    Xbox PC app "Gaming Services" needed, but never installs?


    Woke up this morning and been troubleshooting this for an hour now. Launch Xbox app and saw all my games were not listed and this notification:

    Click install and nothing happens, just been staring at this for a very long time:

    In the settings it shows this:

    Iv uninstalled and reinstalled the Xbox app to no avail, same thing happens. Its installed on my system drive. Anyone else experiencing this or can advise how I can fix this?

    Thank you

    :)

    I can't install games

    If you are on PC, you need to install the Ubisoft and EA app in order to access their games on the service

    error-code-0x80073D26 and Microsoft store all updates are stuck on pending.

    I understand, in this case, try the solution below, please.

    1. Go to the PC settings and select Apps.

    2. On the Apps, search Gaming Services.

    3. Click Gaming Services and click Advanced settings.

    4. Under Advanced settings, select Reset.

    5. Repeat the steps but this time with App Installer instead of Gaming Services.

    6. Reboot the PC and you will be able to install/update gaming services as well as install Xbox for PC games.

    Xbox app can't install paid games on ARM devices

    you get that error because gaming services is not installed or updated, gaming services can only install and launch on standard pc architecture and not arm based devices.

    the xbox app requires gaming services to be installed to be able to download most xbox app games (gamepass games).

    Persistent Notification of EA games in Xbox app upon launch

    Thank you, I asked to do all that together once again, in case you did it separately.

    Did you installed the Xbox app available from the Microsoft Store or did you downloaded the app from here?

    https://www.xbox.com/en-US/apps/xbox-app-for-pc

    ----

    Let's try in this case deleting the Xbox app.

    After that, Reinstall Gaming Services using powershell command

    Press Windows key + X and then select Windows PowerShell (Admin).

    Type or copy / past the following command and press Enter:

    Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers

    Restart the PC and re-install the Xbox application.

    A blue notification with the following message is going to appear at the bottom:

    "This app needs an extra component. Gaming Services is needed for playing some games. Administrator approval required. Install"

    Select Install to reinstall Gaming Services, once installed restart your PC check again

    My Gaming Services are not working.

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this BLINKINGSTEAK12

    Did you tried checking the Xbox PC app?
    You can install gaming services from there as well

    When you open the Xbox application a blue notification with the following message is going to appear at the bottom:
    "This app needs an extra component. Gaming Services is needed for playing some games. Administrator approval required. Install"

    Select Install to reinstall Gaming Services, once installed check again

    Let me know if you’re able to install gaming services in that way
