unable to download games through xbox app

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this POCKETSANDSHSHA

Please answer the following questions to assist you properly :

Is this happening on Windows 10 or 11?
Are you receiving an error message after the waiting time or simply nothing happens?
What did you tried so far to fix this problem? In that way I can advise you different things or how to proceed

In the meantime, double check if everything is up to date in your PC :

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)

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 give it a new try

I tried to proceed through the steps you laid out but the first recommendation you provided I was unable to run the notepad file as a administrator or at all, as in there was no option to run this new file at all. Followed through the second recommendation you laid out, now the gaming service is unable to be downloaded due to still showing as the gaming service app installed to the computer, also now unable to play other games due to the gaming service being uninstalled but still showing to being an app on the computer. If I go through the second recommendation again then the files GamingServices and GamingServicesnet are no longer present. To clarify a bit more if I attempt to play a game through the xbox app that was previously working it will redirect me to the windows store and pull up the gaming service app but will not allow the gaming service app to be downloaded and only shows Utilities and tools as the only available button to be pushed as if it has already been downloaded. Due to this I have now uninstalled and reinstalled the xbox app again to see if this would fix it, but this did not change anything.

Through the micosoft store, I am physically unable to due to having no install button. for the xbox app i can't even install that. Through minecraft website it just refuses to start to download.

My Gamepass app (Android) is unable to find a default Xbox for me to select so I download games from the app. I have been through all the checks suggested in help e.g. settings with the console and these are correct, along with unin/reinstalls of the app
and sign in/out on my Xbox.

Any other suggestions would be helpful.

When downloading a game through xbox pc app beta, and it crashes, unable to resume, then relise it only downloads 1.6 gb of 75 but hard drive shows its used 75gb, the disc space becomes allocated already, unable to uninstall or remove As nothing is showed
in the hard drive files. I.e programme files etc also not listed under programs to unistall. Joke
