Hi, sandy_860! I'm Kim, an Independent Advisor and I’m happy to help you today.

Let’s try some steps to isolate the issue. Kindly check if you have any pending updates using this link https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo... or select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update , and then select Check for updates.

If there's nothing pending, kindly right-click the Start button on your taskbar, and then select Windows Terminal (Admin). In the Administrator: Windows PowerShell screen, type the following command and press Enter:

Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage

Restart your PC then try again.

Error 0x80004005 occurs when you try to open a game or app on your Xbox console | Xbox Support

I have the same issue. I get error 0x80004005 and then "unspecified error code" only on No Man Sky's. I have it installed in the xbox app installed with gamepass for pc. I also have SOT installed the same way but that game plays fine and no error codes.

edit: I have tried the solutions about except the full reinstallation as it isnt all games just NMS.

I have seen this error code from back with Windows XP and the original Xbox. On the PC the error can come up with extracting zip files, copying files from disk to disk etc.

According tp MSFT, this code may apply to activation, but this exists in other areas as well. It may be caused by disk error, or folder permissions.
