Xbox Game Pass: Unable to download ANY game, GamingServices is crashing or not starting

Hello Jayhab4real,

thanks for the fast reply! Yes I did restart my router and it did not make a difference. Concerning your second question, I don't quite understand. What is upnp? How do I enable/ disable that? The xbox app is allowed communication through my firewall if
that is what you mean.

Hi,

I will try to help, but it may be that you'll either need to do a repair install of Windows or a fresh install to fix this issue once for good.

The reason why your searches for error 0x80080005 are showing a Windows error is because it is a Windows error. The Xbox Game Pass App is just an extension of the Windows Store. For the Beta App to work, your both
your Windows and Windows Store need to be in working order. Any error codes the Beta App generates are Windows errors. Which explains why you get the same error when you try to install games via the Windows Store.

Some of this may go over old ground that you've tried before, apologises if it does.

Try clearing the Windows Store cache.

1. Press the Win+R keys to open the Run dialog.

2. Type WSReset.exe, and click/tap on OK.

The WSReset tool resets the Windows Store without changing account settings or deleting installed apps.

3. A command prompt window will now open without any message. After about 30 seconds, the command prompt will automatically close, and the Microsoft Store app will open.

Run the troubleshooter:

Select the Start button, and then select Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot, and then from the list select Windows Store apps
> Run the troubleshooter.

Try reinstalling gaming services. To do this:

Launch powershell as an administrator. To launch Powershell, right click on the Windows Start menu and click on Windows Powershell (admin).

Type: get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers and press enter on the keyboard.

In the same powershell window, type: start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

Install the app on that page, including accepting the UAC prompt when shown.

Run SFC and DISM scans

If damage to certain update files is already done, System File Checker comes into play. SFC is a built-in tool that scans and fixes corrupted or incomplete files. Furthermore, it can give you a wider picture of what caused the problem in first place.

You can use SFC in a few easy steps:

Right-click Start and open the Command Prompt (Admin)

In the command line type following line: sfc/scannowPress Enter to confirm.

If SFC scan didn’t fix your problem, or if you can’t run SFC scan at all, you might want to try using DISM instead. To use DISM, you just need to follow these simple steps:

Right-click Start and run Command Prompt (Admin).

In the command line, type the following:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Upgrade with the Media Creation Tool

Besides a clean reinstallation of the OS, the Media Creation Tool can be used for updates as well. While it may be best to do a clean install of Windows 10 to fix your Windows Store issues for good, the Media Creation tool allows you to preserve your
Apps, files and settings.

Download Media Creation Tool
here.

Make some space on the system partition.

Run the tool and select Upgrade this PC now.

After Windows 10 is downloaded, accept the license agreement.

Wait while the update downloads the necessary files.

Now select Download and install updates (recommended). Click Next to proceed.

Wait while the updates are downloaded. This might take a while, so you’ll have to be patient.

Follow the instructions until you reach Ready to install screen. Click Change what to keep and select Keep personal files and apps option. Now click Next.

The installation will now start. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete it.

Hi Cytron,

I will go ahead and lock this thread as it has been resolved. Please feel free to come back to the forums if you have any other issues, questions, or just want to create a discussion to talk to fellow gamers.





Thanks,

Brad

So glad to report that this step worked for me! After using the Media Creation Tool, I could download everything at decent speed from the Microsoft Store! Thank you very much for your help!!

Hey Obsessive Power,

thank you for your fast and thourough answer. I will try all of this in order and then report back. I also already thought I might need a clean install of the OS, but I want to avoid it as good as possible because of the time consumption.
