Unable to reinstall the XBOX APP.

Spearfox23 · Aug 2, 2022

Hello there,

It's been a couple days now that I was getting the "We can't sync your data with the cloud right now". I figured it was just a minor issue so I didn't give it much thought. It kept on happening and it was keeping me from launching most of my locally installed games. After a quick search, I came across another post where they advised reinstalling the app.

I tried that and now I can't even redownload the APP. It says "Something happened to this app. We’re working to fix the problem." and no matter how many times I have tried, it won't download.

I have tried restarting the computer several times as well.

Yes, Windows was up to date.

Downloading the installer from the link you provided seemed to fix both of my issues.

Thank you so much for your help.

Thanks for sharing this. May I know if your Windows is updated? Please press Windows + I. Click on Security and update > Check for updates and install all. Please let me know if you receive any error message when trying to install an update.

Also, please try to download it direct from the Xbox website (https://www.xbox.com/en-US/apps/xbox-app-for-pc) and run the XboxInstaller. See if the issue persists.
