Why is the Xbox pc app so garbage?

Hi Jennifer, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I am sorry to hear that.

Can you tell me which error message you received?

Please, first, check your time settings, and set it to automatic.

Press the Windows Key + X > Settings > Time & language > Date & time > Enable "Set Timezone Automatically" and "Set Time Automatically".



Afterward, make sure your Windows is updated:

Then, reset the Microsoft Store:

Press the Windows Key + R

Type WSReset.exe and press Enter.



Next, check for app updates on the store:

With the Microsoft Store open, click on Library > Get Updates.



After that, please, download the Gaming Services Repair tool: https://aka.ms/GamingRepairTool

Once downloaded, execute the file by right-clicking on it and selecting Run as Administrator.

Follow the prompts and check if the issue was resolved (Press "Y").



Moving on from there, reset your network settings:

Please, follow these steps:

Press Windows Key + X > Settings > Network & Internet > Advanced Network Settings > Network Reset > Reset Now.



Let me know if it works!

Wow....you know what works wonders fixing this garbage xbox app for pc. Or just stop making games on pc. Not constantly reinstalling somthing. That's why he's complaining in the first place!

it maybe your internet or location, i downloaded 6 games on there totalling 145GB not an issue and downloaded overnight easily.

you initiate the download in the xbox beta app but it is windows 10 store that downloads it.

check if you missing any updates

thats a good question, i was trying to show my friend a video i did the other day and it kept lagging and wouldn't play it all the way through, i restarted the app, and it did the same thing.

That problem may have to do where you live. You could try reset your router, clear the app cache from Microsoft Store, our force the app to shutdown. That maybe resolve some of your problems. If you live on US, maybe its the overuse of the internet on
that country.
