    Windows 11 - MS Store/Xbox App Games will not fully exit in latest Insider build


    Hello!

    Forgive me if there is a better sub for this - I have been less active in the Insider program since primarily switching to PC gaming. However, I do still regularly receive the Xbox app and Gaming Services Insider builds as part of the program and join any new ones that come available in the Xbox Insider App (Windows).

    My question is related to the latest build released sometime recently however I can't pinpoint the date [Edit: Gamebar updated 3/28/25, Gaming Services updated 3/25/25, Xbox App updated sometime prior but can't locate date, Microsoft Store updated 3/25/25]. My Xbox store/app build version is 2503.1001.9.0 | Xbox Insider: Windows Gaming External Delta.

    What has started happening since this update installed is that whenever I exit an MS Store/Xbox App game (PC game from MS Store, not any other external store including linked stores like EA), the game will not completely quit and seemingly gets stuck at the last moment. Irrespective of the title, without fail when exiting to desktop - following the proper procedure to quit to desktop within the game (ie not doing Alt-F4, task manager, force quit, etc) - the game closes in the foreground but the app remains in the taskbar as if it's still running. Trying to click on it yields no result, but trying to open a new instance of the game cannot be done because it says it is already running. As a result, the only way to then fully close it is to open task manager and end the process altogether.

    Just wanted to share the feedback as this 100% has most definitely started ever since the latest build of the Xbox app and/or Gaming Services were updated.

    I can provide further system details if applicable, or if this is entirely unrelated but there is a solution to it, I'm also all ears.

    Cheers

    Edit: An additional detail FWIW - I have tested this on titles that I own from both the Xbox Store as well as Steam (Destiny 2, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, Snowrunner) and the Steam versions are able to quit to desktop fully and without any issues. It is only the MS Store versions that have begun having the process get stuck at the last moment after the window closes.

    Are you in the insiders program? If so then the OSU wont work as its not designed to.access non public releases

    If you are having issues with installing the latest insiders build you might want to goto the r/xboxinsiders on regedit

    There is an easy fix for insider update errors though login on a windows 10 pc and download the insiders app from.the ms store remove your console and reboot then update which you can use the public releases sfter which you can reapply fot insiders

    However this is only for insiders build consoles and not.to be attempted by non insiders

    "Game is currently not available in your account." Error code 0x87E10BD0 for all Xbox Game Pass games

    Hi Vinicius

    My Windows is definitely up to date, as a matter of fact I updated to the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview build when it released yesterday.

    Repairing the Gaming Services app did not fix the issue, neither did uninstalling it, restarting, then reinstalling it.

    Hopefully you've got something else up your sleeve that might fix the issue for me.
