    Launching a game redirects me to Gaming Services


    Hello,

    Yesterday I could play Age4 without problems, today I can't start any Gamepass game, it always opens the MS store and leads to Gaming Services.

    I tried like everything I found on the internet. This is what didn't work so far:

    • windows update (no new update, only installed some optional ones)
    • searched for updates in MS store
    • repaired and reset: Ms store, Xbox app, gaming service, installer -dns flush
    • deleted those 2 strings (gaming services) from the registry
    • tried multiple commands in Powershell
    • wsreset
    • reinstalled all these apps
    So I don't know what I could else do, windows is up to date, gaming service is reinstalled, there's no update available in MS store.

    Anyone have an idea? Is it possible that there's a new windows 10 update which isn't pushed out everywhere? That's the only thing I also had in mind.

    When trying to install a new game it gives the error: error:0x00000001

    On my series s everything works fine.Launching a game redirects me to Gaming Services

    I think reinstalling Windows will be the best way to go

    I've got same problem, they've messed something up again trying to fix the halo problem, most probably.

    Game Pass Redirecting Me To Gaming Services

    Tried all of those and nothing worked. Something I noticed is that the Xbox App & Microsoft Store is quite buggy. I will try to open up the Xbox App sometimes and it will just leave me there on a black screen with the Xbox logo and I can't even close out of it (I have to manually go to task manager just to close out of it). I don't have any other way around this. Only last thing I can think of doing is to just reinstall Windows. I won't lose any data or have to reinstall anything from the reinstallation, but if you have any other ideas, let me know.

    Try reinstalling the Gaming Services app on your Windows 10 device:

    - Right-click the Start button in the lower-left corner of the main screen, and then select Windows PowerShell (Admin).

    - In the Administrator: Windows PowerShell screen, type the following command and press Enter:

    get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers

    - In the same window, type the following command and press Enter:

    start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

    - Install the app on that page, and select Yes when you receive the User Account Control (UAC) prompt.

    - Restart your device, and try to install the game again.

    If that doesn't help, Go below in regedit and delete both keys and reboot.
