    And my Xboxwon't let me launch games that I HAVE downloaded.

    Everytime I contact support they tell me to just redownload windows.. After 3 tries i'm done not being believed IT DOESN'T WORK. I've spent no joke 30+ hours this MONTH alone fixing the xbox app just for it to rebreak. I'll NEVER buy gamepass again because it simply doesn't function more than half the time and your support hotline is always DOWN. So i'm stuck googling 50 million things and running 25 things in command prompt and uninstalling this and repairing that app and NONE OF IT WORKS and it's all because we insist on not giving people true ownership to their games. Every other launcher it was a simple as hitting install, it scanned my drive for the game, found it and wow it was playable. Xbox just gives an absolutely useless error code that actually doesn't help remotely. I can't run windows updates, I can't update my existing apps, I can't download the games I own nothing. Only on the Xbox/microsoft side of things. Steam, battlenet, origin all worked SEEMLESSLY. Yet xbox won't even let me just delete my existing games to reinstall them LET ALONE actually run the download. The error code I get when installing games via the xbox app is 0x0800704c6 in the microsoft store I don't get any errors it just sits at 0% for 10 minutes than says pending same with windows updates. I've got 3 drives, A 256 gb nvme SSD to use as solely a boot drive, a 1 GB SSD to be used for important games/apps, and a 3 TB hard drive to be used for less important games and videos/clips. The games are stuck on the 1 GB SSD and the 3 TB hard drive. All of halo for example is VISIBLE but I can't move it or delete it because I don't have the privilege to move my own games around as I please on my PC in my drive. I am at a loss. At this point i'm ready to write off my year of game pass I bought and just never touch another xbox product in my life.

    I contacted support to fix a problem,they had me do their version of the reinstall windows and when my PC loaded up my MSstore stopped letting me download updates.

    Hi CTxVoltage,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Xbox forums! I am sorry to hear that you have been struggling to get the Xbox app to work as intended on your P.C. I will do my best to provide some recommended solutions to try and resolve this problem. Some of my suggestions may sound redundant, and you can skip to the next one you have not attempted. When you mention that our support team had you perform their version of reinstalling Windows? Did they have you complete a Refresh Your P.C. to reinstall Windows and keep your personal files and settings? Refresh keeps the apps that came with your P.C. and the apps you installed from the Microsoft Store. Sometimes, that does not resolve the issue if there are additional issues with the operating system. I will provide a list of recommended solutions that you can try and then another list of a final solution that would work and additional steps to ensure that your Xbox App continues to work and is not a short-term fix. As for the error code 0x0800704c6, what I am getting back on my end is a network issue, meaning that something might be blocking the connection to the Xbox App. As you mentioned, Steam and other launchers work; I am not saying that you do not have internet access. But there are instances where firewalls, third-party Antivirus, or P.C. optimizers can block the Xbox gaming services.

    Recommended Solutions

    Solution 1: Reinstall the Gaming Services app on your Windows 10/11 device:

    1. Select the Search icon on the taskbar, type PowerShell, right-click on Windows PowerShell, and select Run as administrator.
    2. In Windows PowerShell, type the following command and press Enter:
    3. get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers
    4. In the same window, type the following command and press Enter:
    5. start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN
    6. Install the app on that page and select Yes when receiving the User Account Control (UAC) prompt.
    7. Restart your device and try to install the game again.
    Solution 2: Play games offline on Windows 10 using Offline mode; this error could also be attributed to issues with the Microsoft store not recognizing your entitlement to the game. Would you please click on this link Play games offline on Windows 10 using Offline mode | Xbox Support. Then scroll down and click on the drop-down arrow and look at the steps for How to enable offline play on your device.

    Solution 3: Disabling these antivirus packages can improve your gaming experience.

    • Avast
    • Avira
    • Bit defense firewall
    • Comodo Antivirus
    • Emisoft Anti-Malware
    • Solphors
    • Maximum Micro Trend Security
    Solution 4: Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files If some Windows functions aren't working or Windows crashes, use the System File Checker to scan Windows and restore your files. Sometimes corrupted files can cause issues.

    Solution 5: Create a local user or administrator account in Windows . Sometimes you can have a situation with permissions or profile corruption. Please follow the steps in this link to see if that fixes the current issue.

    Solution:

    How to refresh, reset, or restore your P.C. (microsoft.com) Reset your P.C. to reinstall Windows. This option is installing Windows fresh on your machine. Before performing this, I would back up your data, I.E., photos, videos, documents, files. Once you have completed this, I would also do the following solutions I will provide below.

    How to format a USB flash drive or external storage device to NTFS on Windows | Xbox Support. Make sure all your drives are formatted as NTFS in order to install games.

    Get the Xbox Insider Hub app; please sign-up for the Xbox Insider app; this will give you an updated version of the Xbox App that allows you to choose where to install and control the install folders. Once you download the App

    1. Open App and sign in.
    2. Then go to Preview
    3. Select Join Windows gaming
    4. Wait for the pending to stop, and it will confirm you are in the Preview.
    5. Then restart the PC, reinstall Flight Simulator, and choose a place on the hard drive that you would like to have the install folder.

    I hope these suggestions help! If this answers your question, please mark the thread as “Answered.”

    Cannot play or install Gears 5 Ultimate

    I had the same problem, download the latest version of windows 10 updated 10/5/2020.then reinstall xbox games pass pc ( beta)

    then delete gears 5 and then try to download again using games pass beta . It should now reinstall the upgraded version of gears 5

    do not reinstall or do a clean version of windows 10 . Its microsofts not doing enough to keep you informed.

    It tells you on the game on the bottom right you need the updated windows 10 to run the game
