  1. I'm unable to launch games from the Microsoft store


    I'm unable to launch any games from the Microsoft store. When attempting to start the game, State of Decay 2, it would direct me to the Microsoft store page for gaming services instead of launching the actual game. I even tried uninstalling the game but now I have another issue. The Microsoft store won't allow me to download the game like it normally would. I tried resetting my Microsoft store page & even updated my Windows version to 21H1 to no avail.

    I've had 3 disconnected phone calls with Microsoft customer support today & no call backs so I figured I'd ask my question in this forum for better assistance. Any & all input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Able to install and start game not on Gamepass PC subscription

    I understand what you are saying, but it directly contradicts what I was told by this technician. when I told him that the game wouldn't launch, the only answer I was given was it wasn't in my subscription. I'm getting conflicting information from both the Microsoft store and the Xbox app, as well as this technician and yourself, but I am still unable to play the game.

    Halo Reach won't launch or be recognized as installed

    Where it says press enter to start, it pops up with “unable to continue, the content is currently installing.” Even though I have already downloaded halo reach. When i try and launch it from the microsoft store nothing happens, there is no response from
    clicking the launch button.
