Xbox app won't let me launch or install anything

Hi SolidusSnakes,

Thanks for reaching out to the Xbox forums! I am sorry to hear that you struggle with installing games on PC Game Pass. I am happy to help and would like to know precisely which steps you have already tried to troubleshoot this issue. Below are suggested solutions that you can try.

Solution 1: Play games offline on Windows 10 using Offline mode; this error could also be attributed to issues with the Microsoft store not recognizing your entitlement to the game. Would you please click on this link Play games offline on Windows 10 using Offline mode | Xbox Support. Then scroll down and click on the drop-down arrow and look at the steps for How to enable offline play on your device.

Solution 2: Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files. If some Windows functions aren't working or Windows crashes, use the System File Checker to scan Windows and restore your files. Sometimes corrupted files can cause issues.

Solution 3: Create a local user or administrator account in Windows . Sometimes you can have a situation with permissions or profile corruption. Please follow the steps in this link to see if that fixes the current issue.

I hope these suggestions help! If this answers your question, please mark the thread as "Answered."

Having the same issue.. Launching No Mans Sky through the Xbox (beta) app redirects me to 'Gaming Services' in the Microsoft Store which says that it's installed. Have tried uninstalling both with no joy. It has launched before from the Xbox app, but won't
now.

Hi, any installed games & apps that are on the internal hard drive will need to be installed/downloaded again on the new Xbox. Your game saves are stored on Cloud and will sync back to the new Xbox when you get it and launch a game.

So you won't actually lose anything.

nether of those worked as well, the command prompt said it was successful but it still won't let me install the xbox app

I mean it won't react to anything but me hitting the power button.

It seems that I can't launch it from the Dashboard, but that it will launch fine if I open it from my Recent games/apps.
