Xbox PC keeps redownloading games

mb8055 · Aug 1, 2023

Hey,

I have an issue with the Xbox app on PC. It keep trying to redownload Forza Horizon 5, Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 UWP Desktop Runtime and

the Minecraft Launcher. It was working fine a week ago, but I got a 3.1GB update that got stuck on queued at 40% and ever since then its been completely screwed up. I cannot cancel the updates/downloads, neither can I prioritize the installation. Image of download screen

I'm on a fresh install of Windows 11. I performed a hard system reset less than 2 weeks ago as Forza completely shut down my system and did not let me boot back up other than in safe mode. That is a different issue altogether that's not the focus of this post. Right now, I cant even stop these downloads as it as chewed through my entire 1TB internet plan in less than a day.

My OS specs:

Edition Windows 11 Home Insider Preview
Version 22H2
Installed on ‎28-‎07-‎2023
OS build 23511.1000
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.23511.1000.0

I have all of the latest driver updates, windows and nvidia

Steps ive taken so far:
1. Already on a fresh system install

2. Ran wsreset.exe from Run

3. Reset/Repair Xbox app via Apps and Features

4. Reset/Repair Microsoft Store via Apps and Features

5. Uninstalled and Installed Microsoft Store using Powershell Admin

6. Ran troubleshooters

7. multiple shutdowns and restarts

I'm at my wits end, I just want these downloads to stop please help

:)

Try clearing your cache, and restart your console. Then go to your storage, and delete both of these games then re download them since they became a corrupt file.
