    Issue downloading game from Xbox PC gamepass despite good connection.


    Trying to download a game from gamepass onto my PC via the xbox app. received error code 0x800704c6.

    this claims to be a network issue despite my connection being fine. 80mb/s download 20mb/s upload

    failed solutions thus far include:

    Resetting router

    Disabling windows security

    reseting xbox app

    downloading direct from microsoft store

    reseting microsoft store

    resetting network via the Netsh winsock reset command

    use of WSReset

    rebooting computer.

    not to mention there are no Microsoft or Xbox service outages at the moment. suffice to say im very confused at the lack of resolution as have done most things people have said to do to fix this issue

    :)

    Issue downloading game from Xbox PC gamepass despite good connection.

    Hi, I am Mariano, an independent advisor from the Microsoft-Xbox community. I am sorry you are going through this issue, let us try to fix it :)

    Since some alternatives didn't work, try these:

    1. Reinstall the Xbox app

    2. Make sure the Xbox services are running on your system:

    Press Windows + R, type services.msc, and press Enter.

    Ensure the following services are Running and their Startup Type is set to Automatic:

    -Gaming Services

    -Xbox Live Auth Manager

    -Xbox Live Game Save

    -Xbox Live Networking Service

    3. Try with a new local Windows account:

    Sometimes, the user profile has broken permissions. Creating a new local account and trying the download from there can help rule out that issue.

    4. I recommend testing with a different network (for example, sharing mobile data) to see if the problem is network-related.

    If the issue continues, just let me know. Otherwise, feel free to close this question. Thanks and have a nice day.

    I paid for Xbox game pass for the pc but didn't get it.

    download the xbox app and sign in with your account that has gamepass pc, then download the games from gamepass pc.

    Previously working Xbox game pass for PC game boots to the Microsoft store instead of loading?

    If games from the gamepass act weird and buggy, you can download from the MS on PC instead. Gamepass is still in beta, and will act weird at times. It would be good if you reported any issues too, which can be done by the feedback link in your profile
    picture in the app.

    Xbox GamePass App not working and games self-deleting

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    good afternoon

    I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues with the Xbox GamePass app on your PC. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

    Check your internet connection: Ensure that you have a stable and reliable internet connection. Unstable internet connections can cause issues with the Xbox GamePass app, including difficulties with downloading and deleting games.

    Clear the cache: Clear the cache of the Xbox GamePass app by going to "Settings > Apps > Apps and Features > Xbox GamePass app > Advanced Options > Reset." This will clear any stored data, and hopefully resolve any issues related to the app.

    Check for updates: Make sure that your Xbox GamePass app is up to date. Check for any available updates by going to the Microsoft Store, clicking on the three dots in the upper-right corner, and then clicking on "Downloads and Updates."

    Reinstall the app: If the issue persists, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Xbox GamePass app. Go to "Settings > Apps > Apps and Features > Xbox GamePass app > Uninstall." After uninstalling, reinstall the app from the Microsoft Store.

    Disable any VPN or proxy: If you're using a VPN or proxy, try disabling it and see if the issue resolves. Sometimes, VPN or proxy settings can interfere with the app's connectivity.

    I bought gold and gamepass, it took money but i did not get either.

    There has been a known glitch that the store on your console will not think you have xbox gold or gamepass, but besides contacting support about this issue you should be to use your gold and gamepass with no issues. Try downloading the games you want from
    gamepass via your gamepass tab on your console and play games online and see if it successful works (confirming you do have xbox live gold).

    Good luck!
