March 17th, 2023 - No longer able to download/install/use previously downloaded games from...

I am completely unable to download or install any games through the Xbox PC application. The download button on the game's page in the app shows a frowning face instead of the actual button. Additionally, games that are already downloaded to my computer are unable to launch. I receive the following error message: Something went wrong launching your game. Error code: (0x80004005).

This issue started abruptly. I was able to play my previously installed games last night (3/16). Without any (user-initiated) change, update, PC power off, etc, I tried to boot a game on 3/17, I was no longer able to do so. It is unclear whether or not I would have been able to download/install a game from the Xbox app on 3/16, as I did not attempt to do so at that time. I only discovered I couldn't download/install games after attempting to do an uninstall and reinstall for the game that was having issues launching.

Troubleshooting steps tried so far:

1. Restart PC

2. Sign out of the Xbox App and sign back in

3. Uninstall and reinstall a game. Note, I tried uninstalling a game, hoping to reinstall it and give it another try. This is when I realized that I am unable to install any games.

4. Windows settings -> Update and Security ->Troubleshoot -> Additional troubleshooters -> Windows Store Apps troubleshooter. allowed the troubleshooter to make all changes it identified as needing

5. Apps -> Apps and Features -> Xbox App -> Advanced Settings -> tried Repair option and Reset option. Restarted PC before trying again

5. Apps -> Apps and Features -> Gaming Services -> Advanced Settings -> tried Repair option and Reset option. Restarted PC before trying again

6. Uninstall/Reinstall Xbox App
