I cannot launch Sea of Thieves

Hi there GuidmonLIVE, thanks for reaching out.

We're afraid you cannot play Sea of Thieves through the Insider Program as the game has launched. Sea of Thieves is

available for purchase or you can play it for free with an active
Xbox Game Pass subscription.

I do understand Chloe. :/

I know how frustrating this is.

I'm so sorry for the troubles, Chloe, really do. :/

Please, if you could, try this optional update, and then restar your PC, and try again.

Also, the restore using the ISO image Tool, will not uninstall any games or remove your files. There's an option there to keep them.

I've done all of this save for restoring my OS via the ISO image tool, which I refuse to do. I'm not going to do that to play one video game, especially when every other game on that app launches and works fine.

I went through every single step here and did it exactly as you said. Nothing has helped. When I click to play Sea of Thieves it says the app cannot open. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

I will say that when I go to updates & security there is an option to do a feature update to windows. Version 21H1. Which seems like an optional update. Because otherwise it says I'm up to date. Do I need to do this update? Under optional updates I have 3. Version 21H1, and Advanced Micro Devices 5.17.0.0, and a Razer Inc. update.

Again, I refuse to use ISO image tool to fix this issue. If there is no other way I'm going to uninstall the game and purchase it on another app. I probably will never use the Xbox app again. This isn't the first time I've had an issue. It's like the 800th time. This app is a piece of **** and YOU ALL KNOW IT. The ironic thing is you would think Microsoft would be able to make a good gaming app on their own operating system.

What a joke.

It's not your fault this is happening. I'm just never going to use the Xbox app. It's so horrible.
