    This does not happen with older games I have downloaded but the new ones I download this happens to them. I have tried going into permissions, reinstalling, rebooting, unblocking (no files were blocked). For some reason any game I've tried to download today all display this message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have appropriate permissions to access the item."

    "Choose something else to do. Because of your past behavior, you can't send messages." I have a clean history though.

    The only resolution I got was using the Beta Xbox app. When trying to send messages I wasn't receiving any messages about past behavior. I can't state anything about playing online as I don't do that. I don't even own an Xbox and I don't play many games
    on Windows apps. I only wanted to try and use the app for communication purposes. I was still able to send a message from the website. I was getting this error from both my Windows phone and Windows 10 PC. But even when I was able to send a message, the recipient
    wasn't even getting it. Not sure on that problem now. But at this point in time, I'm starting to not care about it anymore. It's not working correct for me and I have other means of contacting the intended person. I merely wanted to try something different
    out, ended up failing on me, so no longer really interested.

    Sorry I couldn't be of much help, but I haven't gotten much help in this either.

    Xbox app won't launch after installed gaming services on Windows 10

    Thank you for your help, but it doesn't work.

    My problem is I can't access Xbox app when gaming services has installed. I can access the Xbox app after I remove the gaming services by this command "get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers".

    even if I can access the Xbox app, it notifies me that I need to download gaming services. If I do, it just like it could not install (nothing happens and game cannot install, display preparing button). If I close this Xbox window and re-open it, I will not be able to launch the app (stuck in Xbox logo loading screen)

    My computer cannot install windows 11 (no TPM 2.0) and I try to update windows every time I try.

    My EA Play is work fine. no any problems.

    PS. By the way, I wasted my Pc Gamepass for a month with nothing.

    Xbox app on PC crashed while installing

    Hello Arturo,

    - I do not experience the same problem when downloading any other app from the store, it just seems to be when the Xbox app gets to the installation screen.

    - My PC is running Windows 10.

    - I have looked for people with similar problems to try and find solutions to this problem but I cannot seem to find anyone experiencing the same issue.

    Kind regards,

    Soren.
