my hardest to never use them.

I beat a few games on their hardest difficulty in my time, but have now come to the realization, I enjoy games on the easiest setting. Yeah, I may not get the achievement/trophy but it is not worth the trouble, games are not fun to me when I am dieing every
10 seconds.

the only time video game is not relaxing for me is when running through a game on the hardest difficulties,but i am sure most people can relate.

Hello brother, I have tried all the solutions provided, I also installed a new Windows, and I am still facing the same problem Sometimes it logs me in when I delete and install game services again and restart my computer several times but also when I log in I can't install games and if I close the app and restart it it takes me back to login
