Updated Windows and the Xbox app couldn't play any games...

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 Christopher

Do you mean by reinstalling, the Xbox app?

May I know if you already tried this:

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)

Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services and update everything too.

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 try again

Check if there are any pending windows updates. Update it to the latest version. Check if there are any updates for the windows store and xbox app. Force quit the game and try updating and launch the game. After updates restart the PC

The companion app is for consoles

You need to buy it on the xbox app on your windows 10

By using the Xbox console companion app you queued the Xbox game not the pc game

And fable 2 isn't available per say on Windows 10 but there is one offical way to play it on Windows 10

You need to update to the recent windows 10 anniversary update if it's available to you in your region

It's varies region by region as ita a phased release since the Xbox 20th anniversary not long ago

Once you have it you need to download the xbox play app which lets you play non windows supported xbox games like fable 2

And yes it is ms offical xbox app to play 360 games
