Xbox App Won't Update/Launch on PC

Hi Jakeg676, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I am sorry to hear that.

Please, first, check your time settings, and set it to automatic.

Press the Windows Key + X > Settings > Time & language > Date & time > Enable "Set Timezone Automatically" and "Set Time Automatically".



Afterward, make sure your Windows is updated:

Then, reset the Microsoft Store:

Press the Windows Key + R

Type WSReset.exe and press Enter.



Next, check for app updates on the store:

With the Microsoft Store open, click on Library > Get Updates.



After that, please, download the Gaming Services Repair tool: https://aka.ms/GamingRepairTool

Once downloaded, execute the file by right-clicking on it and selecting Run as Administrator.

Follow the prompts and check if the issue was resolved (Press "Y").



Moving on from there, reset your network settings:

Please, follow these steps:

Press Windows Key + X > Settings > Network & Internet > Advanced Network Settings > Network Reset > Reset Now.



Let me know if it works!

Hello everyone,

I have a lot of issues with the Xbox App lately. Every time I restart my PC the app is broken, it won't launch unless I reinstall it. The problem is that if I was downloading a game before reinstalling the app, the game won't launch when finished downloading.

You can add to that various crashs with other game store apps since the last Windows 10 update and freezes during a restart of the PC.

Is there anybody with the same problems ?

Thanks guys.

PS. : My PC is perfectly up to date

My game did, however if you go into My games and apps on the Xbox and check in the updates section there. Also if you launch Forza and it requires an update the game won't launch but will then start the update.

I think that this article might be able to assist is fixing your issue: The data area passed to a system call is too small [FULL FIX]

Hope this helps.

Keep Calm & Game On!

I have tried all these steps and the Xbox app and Microsoft store still won't let me launch any game that uses it to launch, the troubeshooter said it detected an issue like it did before, I went to check for windows update, said it needed a restart so I did, still won't work at all. Did everything listed above and more and the Xbox app and Microsoft store still refuse to launch any game that uses them to launch, even something simple as hell that is almost as old than I am, Wolfenstein 3D won't even launch or run, and I mean no loading wheel, nothing, you click launch and it still does nothing. Oh let me add to that, that even though I restarted the pc, the troubleshooter still says there is an issue and it "was fixed" even though no matter what, it was not fixed and its not a windows update issue as I checked and it said it was fine. Nothing fixes it, there is no update, there is no discernable issue, it doesn't even bother to tell me what the issue is, when I check for updates it says it is fine.
