    XBOX app for Windows 10 won't let me sign in nor download games.


    Hello, everyone.

    I'm writing this post because I've reached an insane stress level trying to make the XBOX APP work.

    As the title said, I can't sign in or download any game. If I click on the sign in button, it does nothing. If I try to install a game that I've purchased via MS Store, I get the "()Unknown available" error when selecting a disk.

    I must say this is a fresh install of Windows 10 21H2. I reinstalled the OS seven times already, getting the same problem. Also, I tried deleting and reinstalling Gaming Services, XBOX App, update drivers and system updates; nothing solved my problem.

    I'm about to cancel my game pass subscription, I've already expend two weeks trying to solve the problems and that's half a suscription time, so this is my last attempt to stick to xbox games.

    I hope anyone can help me to solve this and I'll be grateful to try every possible solution.

    XBOX App version: 2201.1001.8.0

    Gaming Services version: 3.62.3001.0

    Windows version: Windows 10 Home 21H2 19044.1503 [No updates available, Fresh install]

    CPU: i7-4770

    GPU: NVIDIA GTX 970

    RAM: 2x8GB 2400MHz DDR3

    SSD: 480GB SATA 3, 370GB Free. (Main disk, Windows installed here)

    HDD: 1.8TB 7200rpm, 1.6TB Free.

    :)

    Hello, DanielM-Ruiz,

    I hope you are doing well today. Welcome to the Xbox Community. Thank you for reaching out to Xbox Forums. You are having issues with the Xbox Game Pass and not signing in and downloading games. Do you get a pop-up sign-in window when you attempt to sign in? If so, is it a blank pop-up? Could you please provide me a screenshot of both errors? Also, thank you for giving me the steps you have already taken to try and resolve this problem. I will provide a suggestion, and let's start there, and then we can try a couple of other things.

    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.
