Windows 11 Xbox app installation fail

Adam Kreft · Apr 29, 2023

Hello everyone,

two days ago the xbox app refused to boot. Therefore I uninstalled the app and tried to reinstall it but unfortunately the installationprogress cancels during the installation. Any ideas, why this is happening?
Already tried to install it by using the store as well as using the xbox installer. The store is hanging itself up. I need help
Cheers

I've tried a new VM, I could only download a Windows 11 ARM VHDX.

So I tried to downgrade it to Windows 10 just after installation but it failed.

So I will wait a patch of the Xbox app for Windows 11 ARM.

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

Please try the steps one at a time to resolve the issue.

Solution 1: Repair the Gaming Services app and Xbox app.

Please go to Settings > Apps > Apps Features. Select Gaming Services, then click Advanced options. Click the repair button, do the same for the Xbox app, try launching the game again using the Xbox app, and see if it works.

Solution 2: Uninstall and reinstall the Gaming Services App

Select the Search icon on the taskbar, type powershell, right-click on Windows PowerShell, and then select Run as administrator.

In Windows PowerShell, type the following command and press Enter:

get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers

In the same window, type the following command and press Enter:

start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

Install the app on that page and select Yes when you receive the User Account Control (UAC) prompt.

Restart your device and try to launch the app and see if it works.

Solution 3:

Please open the PowerShell in admin mode and paste the following below:

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

Are you sure? Windows 11 on ARM can run x86 apps. The problem only happens with paid content being installed via the Xbox app, and normally paid games that are included with a subscription. The error occurs at the start of the download, as if it fails when it's trying to verify if it's been purchased or not.

The Xbox App is already built into Windows 11 and therefore can not be installed.

Does it not show load if you search for 'Xbox' in the Windows 11 search box?

Also, make sure all Xbox Apps are up to date in the store, and make sure you have the Xbox Companion App installed, it works with the Xbox App.
