[PC] Xbox Gaming Services will not run

I managed to complete this exactly 1 time in the last hour. It either sits on Pending while trying to download forever or it doesn't do anything.

I managed to get it to download fully, but trying to launch the game caused it to just reopen the store on the Gaming services page anyway. Tried restarting my PC and launching again and it didn't work.

Currently trying to re-download it again, its sitting at "Downloading Gaming Service"

Well. Once again the downloads have failed. If I remove and download Gaming Service on its own, it can complete, but then trying to actually download the game itself fails. It won't even let me get past clicking install. Removing Gaming Service and then
downloading the game at least starts to download both of them. Albeit at such a slow rate its a miracle it gets anywhere. Then inevitably they both fail due to some cloud service error. Usually takes about 30mins to an hour for them to fail.

I even tried to do a system restore to September 5th. Failed as well. Says that maybe my antivirus is blocking it from working. Disabled Avast and Male-ware bytes. Still failed. Same error.

I just do not understand how this can be so hard. How something that is so integral to Windows 10 just fails. Each. And. Every. Time.

Its frankly ridiculous the amount of time I have spent trying to fix this. I'll give it a few more days before I say
[Mod removed- inappropriate] it and get my refund.

Diego I appreciate the help you've given and any more help you give.

Already ahead of you there. Got the windows store installed and currently been trying to download the game once again





Been this way for about 30mins. Don't know why the download speed is so slow. Its either super slow download speed or it tells me something went wrong.

Hi Warri0r man,

That's odd as those commands have worked for others. The last command is what is supposed install the Store and other built in apps that could have been uninstalled.

Open up a PowerShell command prompt again as an administrator and type or paste the following command:

Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

As soon as you execute the command PowerShell will initiate the process and reinstalls Windows store app within a couple of minutes. From there you can re-install the Xbox app through the Store app.

So. I did what you asked. Ran powershell as an admin. Typed those 2 commands into it. Reset my PC. And then typed that other command.

Seems to have done stuff. A lot of errors popped up. And now the Microsoft store and xbox app no longer exist on my PC. Nor can I find a way to download the Microsoft store. Please see below for the lovely list of errors.

Edit: I love this part.

Edit2: Managed to reinstall the windows store using powershell. Right back to square 1.
