Xbox App, microsoft store and games incredibly slow to start

If you're having trouble installing or running a game from the Xbox app on your PC or Windows device, try the following solutions.

Solutions
As simple as this. A simple reboot can fix many things.
Press the Home button on the taskbar, type settings, and select Settings.
In Windows 10, select Update & security. In Windows 11, select Windows Update.

On the Windows Update tab, select Check for updates to see if updates are available for your device.
After downloading the updates, select Install now to start the installation.

After installation, we recommend that you restart your device so that the latest updates are applied.
For more information, go to:

Windows Update
Press the Home button on the taskbar, type store, and open the Microsoft Store app.
Select Library.

Under Updates and downloads, check to see if there are any updates available for the Xbox app or Gaming Services. If an update is available, select Update.

Hi, my name is Marvina and I will be happy to help you.

I'm sorry you have this problem, researching on the internet I was able to find that in the forum, the independent advisor Gerardo, recommends the following steps for a solution.

Please try to solve the problem by doing the following procedures:

1. In your console settings, go to the "Account" section and select the "Delete accounts" option and choose the account in question. This will delete your profile from the console but you will not lose any of its data, don't worry. .

2. With the Xbox on, press the power button on the front of the console for 10 seconds until it is completely off.

3. Unplug the power cord from the console and wait 30 seconds.

4. Reconnect the power cable to your console and turn it on normally.

5. Then add the account back to your console so that all your profile information is downloaded again, it won't take long.

6. Check if the problem persists, if so, please reset your console to its factory settings, keeping your games and applications as follows:

Go to Settings > System > Console Info > Reset Console > Reset and keep games and apps.

This way your console will be reconfigured and you will have to add your account again. No game or application will be deleted, nor will you lose the progress of any game since these are saved in the Xbox Cloud.

7. Check if the problem persists.

will this help me on my pc or is this an xbox only solution? Like stated this is on pc windows 10 not xbox. That solution looks like its for an xbox

the app works incredibly badly. slow, sometimes it doesn't open, it doesn't ciutend tasks by viewing articles of the store....

I did not. However, after the clean install (which was actually my second), and then after waiting a bit over a day, things seem like they are (slowly) downloading and installing now. I'm not sure what the issue is or was, and it's still slow, but I'm OK with that as long as I can still actually get into everything. I just find it incredibly odd that I've got zero issues with anything outside of installing from the Microsoft Store/XBox app (especially as this is...a Microsoft OS).
