When trying to launch a game from xbox app it takes me straight to Microsoft store

Hi there lesgurkko welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. Well, I suggest you try this:

Open the Settings app it is the gear in the start menu.

Open Accounts

Click Sign-in Options

Scroll down to Privacy

Uncheck "Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device and reopen my apps after an update and restart."

Restart your PC!

Nothing when I try to launch a game included with game from both the XBOX app and microsoft store

If I click play/launch it does nothing

I've tried to install apps from Microsoft store like whatsapp and they have installed and launched perfectly fine but when trying to launch a game that was installed on the xbox app like dragon ball fighters z it pops up with the error code 0x803f8001.

The name of the bug report is "[Xbox Forum] Can anyone help me with my xbox app not installing/launching games?"

The submission date is 19/08/22.

If the game has downloaded completely, but will not launch from the Installed Games sidebar in the Xbox app, please try launching the title from the Start menu or the Microsoft Store on Windows.

Hi there. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

Please try using the Microsoft Store app, search for the game using the Microsoft Store app, and launch the game from there. Let me know if it works.
