    Xbox PC gamepass games requiring administrator to launch


    Whenever i download a game from gamepass on my PC it installs perfectly, no issues, no lag. however, when I go to play the game i just installed (or any previously installed games) it doesnt visually do anything for a few minutes then crashes with error code 0x800705b4. And no, the game was not already previously running, this is every time unless i run it as administrator. i would perfer to rid myself of the error overall but at the very least i want a way to prompt admin every time I open a xbox gamepass app. (image wouldn't load, sorry)

    :)

    Xbox Live Subsription

    Hi There,

    Xbox gold is for console users only, not required for PC. You will need game pass ultimate or gamepass pc to play gamepass games on PC.

    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).

    Xbox game pass pc

    Some of the games on PC are availble on gamepass on Xbox however not all of them such as Age of empires as it requires a mouse and keyboard. Also gamepass for PC is a separate subscription to Gampeass, you would either have to buy another gamepass subscription
    or get Gamepass Ultimate which works both on PC and Xbox

    cannot download games that require administrator permission (from store and xbox pc app)

    Do you have administrator permissions on your PC?
    Some games require additional components to be installed for the game to function properly. Depending on the components being installed, you may be prompted for permission from an administrator during game installation or when the game
    is first launched.

    See
    Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10     for more information.
