Xbox app wont load for PC?

How do I manually install the Xbox app?

Press Windows then type Microsoft Store and open the top result.

Input Xbox inside the search bar at the top of the window, press Enter then click the Get button next to the Xbox app result.

To do that, go to the Windows 11 download page and select the multi-edition ISO.

Use the Mount option, select Setup.exe, and follow the prompts to install.

Don’t forget to check the boxes allowing you to keep both your personal files and your apps.
