Issue installing XBox for Windows app

Hello TDOG453,

Thank you for keeping us updated. Are you attempting to install the game from the Xbox (beta) App, Xbox Console Companion App or the Windows Store App? We have seen some cases where installing the game from the Windows Store App will resolve the issue.
Go ahead and cancel the installation and begin installing it from the Windows Store App. You can try initiating the installation from the other two applications as well if the Windows Store App does not work.

We noticed that you mentioned trying out several different solutions. We have a support article on our website for

troubleshooting game installations on Windows 10. Did any of these solutions help resolve the issue? Be sure to let us know the results!

The above issue occurred on a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro.

I was able to "fix" the issue by unenrolling from Xbox Insider Hub's Windows Gaming. I then uninstalled the Xbox app. I restarted my machine. I then re-enrolled back in the Windows Gaming Preview. I reinstalled the Xbox App. I still had the same error, so I unchecked the option to "Ask me for install options on every install." Game Pass Games now install as normal rather than the advanced options under C:\Xbox Games.

Identifying the issue was seeing the option "This game supports advanced management features." on the 7 games that were already installed.

Advanced Installation and Management Features available for Insiders through the Xbox App for Windows - Xbox Wire

In conclusion,

I believe this is some sort of Xbox Insider Hub Preview issue with the Xbox App because the 7 games were installed without the option of C:\Xbox Games that I had prior to reloading Windows 11.

Hi Drew,

Yep, conducted a repair install ...issue remains!

Tried installing from the MS Store (install using Xbox) and tried installing direct from the xbox app. ...issue remains.

Yep, reported issue on Windows feedback Hub.

Hi there!

Have you tried to install the app directly from the Microsoft Store? If not yet, please try it.

Make sure as well to check for your Windows updates and also get all available updates from the Microsoft Store.

Check for Windows updates - https://support.microsoft.com/windows/update-wi...

Get updates from Microsoft Store - https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/g...

If you have an anti-virus software installed, try to disable it temporarily.

I also suggest to run the system file checker to check for any corrupted data.

Hello there!

I recommend that you try following the troubleshooting steps provided on those links, in order to resolve your issue:

I do not think you understood my problem. You see the app is not installed yet, the problem is with the XboxInstaller used to install the Xbox App. The links you sent did not solve my issue. I cannot install the Xbox App because the Installer won't work.
