Is there a way to stop my Series X from installing the Xbox avatar apps??

Have you put the app on the S to see if that is enrolled. If none are showing on your profile on the X, means you aren't in the Insider Preview and you will not get any insider updates. Are you 100% sure that avatar beta is installed on the S? My gamerpic
on here is from the avatar beta, not the best way to view my avatar

Hi,

Thank you for affirming, it's not just me.

Same deal. I upgraded from the original Xbox One to a Series X. I could manage games from both the Xbox app and Game Pass app to my original Xbox One. I put my Series X into service on 1/28/21. Apparently ,from what I have seen there must have been app updates to the Game Pass app.

Now as you said, I cannot manage or install Game Pass apps remotely from the Game Pass app to the Series X. However, it looks like the Xbox App can manage the Series X.

I also factory reset the original Xbox One and packed it up. I also removed my original Xbox One from the Devices tab on my account.microsoft.com page and made sure my Series X was set as my home xbox.

Pretty confident that this is not me nor you.

Figured I would mention I have the same issue and hope they fix it soon.

For what it is worth, you can filter games in the Xbox app on your phone to show Game Pass games along with optimized for SeriesX|S and platform as Xbox One. Then you can at least see the Game Pass games in the Xbox app and remote install them that way as a work around.

Hi Salam,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I understand that you have questions regarding your Avatar and why it's not showing on your Xbox series X.

Starting on January 9, 2025, players will no longer be able to access their Xbox Avatars or any purchased avatar items. This means avatars will not be visible on your profile page on Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One consoles. This is because Xbox Avatar Editor app is no longer be available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows devices.

However, this change will not affect Xbox Original Avatars and how they appear on Xbox 360 consoles or Xbox 360 games that feature Xbox Original Avatars.

I can't help with anything to resolve it.

I will say that, when I bought FH2 on disc back in 2020, I encountered the exact same issue with my Xbox One X...it would install from disc for anywhere from 5-30 minutes and then installation stopped. Didn't have the issue with my FH1 disc nor any other discs and FH2 installed without issue when I installed it onto my Series X.

It ended up being an excruciating process of needing to go to games and apps and click to continue the install process each time....it took me the best part of a week in the end to install it and that was with it installing between 6 and 10 hours a day.

The Xbox Series X avatar editor is the same as the Xbox One, so the Xbox One instructions should work for the Series X|S.
