Xbox Gamepass app on Windows 11 not launching games.

Hi VWptZl!

Sorry to hear about the issue. Let's see what we can do about this matter.

Let's reset the Microsoft Store cache: Press the Windows Logo Key + R to open the Run dialog box, type wsreset.exe, and then select OK.

Please also try to disable temporarily your anti-virus software.

If you use only Windows Defender, try to disable the Firewall temporary as well.

Restart and try downloading your game again.

If it doesn't work, try to perform a clean boot. Possible that some 3rd party services are blocking the service.

Don't forget to also reset your router by turning it off, unplug from power outlet and wait for at least 5 minutes before turning it back on.

Thank you. It happens with any gamepass game. I am indeed uning the Xbox App to download/install/launch your Game Pass Games. I am using Windows 11.

On a side note. I have no issues with purchased games through Steam as games do run perfectly.

I tried to check the terado right after the clean boot, and then tried to launch a gamepass game, both unsuccessful

I'm considering updating to windows 11

no point as in windows 11 the store directs you to the xbox app for games now, you have to use the xbox app to initiate game downloads (even bought games) and use gamepass games too.

all that and yet it is still the windows store that downloads the stuff in the background.

ou can for what spurpose

Gamepass games can only be gotten with the gamepass app and the xbox store not steam

You can run Windows 10 or 11 thru boot camp or parrallels

You would need windows ro access xbox atone or xcloud rk access xcloud ganes
