    Hi,
    I just built my brand new PC about a week ago and I'm trying out the game pass service on windows 11.
    My computer is a desktop with a Ryzen 5 7600X with a geforce 1060 6gb graphics card. I have the latest drivers and BIOS installed.
    When I try to install a game, I get "Something unexpected happened" 0x80040154 error and the game does not even download. I am able to download ea games via ea play, but games via the xbox application refuse to install.
    I tried out the steps in the troubleshooting guide and at the last step where I have to uninstall and reinstall gaming services, when I try to do this I get the following error.

    At the end after some googling I checked to see if the service is running(in services.msc) and I find that there are 2 gaming services running, one as Local service and one as Local system, I do see that they are both running though.

    I would appreciate some help here, the only thing I can think of is a reinstall of windows. I hope I have not missed out any trivial step here. Thanks!

    :)

    Unfortunately I was not able to find a solution to this problem, I reset my windows install and got it working again. I think it is odd that a brand new installation of windows somehow did not work and needed a reset after only 2 weeks. Luckily the reset process is easy. But I had to reinstall all my apps and some of my drivers.
