I wanted to download the Xbox app on Microsoft Store, but is it safe as I had downloaded other app from MS Store and it gave me viruses. Is installing Xbox from Microsoft Store safe?

Yes, it's safe. I've never had any problems downloading top apps, games, and the Xbox app from the Microsoft Store.

Yes, it's safe. All games included in the Xbox app and Microsoft Store in general are safe to install in your device (this applies to .exe installers from reputable sites)

Hope it helps, don't hesitate to ask further questions if necessary

I've reinstalled it. I uninstalled did disk cleanups, ran ccleaner and a safe boot and then installed it again.

For now I can just install everything from the Windows Store instead of the Xbox(beta) app right?

I don't understand how you're trying to install Microsoft store from the Microsoft store. If you already have the Microsoft store, then you should be able to install games on your PC. Or do you mean the Xbox App?

Hi

The Xbox platform isn't like a PC or mobile phone App Store. All apps have to be approved by Microsoft. It is impossible for them to contain code that is dangerous to the system or steal your personal information. Also, Apps can not install themselves on
their own.

You don't need to worry, your console is safe from harm.
