    "Starting Download" doesn't actually start downloading


    Basically, I bought Disgaea 4 in a web browser a couple of days ago, and I tried to download it through the Xbox app. Nothing I've tried worked. I mainly tried terminating the Microsoft Store processes, repairing / resetting the Store in settings, shutdowns, restarts, and even running the "wsreset" command. I've also done that to the Xbox app as well, so I am at an impasse. I cannot cancel any of these downloads, but I can download other games / apps flawlessly. I did need to reinstall Gaming Services, but it already downloaded, so I don't know how much I screwed this up. Please help!

    "Starting Download" doesn't actually start downloading

    Hello, I went and checked for the Windows update, and even though it automatically checked at 5:30, but at 6 there was an update and restarted my device. Both Disgaea and Gaming Services are no longer in the download queue in the Microsoft Store, but weirdly, Disgaea is still trying to download in the Xbox app. Also the Manage option was not available when I went to the More Options area in the Xbox app.

    Hey there!

    Nice to meet you! I'm Darhyl, a fellow gamer. I'm sorry you are experiencing this. I am here to help.

    In order to fix this, you will need to perform some basic troubleshooting steps. Kindly make sure to update your Windows, Device Drivers, and your game and gaming services, here's how:

    For Windows:

    Press the Start button on the taskbar, type settings, and then select Settings.

    On Windows 10, select Update & Security. On Windows 11, select Windows Update.

    On the Windows Update page, select Check for Updates to see if any updates are available for your device.

    Once the updates have been downloaded, select Install Now to start the installation.

    Following installation, we recommend that you restart your device so that the latest updates can take effect.

    For Device Drivers:

    For the best game performance, make sure your system’s video card drivers (or display adapter drivers) are up to date. Drivers are available on the support website for your computer manufacturer, or if your computer system is custom built, on the video card manufacturer’s support website. Updating video card drivers can resolve game crashes, improve frame rates, and improve overall game performance.

    For the game Disgaea 4:

    Open the Xbox app for Windows.

    In My Library, select the game title.

    Select the More options (…) button and choose Manage.

    Select Files and then Check for updates.

    For Gaming services:

    Press the Start button on the taskbar, type store, and open the Microsoft Store app.

    Select Library.

    Under Updates & Downloads, check if there are any updates available for the Xbox app or Gaming Services app. If an update is available, select Update.

    Reference link: https://support.xbox.com/en-us/help/games-apps/...

    Once it's done, try to check if the download works.

    Please take your time and let me know if it works.

    Thank you so much for the response.

    It seems the download file for Disgaea has been corrupted.

    I have recently resolved an issue like this. After we have exhausted all the troubleshooting steps, the gamer decided to reformat the C: Drive where the Windows was installed and then downloaded the Xbox app, the automatic download of his game stopped and it works perfectly.

    Before you proceed with the reformat kindly make sure that you backup the files.

    can I download dlc to a usb drive on my pc then put it on my xbox and if so how???

    It's not possible. The website will only let you queue up the download to start the next time you turn on the console. It doesn't have the actual download.

    Purchasing and downloading to PC?

    No. It's not possible. You can only queue up the download from the website to start downloading when you start the console, but the actual download is not available.
