Xbox PC app tried to update and now will not launch.

Hello, KRSG. I'm Arturo, a community user like you, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

I'm sorry to hear you're not able to open the Xbox app.

Not only that, but based on the information you provided, I would like to suggest the following potential solutions.
(Skip the ones you already tried)

1. Run the Gaming Services repair tool. Please click below, expand the field that says “Downloadable version” and follow the steps.

https://support.xbox.com/help/games-apps/troubleshooting/gaming-services-repair-tool

After that, attempt to open the Xbox app again.

2. Search “Services” by using the Windows search functionality and look for the following services:

IP Helper
Xbox Live Auth Manager
Xbox Live Game Save
Xbox Live Networking Service
Gaming Services

For each service: Right-click on the service > Properties.
In Startup Type, set the service to Automatic.

If the service isn’t started, click Start > Apply > OK to save changes, restart your PC and try again.
Note: In case GamingServices can't be modified, skip that one.

3. Perform a clean boot in your PC, once restarted, try again.
You can follow the steps for the clean boot process, by clicking here:

4. Right-click on the Windows button and select PowerShell (run as an administrator).
Then, run the following command: (You may want to copy and paste the entire command)

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

This command can take a while to end, but when the process ends, you should be able to type in the PowerShell window.
After that, please restart your computer and try again.

5. Create a new local user on your PC. Then test if you have the same outcome or not.

I'll look forward to hearing from you.

Hello JoperAntiUTK,

Thank you for reaching out to us about your issue!

Have you tried launching this game from the Xbox App? You can find that here: Xbox App for Windows PC | Xbox

Once installed, verify that the game has been updated before launching as the current version is v1.17.41

[Let us know if this answered your question by tapping "Yes" below]

Update, I have tried the following to no sucess:

• I have checked my Teredo connection in windows settings, and that is fine
• I have reset both the xbox app and the windows store app on my PC
• I have tried launching the game through the windows store rather than the xbox app

I was having the same problem today when trying to launch Gears 5.

Upon launching it would send me to the Gaming Services App on the Windows Store. I tried repairing/resetting the gears app in "Apps & Features" (Which deleted it from my apps completely) (I also eventually tried this with the Xbox app as well.. which did nothing). I also tried updating all available windows updates which did not work either.

Now the Xbox App says that I need to redownload gears 5 but every time I try it gives me this error code: 0x80070424

I tried downloading/ launching other games and there was no issue.

Having trouble launching the Xbox app on my new PC. I've tried several things in PowerShield and commands, repaired and installed many Xbox related apps, and everything is up to date. I signed up for the 1-month trial of Xbox Game Pass but can’t launch Xbox. I managed to open the app client but it loads and says “Xbox needs an update. We’re getting Xbox ready for you…” and nothing happens for hours.
