    Xbox App PC - "Manage installs" - "Checking for updates" runs forever


    I can't install games anymore. After putting one to the install queue the app is checking for updates. The app itself does not response in actions like "cancel installation" etc. I tried to reinstall by power shell and per Windows store. I also reseted the apps, Signed out, updated windows. Nothing made it work again.

    It is the first day after the 1EUR test period has ended. I payed 9,99EUR and the whole system became unusable. I will surely quit the subscription if this is not to be repaired.

    Mit dem heutigen Update der Xbox App funktioniert wieder alles ohne die Region zu wechseln. Now with the new update of the Xbox App everything is doing well without changing the region

    Oh, I see. So actually it is working?

    In the meantime try this when you change region to German again:
    Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;

    Click Check for Updates;

    Click the Download and Install Now option, if available;

    Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services.

    Then try this:

    Go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair and then restore,

    Then do the same for the Xbox app:

    Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair and then restore, open the app and try again

    Hi Josef,

    thanks for your answer

    • I created a new EMail Address
    • I created a new LiveID
    • I bought a new GamePass
    • I set my high end Gaming PC to factory default
    • I reinstalled Windows 11.
    • I (only) installed the Xbox app
    • Same results.. [Checking for updates...]
    I found the reason already: I'm German. Switching the region of my windows to UK made it work.

    I don't like to have my PC in UK region because of the XBox app. Please let me know, when the German servers are working again.

    Thanks in Advance

    Andreas

    That's very odd buddy.
    Right now all Xbox live status are up and running in Germany
    https://support.xbox.com/de-DE/xbox-live-status

    Another option could be try with another internet connection to see if the issue persists mate.

    Or un install the most recent windows 11 update
