    Xbox app not working on PC


    I recently got a Lenovo laptop, and my Xbox app is not working. Whenever I try to use cloud gaming on my laptop Xbox app, the screen goes black and returns me back to the menu, as well as trying to connect my Xbox to my laptop through the Xbox app. I've already tried reinstalling my Xbox app and checking my drivers for updates, and nothing is working. I can also show you a video of this happening.

    :)

    Hello! Thanks for your reply and for trying the steps. Kindly also try to delete all files in C:\Users\User_name\AppData\Local\Packages \Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache, and then reboot your pc.

    This will only rescan all your downloaded files in just a few minutes then check the app again.

    Xbox Pc App not working

    Hi theBondy,

    Welcome to Microsoft Xbox Community Forum. I understand that you're experiencing issues with the Xbox PC App.

    Just to make confirm, did you purchase the Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass?



    Based on the information you've provided; it seems that the issue might be related to the Xbox App or Gaming Services. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

    1. Xbox App or Gaming Services might not be up to date. Please make sure that you have the latest version of the Xbox App and Gaming Services installed. You can check for updates by going to the Microsoft Store and clicking on the three dots in the top right corner, then click on "Downloads and updates" and check for updates.



    2. Your account might not be provisioned for the environment. This error message usually appears when there is an issue with your account. Please make sure that you are signed in with the correct account and that your account is provisioned for the environment. You can check this by going to the Xbox website and signing in with your account.



    3. Your Windows Firewall might be blocking the Xbox App. Please make sure that the Xbox App is allowed through your Windows Firewall. You can do this by going to the Windows Security app, clicking on "Firewall & network protection", then click on "Allow an app through firewall" and make sure that the Xbox App is allowed.



    4. Your antivirus software might be blocking the Xbox App. Please make sure that your antivirus software is not blocking the Xbox App. You can do this by temporarily disabling your antivirus software and see if the issue persists.



    5. Your internet connection might be unstable. Please make sure that you have a stable internet connection and that your network is not blocking the Xbox App. You can try resetting your network settings by going to Settings > Network & Internet > Network reset.



    If none of the above solutions work, you can try resetting the Xbox App by going to Settings > Apps > Apps & features > Xbox > Advanced options > Reset. This will reset the Xbox App to its default settings and might help resolve the issue.



    Here are some articles also that might be helpful:

    Kind regards,
    Marrion

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues with Xbox App.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    Please change language settings by opening Settings > Time & Language > Language & Region. Make sure English (United States) is at the top of the list.

    Restart your laptop and access cloud gaming again.

    And then reset the Xbox App. To do this, go to Settings > Apps > Installed Apps.

    Find Xbox, click Advanced Options, then select Reset.

    Restart your laptop and check if the issue persists.

    Next is to check your display settings if your laptop has Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) enabled, please disable it in your graphics settings.

    Then update Windows and Xbox App. Ensure that your Windows is up to date, go to Settings > Windows Update.

    Open the Microsoft Store, go to Library, and update the Xbox app.

    If the issue persist after performing the troubleshooting steps, kindly test cloud gaming on a different Wi-Fi network or use a wired connection to a more stable network connection. Please check if this works.

    Thank you for your cooperation.
