    Xbox App on PC Uninstalls Games After Updating


    I have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and the last four times the Xbox app has updated on my Windows 11 PC, it completely uninstalls all of my games that I have through Xbox Gamepass Ultimate. And I mean completely uninstalled - there is nothing in the appropriate folders at all. They are completely empty. The two exceptions are the Minecraft Launcher and Microsoft Solitaire Collection. Games installed through the EA app are still available, but only from the EA app itself and do not show up in the Xbox app.

    How do I stop this from happening? It is very annoying to have to download the games over and over again just because there was an update. Especially when I have my laptop on the road and have games downloaded and installed specifically to play when away from an internet connection only to open the app to find all of them gone.

    :)

    Xbox App on PC Uninstalls Games After Updating

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Squirrelfire, I believe it is not possible, this is because although the games are in the Game Pass catalog, they still belong to the developer and when this type of update happens is because the game kernel needs to be recompiled completely, so it does a new installation in the update.

    Can launch Xbox app on PC after update + oblivion doesn't launch either

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues launching Xbox App and Oblivion.

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

    Please clear Xbox app cache because corrupted cache files may prevent the app from updating or launching. Open Run by pressing Windows + R.

    Type: wsreset.exe and press Enter. This will reset the Microsoft Store cache.

    After it completes, relaunch the Xbox app.

    And then repair or reset the Xbox App. To do this, go to Settings > Apps > Installed Apps. Find Xbox App, click Advanced Options, and select Repair and this won’t delete your data.

    If that doesn’t work, choose reset to reinstall the app settings.

    Next is to reinstall Gaming Services because xbox functionality depends on the Gaming Services app by opening PowerShell as Administrator and run the following commands:

    get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers

    start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

    This will uninstall and reinstall Gaming Services. Restart your PC afterward.

    Then manually update Xbox app and gaming services. To do this, open the Microsoft Store. Go to Library and click Get Updates.

    Install updates for the Xbox app and Gaming Services.

    After that is to check for updates. Please go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. Download and install all pending updates.

    If the issue persist after performing the troubleshooting steps, kindly uninstall and reinstall the game.

    Right-click on the game in the Xbox app and select Uninstall. This will delete the corrupted files from the game. After reinstalling, test the game launch.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    hi i need help i cant turn on atomic heart game on xbox game pass ultimate on pc? why ? Thank you

    There are a few ways you can do to fix Atomic Heart's problems if you're using Xbox Game Pass on a PC:

    1. Make sure your computer satisfies the minimum system requirements for the game by checking. The system requirements for Atomic Heart are listed on the game's shop page.

    2. Verify any updates to make sure the game has the most recent patch or update. You may do this by selecting Atomic Heart in the Xbox app's "My Library" menu, then checking for updates.

    3. Uninstall the game: Try uninstalling and reinstalling the game if resetting it does not fix the problem. To accomplish this, pick "Uninstall" from the context menu when you right-click Atomic Heart in the Xbox app's "My Library" section. You can reinstall the game using the Xbox app after uninstalling it before.
