  1. Unable to launch games on gamepass PC app


    Hi,

    I am unable to launch specific games via the gamepass app for PC.

    When I launch them it just takes me to the gaming services store page within the Microsoft store,

    Windows is fully updated and I have ran through completely re-installing the gaming services and the Microsoft store with no change on the issue.

    This is preventing me from playing most games and it appears to be happening with a lot of other people based on the gaming services reviews on the Microsoft store.

    Please can you advise of this fix for this issue????

    Regards

    Ed

    :)

    Try reinstalling the Gaming Services app on your Windows 10 device:

    - Right-click the Start button in the lower-left corner of the main screen, and then select Windows PowerShell (Admin).

    - In the Administrator: Windows PowerShell screen, 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.

    Hi Jesse,

    Thanks for your response.

    I have tried both of those things but the issue is still occurring.

    Thanks

    Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    Open Powershell in admin mode and paste the following, which I believe reinstalls the default apps on Windows 10.

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

    You can also try to re-register the Microsoft Store

    - Press Windows + X keys together and click on Windows PowerShell (Admin).

    - Now type in the command and hit Enter: Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\\AppXManifest.xml”}

    - Restart the PC.

    If that fails, try to disable Proxy Server:

    First check if proxy server is enabled;

    - Press Windows logo key + I, to open Settings.

    - Click on Network & Internet and select Proxy from the left pane.

    - Under Automatic proxy setup, toggle the switch to On for Automatically detect settings.

    - Now, under Manual proxy setup, toggle the switch to Off for Use a proxy server

    Can't play any games on GamePass except the ones on EA Play for PC

    No, They are not. I had GamePass PC earlier and everything used to work properly but then one day I got notification that there is an offer on GamePass Ultimate so I upgraded but since the day GamePass PC subscription ended and GamePass Ultimate subscription started, I can only launch games that are on EA Play and that too from EA Desktop App only.

    Now, because the GamePass Ultimate was a 3 month subscription, so I can't even go back to GamePass PC until it's over.

    Any game that launches from Xbox app for Windows fails to launch and tried repairing and resetting the Xbox and Microsoft Apps, sign-out and then again sign-in on both the apps but still same thing.

    For Example, Forza Horizon 4 used to work earlier but now it does not.
