  1. Xbox app launches then closes itself.


    Whenever I launch my Xbox app on Windows it closes itself. I cancelled my PC game pass because this is the 2nd month I haven't been able to launch it.

    I've made sure everything is up to date, I've uninstalled/reinstalled. It doesn't have an error message.

    :)

    Hi! I'm Rostom, an Independent Advisor. I will be glad to help you here.

    Sorry to hear about the issue. Let's try the steps below.

    -Please logout and login on Microsoft store. Make sure that the date & time, timezone and region are correct

    -Run this powershell command ( Run as administrator)
    Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

    -Delete Microsoft Store Local Cache Files
    C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe

    Once done, restart your PC.

    Could not launch the app

    Yes, I believe that the app is failing to launch, because just only the Xbox logo with green background appears for a few seconds. It does not even come to a sign-in page yet. Just close itself!!

    Xbox App closing itself.

    I've been having the same issues. Its been a problem since I started using the app (soon after it became available). It definitely has become more of an issue over the past month though. Previously it would only happen occasionally and did not bother
    me. Also, as a note this issue has bother me on multiple installations of Windows. However, this past month it has actually been a huge nuisance. For instance, in the past thirty minutes the application has closed with no warning 4 or 5 times. I have tried
    the suggested solutions and none have worked. I'm willing to try any solutions you can offer or things to help you guys troubleshoot this!
