Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

Please try to carry out the solutions below.

Solution 1: Open RegEdit as an administrator and delete the following Services:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServices]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServicesNet]

PC reboot

Install gaming service like you would normally

Solution 2: Go to your computer settings>Applications>Applications and features find the Gaming Services program, left-click on it and then click on advanced options and then tap the repair option in the window that opens.

After that try starting your games.

Got it, try the solution below, please.

Launch PowerShell as an administrator and enter “get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers”

In the same powershell window, enter "start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN"
