  1. Scanning for installed games after restoring/reinstalling Windows?


    Hello there! I had to restore Windows due to some error (blue screen kept appearing after start up). I had a few games installed at my HD (windows is located at another drive, SSD).

    So I wonder if there is an option (like the ones in Steam and Battle.net) to locate/scan for the games I have already downloaded, so I don't have to download it again? If not, how can I delete the old game without losing my saved campaign (my crusaders king
    campaign, for example) and my achievements?

    :)

    Trying to install xbox app in windows 11 - getting error code 0x80070003

    After an update, the microsoft gaming service was not foud, even when i installed it again (even unistalling it and reinstalling it via micorsoft store). Xbox app wouldn't even find the install location for apps. This happened after i restored the windows 11 instalation.

    windows xbox game pass games

    I understand, the game is not related to the windows key, it does not verify the authenticity key or any other, it only checks if it was installed on windows and how another installation is, and whenever you restore, or reinstall, it is another installation. you lose the files that guarantee that the game was installed on this windows and there is no way to inform that the games were installed otherwise, you need to delete everything, because there is no way to uninstall it later, and install it after the new installation of windows, unfortunately that's how it is that the app works today.

    Gaming services won't install. Can't play Gamepass games

    Disable Windows Defender Firewall: Open the Start menu, search for "Windows Security," and click on it. Select "Firewall & network protection." In the new window, click on "Private network" and "Public network" to disable the firewall for both. Then try reinstalling Gaming Services.

    Clean boot: Perform a clean boot to start Windows with minimal startup programs and services. This helps identify if any third-party software is conflicting with the installation process. Follow the steps in this Microsoft support article to perform a clean boot: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/how...

    System File Checker (SFC) scan: Open PowerShell as an administrator and run the following command:

    sfc /scannow

    The System File Checker will scan for and repair any corrupted system files that may be causing the issue. After the scan is complete, restart your computer and try reinstalling Gaming Services.

    Help! Game Pass opens Microsoft Store to install Gaming Services (even if it's installed) instead of opening Game.

    This option takes your PC back to an earlier point in time, called a system restore point. Restore points are generated when you install a new app or driver, and when you create a restore point manually. Restoring won’t affect your personal files, but it will remove apps, drivers, and updates installed after the restore point was made.

    In the search box on the taskbar, type control panel,andthen choose it from the list of results

    In the Control Panel search box, type recovery.

    Select Recovery > Open System Restore.

    In the Restore system files and setting box, select Next.

    Select the restore point that you want to use in the list of results, and then select Scan for affected programs.
    What do you want me to do with the results of the scan?

    Show them to you here as a screenshot?

    What after? Are you asking me to try to restore? I only have two restore points. One on the 31st, and one on the 19th.

    Difficulty select dialog missing - Microsoft Solitaire Collection

    And is this happening to all games? Or only with spider?

    Could you try reinstalling the game?

    If the issue still persist after reinstall action try this:
    Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;

    Click Check for Updates;

    Click the Download and Install Now option, if available;

    Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services.

    If everything’s up to date now, try this:

    Go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair and then restore, open the app and try again.

    Then do the same for the Xbox app and Solitaire collection:

    Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair and then restore, finally on open the game and try again
