    PC Xbox App - Games Not Launching (Except for Gang Beasts?)


    Yesterday I was running Forza Horizon 5 for a couple hours, then I went off to work. I didn't lock my PC I just left it installing Gang Beasts. When I got back ~6 hours later I ran Gang Beasts once and closed it, but then none of the games in my Xbox library would launch. I got no feedback or errors from the app. After trying a few fixes (reboot, power cycle, uninstall Gang Beasts, reinstall Xbox app, Gaming Services, Microsoft Store, clearing the store cache (wsreset)), here is an Imgur gallery of what I'm seeing: https://imgur.com/a/tEpoB2q

    Even apps I own are refusing to open, like the Minecraft launcher (I own Java and Bedrock editions).

    For now I can try to run Forza on my brother's Xbox, but I'm a little disappointed I waited while it downloaded and installed only to play it for a couple hours. Not to mention my Game Pass subscription is useless at the moment.

    :)

    PC Xbox App - Games Not Launching (Except for Gang Beasts?)

    Hey Lucas,

    Thanks so much for the suggestions. After meticulously performing each step except for reinstalling, my library still would not launch (I did get a BIOS update so it wasn't for nothing). I uninstalled my library and every game I've reinstalled, including Forza Horizon 5, has worked correctly. I'm not sure what would cause a whole library of 10+ installed games to go bad, but I'm glad it's fixed.

    Hello, Enzigma04. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    I know you tried some things, but would you please try these steps (step by step) and see if it works? It is similar to what you already tried, but it is a little more complex and address more things that can cause this to happen.

    First, see if Windows is updated:

    Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;

    Click Check for Updates;

    Click Download and Install Now option, if available (check for optional updates too);

    After that:

    - Make sure that you clear Xbox App queue and that no game is being installed right now. Also uninstall a game that is not working to test. Completely uninstall Xbox App. Use its own uninstaller (just search for Xbox on Windows Start and click on uninstall).

    - After uninstalling, go to Start > Type PowerShell > Right click it and select “Run As Administrator” > Type the following command and press Enter (you can run one at a time):

    Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

    Type A ("Yes to All")

    Then:

    Get-AppxPackage Xbox | Remove-AppxPackage

    Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxApp | Remove-AppxPackage

    Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.GamingServices | Remove-AppxPackage –allusers

    (If you receive an error when executing any of these commands, don't bother. Just follow the other steps here)

    - Press Windows + R and type in "regedit". Press enter.

    - Search for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services

    - Delete the folders "GamingServices", "GamingServices.net" and "xinputhid" (if they're still there).

    - Click on Start > Credential Manager > Windows Credentials. Search for Xbl|DeviceKey, click on it and then Remove.

    - Delete Accounts and Cache folders at:

    C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\TokenBroker

    - Also delete Microsoft Store local cache files at:

    C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe

    - Go to Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features > Microsoft Store > Advanced Options > Reset.

    - Go to Start > Settings > Gaming > Xbox Networking > Fix it.

    - Go to Start > Settings > Gaming > Game Mode > Set if OFF.

    - Go to Start > Settings > Accounts > Sign-in Options > Privacy > Uncheck "Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device and reopen my apps after an update and restart." (Very Important)

    - Press the Windows Key + R. Type WSReset.exe and press Enter.

    - Restart Windows.

    - If you're using a proxy, please stop using it for now:

    - Press Windows Key + R. Type inetcpl.cpl and press Enter. Click the Connections tab, and then click LAN settings. Uncheck the Use a proxy server for your LAN check box. Click Ok.

    - Please check if Date and Time is set correct. Uncheck "Set the time automatically", do it manually.

    - Run PowerShell as an Administrator again and run the command:

    start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

    - Install the app on that page and select Yes when you receive the User Account Control (UAC) prompt. Open Microsoft Store after the installation and login with the correct Microsoft Account.

    - Finally, install Xbox App again. Open it and login to the correct Microsoft/Xbox account. If you're on the Xbox Insiders, click on the profile image and navigate to the settings menu. Head over to the General sub-menu in the Settings menu. Uncheck the “Use advanced installation and management features” option.

    Install the game you uninstalled to test and see if it works now.

    If it still doesn't work, please let me know.

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community and Merry Christmas.

    Hello Воевода, you're referring to the Gang Beasts game, because

    "Gang Beasts is not cross-platform across PC and Xbox One. But in the next update of Gang Beasts, there will be a feature that will make it cross-platform across PC and Xbox One. This means that if you are playing on PC you can play with Xbox One players and vice versa."
