    Something went wrong launching your game. Error code: (0x80004005)


    Tried the following:

    • Updating Windows 10 to the latest version
    • reinstalling Gaming services
    • resetting both xbox app and microsoft store softwares
    • using VPN
    • changing windows device region
    • running the games with admin from the files
    • repairing/resetting the games
    and I can't download some games from the Xbox app as it appears sad face on the install button

    but when there's install button appears on some other games, it just get's an error when downloading it

    :)

    Hi Aimi, I'm Kim, an Independent Advisor and I’m happy to help you today.

    Kindly also try resetting the gaming services. Select Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features. Find the App named "Gaming Services" then select the Advanced options link under the name of the app (some apps don't have this option). On the page that opens, select Reset.

    After that press WIN+R (Windows logo key + R) , Enter "services.msc", find "Game Services", stop the service and then start it back again.

    You can also check if you can install your games using MS store app. Open the Microsoft Store, then click on the profile picture in the top right corner. A pop-up box will appear allowing you to sign out then once signed out, kindly sign in again using the account that have your games then try installing them from there.

    Can't run any games on PC game pass. Error: "Something went wrong launching your game. Error code: 0x80004005"

    yes i migrated to windows 11 now.

    Apparently it is a known issue and looks like it is resolved. So the issue was a Xbox app update. I should not just update right away, that was my mistake and stopped me from being able to game pass until they resolved the issue with the update

    I just did the instructions you provided but it still did not work.

    I also tried installing windows 11, and now all games show a sad face and I can't play any of the game pass games.

    What can I do to resolve this issue?
