    Microsoft Gaming Services won't install.


    After a recent Windows Update (Windows 10), my Xbox app on windows refuses to run any games, and says I need to Install them all again. When I try to install, I am prompted to download Microsoft Gaming Services, which I do, and it appears to run, but I can't go further, as this loop repeats every time I try to install a game.

    When following the troubleshooter here: https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/help/games-apps/troubleshooting/troubleshoot-games-windows-10 I am able to try to remove and reinstall Gaming Services from Powershell, which also fails, but provides a bit more information, as follows:

    PS C:\Windows\system32> get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers remove-AppxPackage : Removal failed. Please contact your software vendor. Deployment Remove operation with target volume C: on Package Microsoft.GamingServices_9.74.15001.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe from: failed with error 0x80070002.

    How to fix this? Thanks.

    :)

    Hi Mo R
    My name is Rishabh, I hope you are doing great out there. I’m happy to help you with your question.

    It sounds like you've already taken several troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue with installing Minecraft and Xbox Gaming Services on your new laptop. Since the problem persists and you've exhausted the common solutions, here are a few more advanced steps you can consider trying:

    1. System File Checker (SFC) Scan:

    Run an SFC scan to check for and repair any corrupted or missing system files that might be affecting the installation process.
    Open a Command Prompt with administrative privileges.
    Type the command: sfc /scannow and press Enter.
    Let the scan run; it will identify and fix any integrity violations.

    2. DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) Tool:

    If the SFC scan doesn't resolve the issue, you can use the DISM tool to repair the Windows image.
    Open a Command Prompt with administrative privileges.
    Type the command: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and press Enter.
    Allow the process to complete.

    3. Create a New User Account:

    Sometimes, issues can be related to user profile corruption. Create a new local user account on your laptop and try installing Minecraft and Xbox Gaming Services on that account.

    4.Check Windows Update:

    Make sure that your Windows operating system is fully updated. Some updates might be necessary for certain apps and services to function properly.

    5. Try a Different Network:

    If you're on a restricted network, some services might not work as expected. Try using a different network, such as a different Wi-Fi network or mobile hotspot, to see if the issue persists.

    6. Fresh Windows Installation (Last Resort):

    If all else fails, you might consider performing a fresh installation of Windows on your new laptop. This would completely reset your system and can help resolve complex issues. Make sure to back up important files before proceeding with this option.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Thanks and regards

    xbox app has a problem loading installation locations what could be the issue?

    I have the exact same problem. I have plenty of space but it won't let me install anything. I can download apps through the store just fine, but no games. I've installed and updated gaming services several times as that is what other forums have said to do. Microsoft needs to get rid of gaming services, there are hundred of reviews and questions on the Microsoft site so they know it is an issue.
