Hi

I'm Trying to install xbox app and the installer goes quickly, but them immediatly fails with error code 0x80070003.

I already tried to check folder permissions, reinstall xbox gaming services.

i used the shift + restart, then used the advanced options.

Options used was to download all updates and format the drive C fresh losing all data (no problem due to personal data being on another drive)

Hello Fabio, may I ask how you restored windows?
Did you do it using the reset option available in settings or did you use the tutorial I shared?

Fabio André Ramos R

yes, like 10m after configuring. And i was able to download 1/2 games but then i started getting those erros.

After an update, the microsoft gaming service was not foud, even when i installed it again (even unistalling it and reinstalling it via micorsoft store). Xbox app wouldn't even find the install location for apps. This happened after i restored the windows 11 instalation.

Hello Fabio, may I know if you checked for Windows updates once the restore ended?

If you need it, you can check for windows updates via PC Settings > Update & Security > Windows update > click on get updates
And check for app updates opening the Microsoft store as well
