    Just Bought the Game Pass - App won't recognise I have it


    Hey there,

    Just got the Game Pass for Xbox, my MS account recognises this and shows it'll expire in 2022.

    I've installed the PC app (don't have an Xbox), and its still showing me the big green button in settings that I need to get it.

    When I click on it it takes me to the game pass page which shows the 'manage' button. When I click on it, it takes me back to the MS subscriptions page in my account which shows I have it.

    Infinite loop.

    I've literally just wasted my money getting a game pass when I can't even access the basic function of installing any game. I'm struggling to get a hold of anyone at MS to help me.

    Has anyone else had this issue or know how I could get it resolved please?

    Thanks

    TJ

    :)

    Just to verify, did you purchase just regular Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate? If it's just regular Game Pass, makes sure you bought Game Pass for PC, not Game Pass for console.

    I've spoken to an Xbox gamer on live chat and the following sorted it:

    1: Clear the Windows Store Cache.
    If the Microsoft Store cache is damaged or corrupted, clearing the cache will easily fix this error. You can do this using the Run dialog or by manually deleting the cache folder.

    To use the Run utility to clear the cache, do the following:

    1. Press Windows + R to open Run.
    2. Type in wsreset.exe, then click OK.

    You should notice a blank Command Prompt window that opens for about ten seconds. Wait for the window to close by itself. The Windows Store app should open itself after the Command Prompt closes.

    Followed by a windows update. I hope this helps anyone else suffering.

    Yes that's correct - I specifically chose the PC option.

    When I go to Settings in the PC, for a split second it shows I have it then the above screenshot

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply. I tried doing just that but it's still not recognising it. Bought it from Argos and I'm sure they won't take it back. So stuck with it..
