total warhammer directed to xbox gaming services while trying to launch

Hello dear Gamer, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is Vinicius.

I am a gamer and independent advisor on the XBOX community platform.

Hey PaddyB2 how are you today? Hope you're well.

PaddyB2, there are a few things we could try in this case:

So, let's try this, first, make sure your windows and all its services are up to date:

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.

______________________________________________________________

Then 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:

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

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

______________________________________________________________

Then, try to uninstall and install the Xbox app.

______________________________________________________________

If it still doesn't work you're going to uninstall the games services using a powershell command.

In the windows search bar type Powershell > Right click and select open as administrator > Type the command: "get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-Appxpackage –allusers" > Wait for the process to finish and then restart the PC, then open your Xbox gamepass app, it will ask you to install the gaming services again, install it and try again.

Then, after you do it, you're going to open the game pass app, it will ask you to download and install the game services again

______________________________________________________________

If neither of those procedures works, try to restore your PC's OS via the ISO image tool, using that tool you will be able to maintain your installed games and files.

If you're using Windows 10:

If you're using Windows 11:

First, you will download it > Open the ISO Image tool > Open a file inside it called SETUP.exe > Select upgrade > download from the cloud > Keep games and apps.

Hi Jacob!

Are you on Windows 10 or Windows 11? Does the issue only occur to that game? How about your other Xbox games?

I suggest as well that you try the suggested steps from the thread below as it relates to the same game.

Yes. Now it runs pretty fast. Maybe some background downloading or antipiracy feature, cause that issue on the first start. I've noticed that some more guys have the same issue. But also waiting 15-20 minutes solves the problem.

Awesome! The game is running?

Thx. I've tried first 3 points. But finally just waiting 15-20 minutes on first screen (copyright disclaimer) without alt+tab solve the issue. Game finally run. All next starts are now taking few second.
