    Permission Error when launching certain windows games


    Hi all,

    I've recently started getting the below error when i'm trying to launch certain games. Obviously No Mans Sky, but also Forza Horizon 5. All my other games play fine.

    The problem is also only on my laptop, if I log into the same account on my desktop I can play all games without any problems.

    I've reinstalled several times, to several different locations. I've reinstalled windows store, Xbox app and gaming services. I've also reregistered all apps. None of those worked. Only using Defender as AV. Any advice?

    Thanks,

    James

    error code 0x80073CF3

    Hi EdynByfield,

    Thanks for your post. I understand you are experiencing an error code 0x80073CF3 when you try to download and launch games. Make sure the game has proper permissions to launch, follow this article to enable administrative permissions:

    App Permissions - Windows 10    .

    I hope this helps.

    How do I fix error code 0x80070005 and error code 0x803F8001

    Both error codes 0x80070005 and 0x803F8001 are common issues in Windows and can occur for various reasons. Here are steps you can take to troubleshoot and fix these errors:

    Run as Administrator:
    If you're encountering this error while trying to install or run a program, right-click on the program's shortcut and choose "Run as administrator." This ensures that the program has the necessary permissions to run.

    Check Folder/File Permissions:
    If the error occurs when accessing a specific file or folder, make sure you have the necessary permissions. Right-click on the file/folder, go to "Properties," then the "Security" tab. Ensure your user account has the required permissions.

    Windows Update Troubleshooter:
    Run the built-in Windows Update troubleshooter to identify and fix any issues related to Windows updates.

    Check Antivirus/Firewall:
    Sometimes, security software can block certain operations. Temporarily disable your antivirus or firewall software and see if the issue persists.

    Do you have any third party antivirus software installed on the computer? If so try disabling it and then try the download again.

    Make sure the game has proper permissions to launch, follow this article to enable administrative permissions: App
    Permissions - Windows 10    .

    cannot download games that require administrator permission (from store and xbox pc app)

    Do you have administrator permissions on your PC?
    Some games require additional components to be installed for the game to function properly. Depending on the components being installed, you may be prompted for permission from an administrator during game installation or when the game
    is first launched.

    See
    Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10     for more information.
