  1. Issue installing XBox for Windows app


    I am trying to install the Xbox for Windows app. I get the .exe file downloaded, but when I try to install, it gets about 25% done and then bombs out. I had it installed previously but it stopped working.

    :)

    Can't install Halo Wars 2

    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!

    Xbox asks me to "Change your install options in Profile" even though I have a lot of space

    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.

    Issue installing XBox for Windows app

    Thanks for the suggestions. I have completed them all. When I try to get the Xbox App from the store, it is grayed out. I was able to get the xboxinstaller.exe file to download from a browser, but it stalls out about 10%-20% of the way through and just closes.

    I got on the phone with support. Ultimately, ran troubleshooter in Windows Store Apps and that allowed me to download and install from Microsoft Store.
