  1. Microsoft Store/Xbox App completely broken


    When I tried to open the Xbox app it was stuck on the loading screen with the Xbox icon. I tried a repair/reset which didn't fix the issue, so I uninstalled the app. Now I can't install Xbox (or any other apps) from the Microsoft store: there is a flashing empty button (looks like it's loading) where the install button should be. All my previously installed game pass games are broken: I can still see the .exe files but they won't launch even directly. My main concern is the games themselves but it does look like the Xbox app and Microsoft Store overall are broken for me.

    Gaming Services also seems to be having a lot of issues. It was trying to update in the Store but couldn't because it said it was running. I ended it from Task Manager and that seemed to fix it. Whenever I try to open an already installed game from the Microsoft Store (it sees that they're installed) it doesn't open and redirects me to the Gaming Services page.

    I've tried:

    - Restarting PC

    - Resinstalling Microsoft Store from the command line (then restarting)

    - Reinstalling all default apps from the command line (gave me some errors for some things that were in use, not sure it fully worked but it seemed to successfully reinstall most things)

    - Troubleshooter (didn't detect any problems)

    - Standalone Xbox App Installer (stopped about 1/4 of the way through the installation and closed without warning)

    - Updating to the latest Windows 10 version

    - Signing out of the Microsoft Store then back in (crashed when I signed out, no change after)

    I really don't want to do a full system reset; is there anything else I should try?

    Update: after another restart games are launching if opened directly but all the other issues mentioned are still the same.

    :)

    I FIXED IT YALL! I had the exact problem and used this article to fix it.

    https://www.makeuseof.com/microsoft-store-missing-install-button/

    "6. Restart the Microsoft Store Service:

    Press Win + R to bring up a Run dialog.
    Type services.msc and press Enter.
    Find and open Microsoft Store Install Services.
    If the service is already running, click Stop > Start to restart it.
    Restart your computer and check if the Install button is now available"

    This fixed my store and xbox apps.

    I just reinstalled windows 11 and the problem persists. However, I created a new account on my machine and tried starting xbox there and it works fine. This is a Microsoft account problem of some kind.

    Hello AnthonyTok,

    It seems like we have exhausted already most of the troubleshooting steps for this issue.

    Let us try this for the last options.

    Solution 1: https://support.xbox.com/help/Hardware-Network/connect-network/format-flash-drive-to-ntfs-windows



    Solution 2: Reset Windows 10/11 store & Xbox app

    1. Open Settings.

    2. Go to Apps -> Apps & features.

    3. Look for Microsoft Store/Xbox App and click it on the right side.

    4. The advanced options link will appear. Click it

    5. Next, click on the Reset button to reset Microsoft Store/Xbox App to the default setting.



    Solution 3: Try reinstalling the Gaming Services package on your Windows 10 device:

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

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

    Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers

    3. Wait for the process to finish and then restart the PC and try again.



    Solution 4: Play games offline on Windows 10 using Offline mode; this error could also be attributed to issues with the Microsoft store not recognizing your entitlement to the game.

Then scroll down and click on the drop-down arrow and look at the steps for How to enable offline play on your device.
