Xbox app asks me to constantly re-install game services and doesn't detect installed games

Hello GeorgeJDR,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I can see that you are having an issue with the gaming services keeps asking to be re-installed.

We recently launched a Beta product called the Gaming Services Repair Tool for PC. This tool automatically runs checks and installs needed updates to the Gaming Services for your PC, which can resolve many game installation and update issues. Note that as this tool is currently in Beta, it will open a command prompt that only displays English at this time.

To view our support article on this beta product, go here.

To download the Gaming Services Repair Tool for PC, go here.

If you continue to experience issues after using the repair tool, it’s possible that there’s another issue that needs to be resolved first. Try the solutions provided in the Xbox App for Windows troubleshooter.

Thank you for understanding.

Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing the game and dlc, sometimes the game doesn't detect the dlc, so re-downloading it can help.

So yeah after installing from the link, it opens into the xbox app then prompts to install the gaming services, but doesn't allow me to install it the game after it appears to reinstall gaming services which was already installed. Pressing the button multiple times seems to loop, as it attempts to reinstall the gaming services over and over but nothing really happens.

Hi Tomm,

I'm able to open up the XBOX app just fine, but can't get to the general settings area, IMG2 as above.

If I try to launch a game, or download a new game. It is telling me, that the gaming services needs to be installed. And when I click on install, it shows a popup on the notification area, that gaming services is getting installed/got installed.

It happens everytime, even if I already installed the gaming services on the machine.

On the games with Epic/EA launcher, it is constantly trying to install the launcher even tho they are already installed and even logged in.

Kind regards

Yakup
