"this app needs an extra component. provides functionality for xbox live in-game...

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

The extra component is Gaming Services app.

Thanks for the response. I would sure appreciate having that information before I click "Install".

After much back and forth I was finally able to solve the problem. None of the suggestions found online worked for me, but once I tried to start a game that was downloaded right off the start-menu (not using the Xbox app at all) the game started and launched the web-interface linked to my Game-pass account. After signing in there, the game launched. After exiting the game, I tried to launch the X-box app again and noticed I was now able to click on the "install" components.

The component that was missing in my case was something called "game-tcup" or something like that. Once that was installed, the X-box app worked like normal again.

Hello LazyCord16717,

I'm Nilay and I'll be glad to answer your query today.

Please 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 (Install optional updates as well)

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

Now, sign out from your account on both Xbox app and Microsoft Store and do this:

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

After that, click repair and then reset

Then do the same for the Xbox app:

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

After that, click repair and then reset

Finally do this:

Step 1: Open the Run window by pressing Windows + R key.

Step 2: Input WSReset.exe in the Run window and click OK.

Step 3: Then a command prompt window will appear. After a few seconds, Windows Store will open.

Sign in again on both Microsoft store and Xbox app with your account and try again.

Good Luck
Regards

Hi Tim,

I found the following on Reddit

"I had the same issue for a little bit while trying to get the app to work for the Halo Reach flight. I fixed it by installing the Xbox Beta app from the Microsoft Store then installing a
missing component (If you have the same problem you should see some notifications at the top saying you are missing some extra components. You want the one called Identity Provider.) that it said was needed to sign into the app. Insider Hub also let me sign
in after that.

EDIT: If the above doesn't work try opening your search bar on windows and type "Services," open it and sort by name and scroll down until you find "Xbox Live Auth Manager" and try starting
it"

See if that helps.
