Windows can not find "XBoxPcAppAdminServer.exe" XBox stuck trying to update.

Hello, Nick. I'm Arturo, a community user like you, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

Based on the information you provided, I would like to suggest the following potential solutions.
(Skip the ones you already tried)

1. Run the Gaming Services repair tool. Please click below, expand the field that says “Downloadable version” and follow the steps before attempting to update the Xbox app.

2. Right-click on the Windows button and select PowerShell (run as an administrator).
Then, run the following command: (You may want to copy and paste the entire command)

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

This command can take a while to end, but when the process ends, you should be able to type in the PowerShell window.
After that, please restart your computer and try updating the app again.

3. Run the SFC tool on your PC. This tool may help you find and repair potential corruptions.

4. Create a new local user on your PC. Then test if you have the same outcome or not.

Hi Joel,

The first thing I would suggest is to make certain that there aren't any updates that got stuck or blocked. Let's try this first:

1.Press the Windows key

2.Type in Windows Update

3.Under the search bar you see on the right, choose Check for Updates

4.In the Windows Update screen, press the Check Now button

5.Even if it doesn't seem to find any updates, click on View Details

6.Install any updates you see that haven't been installed- including optional ones

7.Restart using the restart option from the shut down menu.

Then, we'll try this as well:

1.Press Windows Key + R

2.In the box, type wsreset.exe and press Enter

3.This will relaunch the Windows Store

4.Hover over the right-hand side to bring up the charm bar

5.Choose Settings

6.Choose App Updates

7.Choose Sync licenses

Let me know if you find any updates that were missing or stuck. Thanks.

i am using window 11 and there was xbox services update but its stuck so any help? (only xbox services is stuck)

I am stuck when i try to open the app. It starts updating and even if i waited 20/30 minutes the bar is stucked to 0%. I tried mano times, i try to reinstall, to reinstall the store, to update windows 11 etc etc. But nothing works. I can install the app every time but every time it stay at 0% updating after i launch it

Unfortunately if you are seeing the game just referred to as "app", you are missing a critical Windows Update. This can happen sometimes even if you think you're all up-to-date as updates can get "stuck".

Try this:

1. Press the Windows key
2. Type in Windows Update
3. Under the search bar you see on the right, choose Check for Updates
4. In the Windows Update screen, press the Check Now button
5. Even if it doesn't seem to find any updates, click on View Details
6. Install any updates you see that haven't been installed- including optional ones. Not taking optional updates can actually often negatively affect a number of apps!
   
7. Restart using the restart option from the shut down menu. It is extremely important that you use "restart" and none of the other options. Just turning off your computer or tablet WILL NOT work- it has to be restarted from that menu.
