XBOX Game Pass games installation problem.

Christian Seth Acuesta · May 15, 2023

I tried installing Hearts of Iron IV then suddenly the gamepass just stopped installing and all games on queue bugged out. I tried reinstalling everything and the only fix that i found out is that you need to reset your pc. But after I did that i re installed the game again but the problem came back. I can't risk another reset of the pc as i've already reinstalled all that I needed again. I can't use the service that I've payed for and it's really annoying me.

Hi, Christian. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

Please try the steps one at a time to resolve the issue.

Solution 1: Repair the Gaming Services app and Xbox app.

Please go to Settings > Apps > Apps Features. Select Gaming Services, then click Advanced options. Click the repair button, do the same for the Xbox app, try installing the game after that, and see if it works.

Solution 2: Uninstall and reinstall the Gaming Services App

Select the Search icon on the taskbar, type powershell, right-click on Windows PowerShell, and then select Run as administrator.

In Windows PowerShell, type the following command and press Enter:

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

In the same window, type the following command and press Enter:

start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

Install the app on that page and select Yes when you receive the User Account Control (UAC) prompt.

Restart your device and try to install the game again.

Solution 3:

Please open the PowerShell in admin mode and paste the following below:

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

Hi again and thanks for keeping us informed.

The error code 0x8007001F means "A device attached to the system is not functioning."
(And from a distance, only guessing remains)

Did you change a default install Locations (at settings->storage->)??

But I guess it is your GPU and maybe a new driver could help and also to reinstall DirectX Redist (June 2010)

During install I see no UAC prompt on the games that require admin acceptance.

I'm the only user and constantly start up Xbox beta as Admin each and every time.

Even now at time index 01:04am EST; Trying to install DBD; spent the last hour with it stuck at "Resuming 0%"

You may have missed my point.

I have problems when installing specific GamePass games onto my tower; Vampyr, The Other Worlds, DBD. It took THREE tries to get The Other Worlds to install and THEN I could not even see my avatar's face when setting up the avatar for that game.

Games that do not require admin approval install just fine

If this Powershell option does not work, The only option is a root canal and that's not fun

Hello JoeGibson,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that you are unable to install games from Xbox Game Pass on your Windows 10 computer due to an error message appearing when you try to give approval for the installation. We recommend making sure
that
Windows 10 is up to date. We have
a thread on the forums that pertains to issues with using the Xbox (beta) App. Go ahead and try out some of these solutions, and be sure to let us know the results!

Hi JoeGibson,

Yes there are differences: the games you want to download from steam you owne - the game pass games is something like rent!!

Most of the time, if it says "needs administrator approval for installation," you should simply grant your account these rights for the Installation. If you don't do this, there are problems with the installation and you usually find it difficult to get
rid of them.

And if the game works proper after the Setup,
you can try remove the Administrator Right, and hopefully this does have no side effect on the game.

Hope this helps and please keep us informed
