Unable to install games via Xbox app on PC

Hi there. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

Please try the steps one at a time to resolve the issue.

Solution 1: Repair the Gaming Services app and the Xbox app.

Please go to Settings > Apps > Apps Features. Select Gaming Services, then click Advanced options. Click the repair button, do the same steps for the Xbox app, try launching the game again using the Xbox app and see if it works.

Solution 2: Uninstall and reinstall the Gaming Services App

Select the Search icon on the taskbar, type powershell, right-click on Windows PowerShell, and then select Run as administrator.

In Windows PowerShell, type the following command and press Enter:

get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers

In the same window, type the following command and press Enter:

start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

Install the app on that page and select Yes when you receive the User Account Control (UAC) prompt.

Restart your device and try to install the game again.

Solution 3:

Please open the PowerShell in admin mode and paste the following below:

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

none of these fixed the issue.

For some reason, using the command in PowerShell is not deinstalling the Xbox App. Also, I have multiple PowerShell apps on my PC: PowerShell, PowerShell (x86), PowerShell ISE, Power Shell ISE (x86). I've tried the command in all of them but it won't deinstall
the app. I could deinstall it through Settings -> Apps but I don't know if that will suffice!?

Yes you can try to do it from Settings. You should open the Windows Powershell app not the ISE. Let me know how it goes.

Sorry to know that. In this case , we'll try to reinstall the Xbox app instead. Please type in Powershell on the search field. Right click on it and choose Run as admin. Copy and paste this command

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxApp | Remove-AppxPackage

Wait till the process is done and then type "exit" to close PowerShell. Then reboot your computer.

You can reinstall the Xbox app from the Microsoft store or do it thru the powershell again. Just cipy and paste the command below to reinstall

Get-AppxPackage -allusers | foreach {Add-AppxPackage -register "$($_.InstallLocation)\appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode}

Exit powershell again then reboot the pc. See if that works. Let me know how that goes.
