    No games will launch - Xbox app is unresponsive but otherwise works


    Nothing happens when I try to run games through the app. App isn't frozen just won't launch anything. When I try to launch from the Start menu the windows store opens and shows me the page for Gaming Services. Tried all the common fixes, reinstalled Gaming Services and MS store through powershell, nothing works.

    :)

    Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    First, welcome to the Xbox community and we're sorry you're having this issue. Usually, this is an issue that is related to the Gaming Services application, the issue can be resolved by fixing it, however, some users have reported that this is no longer working. Anyway, I suggest you try the solutions below, please.

    First make sure you are using the latest version of windows, to do this follow the instructions below.

    Select the Start button and then go to Settings > Update and Security > Windows Update.

    - If there are no updates to be made, please proceed with the solutions below.

    Solution 1:

    Open RegEdit as an administrator and delete the following Services:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServices]

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServicesNet]

    PC reboot

    Install gaming service like you would normally

    Solution 2:

    Go to Windows settings

    Applications

    Applications and Features

    Look for Gaming Services

    Click on it

    Advanced options

    Tap repair

    - If it doesn't work, try the alternative below.

    Download the Create Windows 10 installation media application from the link below, at the end of the download run the application, and then follow the instructions given by the program at the end click on upgrade. Rest assured none of your files will be lost, this is a system restore that will try to fix this error.

    Alarming Number of Freezes.

    Not having too much trouble over here. Occasional unresponsive button, but that may be controller-related. Otherwise, pretty smooth launch so far.

    Xbox One Eject Button!

    I've been having the same problem; unresponsive eject and power buttons but console working perfectly otherwise. Took Sir Sh0rty's advice and pulled the power for 1min, now it works perfectly. Cheers bud!
