    Pc Xbox App and Microsoft Store won't launch games


    I have tried everything from repairing to resetting the apps, to uninstalling and reinstalling the apps and games and still the games won't launch, specifically Microsoft owned games, like Fallout 3 GOTY, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Halo Infinite, but other games that use a secondary launcher like for instance Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition which was downloaded trough the Xbox app launch and work fine, I have checked and the games are downloading to the proper folder and everything, so I am officially stumped. Someone please help, I literally can't play any Microsoft based game that uses the Xbox app to launch, which is a lot of games honestly. I tried opening them through the Microsoft Store, same thing, nothing happens at all, no attempt to start up, nothing.

    :)

    Pc Xbox App and Microsoft Store won't launch games

    I have tried all these steps and the Xbox app and Microsoft store still won't let me launch any game that uses it to launch, the troubeshooter said it detected an issue like it did before, I went to check for windows update, said it needed a restart so I did, still won't work at all. Did everything listed above and more and the Xbox app and Microsoft store still refuse to launch any game that uses them to launch, even something simple as hell that is almost as old than I am, Wolfenstein 3D won't even launch or run, and I mean no loading wheel, nothing, you click launch and it still does nothing. Oh let me add to that, that even though I restarted the pc, the troubleshooter still says there is an issue and it "was fixed" even though no matter what, it was not fixed and its not a windows update issue as I checked and it said it was fine. Nothing fixes it, there is no update, there is no discernable issue, it doesn't even bother to tell me what the issue is, when I check for updates it says it is fine.

    Hi MoO Caboose,

    Thank you for your update.

    You may try to launch those game as an administrator by right click the game. If that doesn't work try to run the game in compatibility mode. To do this follow the steps below:

    - Right click the game
    - Go to Properties
    - Click the check box Run this program in compatibility mode
    - Select Windows version

    I hope that will help you. We look forward for your response.
