Xbox app stuck on "Launching Xbox App"

Hello, AHMADALKABLAWI. I'm Arturo, a community user like you, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

Based on the information you provided, I can suggest the following potential solutions.
(Skip the ones you already tried)

A. Run the Gaming Services repair tool and verify if the app works after that.

https://support.xbox.com/help/games-apps/troubleshooting/gaming-services-repair-tool > Please expand the field that says “Downloadable version” and follow the steps.

B. Search “Services” by using the Windows search functionality and look for the following services:

IP Helper
Xbox Live Auth Manager
Xbox Live Game Save
Xbox Live Networking Service
Gaming Services

For each service: Right-click on the service > Properties.
In Startup Type, set the service to Automatic.

If the service isn’t started, click Start > Apply > OK to save changes, restart your PC and try again.
Note: In case GamingServices can't be modified, skip that one.

C. Perform a clean boot in your PC, once restarted, try again.
You can follow the steps for the clean boot process, by clicking here:

D. Disable temporarily your antivirus or firewall; this includes Microsoft Defender. Then, try again.

E. Connect your PC to a different Wi-Fi network, like a mobile hotspot, before trying again.

F. Change the DNS settings on your PC:

“Open Control Panel.
Click on Network and Internet.
Click on Network and Sharing Center.
Click the “Change adapter settings” option in the left pane.

Right-click the active network interface and select the Properties option.

Select and check the “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” option.

Click the Properties button.
Select the “Use the following DNS server addresses” option.”

Then, for the primary address, insert 1. 1. 1. 1 and then this other one, 1. 0. 0. 1 for the alternate.
Restart your PC before trying again.

Note: You may want to try with 8. 8. 8. 8 and 8. 8. 4. 4 as well.

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues launching Xbox App.

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

Please log Out and log in again.

Log out from both the Xbox app and the Microsoft Store.

Restart your PC.

Log in to the Microsoft Store first, then log in to the Xbox app using the same account.

And then clear Xbox App and Microsoft Store Cache. To do this kindly press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog.

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

Open the Xbox app and check if the issue is resolved.

Next is to reinstall gaming services. Open Windows PowerShell as an administrator.

Run the following command to remove Gaming Services:

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

After removing Gaming Services, open the Microsoft Store and search for "Gaming Services" to reinstall it.

Then check date and time settings. Please go to Settings > Time & Language > Date & Time and make sure the Set time automatically toggle is turned on.

After that is to make sure that your PC is up to date. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and click on the Check for updates button.

I hope that this will help you to launch Xbox App successfully.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Reinstall Gaming Services via Microsoft Store and restart your PC.

And then run disk cleanup and clear temporary files by pressing Windows + R to open the Run dialog, type temp, and hit Enter. Delete all files in the folder, please skip any files in use.

Do the same with %temp% and prefetch.

Next is to reset network configuration. Open Command Prompt as Administrator.

Restart your PC and relaunch the Xbox app.

Then verify your Xbox account sync by making sure that your account is syncing correctly with Xbox Live. Open Settings > Accounts > Email & Accounts.

Remove and re-add your Microsoft account tied to Xbox.

Launch the Xbox app and attempt to sign in again.

After that is to reinstall Microsoft Store. Open PowerShell as Administrator.

Run this command:

get-appxpackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Restart your PC and check if the Xbox app opens properly.

Kindly update Windows and drivers because an outdated Windows or drivers can cause app issues. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.

Install all pending updates. Update your NVIDIA drivers by visiting the NVIDIA website.

Some third-party antivirus, VPNs, or overlays can interfere, please temporarily disable your antivirus/firewall. Turn off all overlays such as Discord, GeForce Experience. Retry launching the Xbox app.
