    Unable to install gaming services for Xbox


    My Xbox app on pc cannot function because there is an error with the gaming services app. In the Xbox app it registers as an 0x8007007e error.

    I have attempted to install from the prompts within the app, as well as using Windows Powershell commands -

    Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers

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

    in particular the first command results in an error-

    remove-appxpackage : Removal failed. Please contact your software vendor. Deployment Remove operation with target volume C: on Package Microsoft.GamingServices_13.80.25001.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe from: failed with error 0x80070002. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=235160 for help diagnosing app deployment issues. At line:1 char:46 + ... AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: Unable to install gaming services for Xbox :)) [Remove-AppxPackage], COMException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException,Microsoft.Windows.Appx.PackageManager.Comman ds.RemoveAppxPackageCommand

    I have also attempted the instructions in this similar thread (What is GamingServicesNet.exe & GamingServices.exe and why does it - Microsoft Community) , running the gaming repair tool (https://support.xbox.com/en-SG/help/games-apps/troubleshooting/gaming-services-repair-tool), reinstalling the Xbox app and attempting to repair and reset the gaming services app to no success.

    Please see the error for the repair tool below.

    I cannot pinpoint the exact point the issues started but i did attempt at deleting the 'GamingServices' registry files in an attempt to fix my inability to select drives when installing games in the Xbox app.

    I am running the windows 10 home with all the latest Microsoft updates

    :)

    Unable to install gaming services on Windows 11 - Error code 0x80070490

    Gaming services is not showing in the installed apps, and the gaming services is not listed in the services,

    The folder was present so I deleted the accounts and cache folders and tried the Xbox app again but I was unable to download gaming services still.

    It is either a windows error or Gaming services app error. This originated when I was unable to start my game and was redirected to install gaming services.

    Gaming services unable to be installed or opened.

    Hello, I have the same issues as Joseph and I have been following a discussion on how to fix gaming services as well. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...services/31596138-5437-42c4-b2d1-bc5e6c6d58d8 this is the link. The solution I was following was the first reply from Lucas.

    I believe in the 8th step, in deleting all the temp files, there seems to be one .sys file that cannot be deleted because another application is using it. (shown here).

    I have tried to close as much applications that I could like Discord, Chrome, all game launchers, iTunes, and even software like iCue and Logitech G Hub. I know for sure I have not closed MSI Dragon Center because I do not like to force quit that, other than that it still is in use and I cannot delete it, which I believe is the source of the problem here

    Hello Joseph, this is Manuela!. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user like you ready to assist with this

    I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this unexpected situation with Gaming services.
    May I know if you're not able to see a notification in the bottom when you open the Xbox app in your PC?

    If maybe that's not possible, may I know if you're able to download apps or games directly from the Microsoft store?
