Xbox Services Are Missing In My Services App.

Hello, Smikkelbeer_589,

Thank you for confirming this for me. Let's go ahead and try this. I need you to use your phone to provide a mobile hot spot to your device and then try to sign in. I still want to rule out and see if something within your network might be inferring with the sign-in process. Also, try to update the app via the Windows Store and see if a new update prompts.

Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files. If some Windows functions aren't working or Windows crashes, use the System File Checker to scan Windows and restore your files. Sometimes corrupted files can cause issues.

How to set up a Personal Hotspot on your iPhone or iPad

A Personal Hotspot lets you share your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) when you don't have access to a Wi-Fi network.

Share a mobile connection by hotspot or tethering on Android

You can use your phone's mobile data to connect another phone, tablet, or computer to the internet. Sharing a connection this way is called tethering or using a hotspot. Some phones can share a Wi-Fi connection by tethering.

Thank you,

> I recently installed a stripped down version of windows 11 which removed these services

I do not recommend using customised Windows installations for this reason (and many more, such as privacy and security concerns). They typically remove important apps and services and break functionality. The theoretical performance gain is not worth the hassle when things break (which they do a lot more often on custom installs) and potential security risk.

I'm afraid we cannot provide support if you are using a modified version of Windows; I suggest reinstalling Windows 11 using the ISO directly from Microsoft, this will solve your problem.

Thanks,
Kyle

Hi L4c3rd4

Thanks for that, not sure why I didn't think of this myself but:

"Go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.

After that, click repair and then restore, open the app and try again.

Then do the same for the Xbox app:

Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.

After that, click repair and then restore, open the app and try again."

resolved my issue.

Many thanks
