I can't start minecraft launcher or the xbox app

Hello, OggeDogge L. I'm sorry to hear that methods A. and D. didn't work. May I know if the other ones didn't work as well?

Besides that, I just want to confirm, did you open PowerShell as administrator and run the gaming services repair tool as administrator, right?

A.
When I tried to use the tool, this came up:





Even when restarting it kept on popping up.

When running step d, this came up:

Good morning, OggeDogge L. I'm Arturo, a community user like you, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

Based on the information you provided, I can suggest the following potential solutions.
(Skip the ones you already tried)

A. Run the Gaming Services repair tool and verify if the affected apps work after that.

https://support.xbox.com/help/games-apps/troubleshooting/gaming-services-repair-tool > Please expand the field that says “Downloadable version” and follow the steps.

B. 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

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.

C. Perform a clean boot in your PC, once restarted, try again.
You can follow the steps for the clean boot process, by clicking here:

D. Right-click on the Windows button and select PowerShell (run as an administrator).
Then, run the following command: (You may want to copy and paste the entire command)

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_. InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}.

This command can take a while to end, but when the process ends, you should be able to type in the PowerShell window.
After that, please restart your computer and try again.

E. Create a new local user on your PC. Then verify if the apps work there.

Please try accessing the game by following the steps below:

Open the Xbox app or the Microsoft store on your PC, then search and download the Minecraft launcher.

Now, open the Minecraft launcher, and you should be able to start the free trial for Minecraft Windows edition.

Lastly, please make sure you’re logged in to the desired Microsoft account on the Xbox app, the Minecraft launcher and the Microsoft Store.
