    Xbox App for Windows 10 PC won't install


    Hello.

    The current Xbox Console Companion on Windows advertises the "new Xbox App for Windows 10 PC". I have downloaded the installer via the link, and run it, however it does not install. It just shows the progress bar and "Making things awesome...", but nothing
    happens. I have re-downloaded the installer, and trusted it on my Firewall but I cannot get anything to happen.

    Has anyone else had this issue?

    Thanks.

    :)

    Hi,

    Error 0x80070005 is an 'access denied' error code. It means that games and apps can't be installed due to file access restrictions.

    Did you use D:\ drive on a previous PC or previous install of Windows 10?

    Games and Apps on Windows 10 Store install to a folder called 'WindowsApps', if this folder already exists on your drive, you won't be able to install games.

    To install the app, you first need to uninstall the beta xbox app from your pc and then run the installer.

    Upgrade xbox controller firmware without Windows PC or Xbox console

    No, the only way is to connect the controller to an Xbox console or Windows 10/11 PC with the Xbox Accessories app installed.

    Will Xbox series x controller work with Windows 11

    Of course. Why not.

    The Xbox app Game Pass App is going to come pre-installed on Windows 11, and Microsft want users to connect their controllers trouble free to the new OS.

    The biggest issue would be to check if your PC is compatible for Windows 11, not your controllers.

    In any event, Win 11 won't suddenly make Win 10 obsolete.
