My bar isn't moving at all. And when I try to log myself in, in the App which is already open even though it didn't install, the login windows are just blinking a few times before it disappears. Microsoft Store the same thing, I can't log in.

Another update:

So I've reinstalled my Xbox App, and now when I tried installing anything from there it always go from Preparing to Error 0x80080005.

Now I've googled my way through this error, restart a couple of services according to a couple different thread from here, but I always get 0x80080005.

Before this weekend my Xbox App was set to install games on my E: drive where my SSD NVMe is. Now I tried using C: and it is still giving me 0x80080005. This is very frustrating, while similar service like EA Origin never gives me this hard time

Thank you for the advices, but I cannot update my Windows, it gives me an error 0x80080005 saying that there were some problems with the installation of the updates. Because of this, I cannot update the Xbox and the Store. I sincerely don't know what to do

Now I'm going deeper into the rabbit hole. I opened up Windows Event Viewer and saw that GamingServices (which I think is required for Game Pass to work) always throw this error:

The GamingServices service terminated with the following error:

The system cannot find the file specified.

And this only started happening on 07/12/2019. Either there was a botched update on my GamingServices, or somehow it got corrupted. I'll try to reinstall this again.
