PC GamePass game closes 30 seconds after opening.

All of a sudden when I go to play Fallout 76 on my PC via Xbox game pass the game starts up just as it always had except now right when its at the title screen the game seemingly crashes with no warning or error message nor report stating the issue. I've Uninstalled and reinstalled, repaired and reset, Uninstalled gaming services via powershell but no luck. I was able to download AC: Vahalla and play that with no issue. I don't know if the issue has to do with the fact that fallout 76 is a online title where as the latter isn't but its very frustrating seeing as I was playing the game without issue before.

Hi Tyler.

My name is Renato.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

I'm sorry for your issue.
I want to inform you that I don't have access to your data or account.

I don't believe it depends on the type of game but rather on a potential error on your PC.
Typically, given that you've already gone through all the steps, the last solution would be to uninstall and reinstall Windows.

Before doing this, you could simply add a new user on Windows and see if you encounter the same problem. If it works, then resetting Windows should allow you to play even on the main user account. I hope I've been clear and helpful.

My Xbox Game Pass app on my PC will download and install games just fine, but when I click play, the Xbox app closes for about 30 seconds, and then reopens like nothing happened, and the game never starts. Looking at my app history in Task Manager,
the game I am trying to play opens for less than a second before closing.

Hard restart console and try launching again.

Also having trouble launching The Texas Chainsaw Massacre on Xbox GamePass for PC. I have also tried all the steps listed above. It seems that when i reinstall the game the normal popup that appears when a game is launched for the first time that has you link the game to your gamepass account is not popping up so after a few seconds the game just fails to load and closes with no error code.

Hi

Unlike Steam or other PC download services, Windows games and apps can't be shared between two different PCs, even when logged in with the same secure Microsoft account.

Games install to an encrypted 'WindowsApps' folder, which can only be read on the original PC it was activated on.

Well, that answers that. Thank you so much.
