    Windows Xbox App Not Downloading Game


    I was downloading Forza Horizon 5 and when the installation was at 63% and 65gb downloaded, I paused the download, closed the Xbox app via task manager. Later, I reopened the Xbox app to pick up where I left off on the download, but when I hit download it prompts me saying I have to download the entire game again. When I hit continue, it says "Preparing 0%, view progress" and after a few seconds it completely stops, and gives me the option to download the game again. I have tried many times but it does not begin to download the game, and I am unable to locate where the downloads go to try to delete the previously downloaded 63%.

    In the screenshots provided, the first one is at 12:10 am where it begins the download at 0% then the second is at 12:11 am where it cancels the download and prompts me to attempt to install again.

    Cannot download Xbox Game Pass for PC games that require Administrator Approval

    Hi,

    There is a big misunderstanding of how the Xbox App works on PC. The Xbox App is not a stand alone application like Steam, Origin or GoG Galaxy. In terms of downloading and even running games, the Xbox App is like a portal. When you chose to download a PC
    game on the App, the download is sent to the Windows Store App, and it is the Windows Store that does the download. The Xbox App doesn't download anything.

    Like wise, any error messages you get while downloading content using the App are Windows Error codes. As far as I can determine 0x8007001f is a Windows Update error.

    Have you tried to repair your Windows install using the

    Windows 10 media creation tool?

    Can the Windows Store verify an existing installation of game(s) downloaded previously or from files from another computer? Similar to Steam et al

    Hi there Nor,

    Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, you will need to click the install to download any digital content for PC.

    If you have a Windows 10 device, you can now use the Xbox app to connect to the Xbox Live service.

    If you’re having problems installing the Games for Windows Live app, or connecting to the Xbox Live service, see

    Troubleshoot Games for Windows Live connection problems
    .

    For other gaming options, see:

    Hope this helps.

    Can't install Gears 5 on PC

    Hi Pawer 8,

    You will need to update Windows to 1903 in order to download the Xbox (beta) app game launcher and then you will be able to download games available in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. If the update is not being offered in your Windows update settings, try running
    the Xbox (beta) app installer and it should also walk you through updating Windows.

    The installer is found here: https://www.xbox.com/xbox-app

    If you still can't update Windows to download the app, then try using the Update Assistant: https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows10

    I hope this helps!

    Are they ever going to have a game pass section on the PC app?

    no point as in windows 11 the store directs you to the xbox app for games now, you have to use the xbox app to initiate game downloads (even bought games) and use gamepass games too.

    all that and yet it is still the windows store that downloads the stuff in the background.

    XBox App on PC (Win 10)

    if you had games listed in companion app they then you either streamed from an xbox or they were installed via the windows store, if the game is not listed in the xbox app then download from the windows store.

    you can install the companion app from the windows store too.
