(PC) Xbox app instantly cancels my game installation with no error.

I purchased game pass ultimate for PC, and the Xbox Beta app gives me the option to pre-load Gears 5 in preparation for the early release tomorrow.

Unfortunately, the game is stuck at 0% (Preparing) and never advances. I have cancelled and restarted the download, but it wont install at all after that. I click install, it asks for the desired install drive, and I click okay. Then the button goes from
"Preparing" back to "Install" instantly.

I'm very excited about this game but pretty irritated that Xbox Owners can pre-load, but the PC owners cannot. Please help.

I did just fine did you try to update the app

Actually, I did not update the app. I found that deleting the game from my queue on the app store removed the bug.

I am able to download and install the game now. Also, "I did just fine" does not help. Thanks though.

It's not on xbox console, i played it on my windows pc after installation of xbox app and having a xbox game pass, there on playing the game this error happens.

Hi Georges C, thanks for your quick response! It's much appreciated, I've been through the list but it hasn't made a difference. I've also run SFC /scannow as suggested in another post. It doesn't feel like it's my hardware as it's limited to the 8 games in the XBox app and I have ~8 other games in other launchers installed that work.

While I was trying your suggestions I've booted another PC up and could launch a couple of games through my account in the XBox app all ok so it must be down to something on this PC.

When I launch games with a splash window, like Monkey Island or Persona I can see it goes Signing In -> Checking For Updates -> MS window with (Error code: (0x80004005).

When I try to install as soon as I hit the button it just instantly reports an error, it doesn't let me pick my install location or anything. I have to go into my download window and it shows a very generic something went wrong error.

G'day Bangem! That's a bit of a strange issue. What happens when you try to cancel the installation? When you highlight the game in My Games and Apps and press the Menu button, there should be options to Pause or Cancel the download/install. Are you hit
with an error? Do those options not appear?
