  1. "You have to install the app for this"


    I believe my son has installed the latest update on his Xbox one. He can play games but every app he tries to launch the message "You have to install the app for this" is displayed. Have tired hard power off and have left overnight but problem persists.
    Am unable to do a factory reset as cannot access settings. Tool bar on the left is displayed but no matter what we do cannot access and features on that toolbar. Is there another way to perform a factory reset or is this a job for a repair centre?

    Thanks in advance

    :)

    Hey there, TTL Killer! I'm very sorry to see that you are getting this error as well. If doing a power cycle does not help for you, I suggest

    resetting your console to factory defaults
    . This thread is a bit old. If you need further assistance after a factory reset, please post up a new thread detailing what you're running into and troubleshooting you've completed. This way our community can get
    you the individual support that works best on the forums. "You have to install the app for this" :)

    Hi there,

    since you can't access settings please try the steps on this link:
    support.xbox.com/.../offline-system-update-diagnostic-tool


    and check out this section:

    "If the console is experiencing an issue that would require you to Restore Factory Defaults after a system update, but you're unable to access the Settings hub, use this file.

    Warning Restoring your console to the factory default settings erases all accounts, apps, games, saved games, and settings. Anything not synchronized with Xbox Live will be lost. Your console syncs with Xbox Live automatically when it’s connected with the
    service.

    "

    Let us know the results
     
  5. Hi WPAK,

    Thank you for this. I have followed the instructions you provided and have inserted the memory stick (containing unzipped file) into a USB port. However no matter how many times I tried I am unable to get the two start up beeps at power on by holding both
    the bind and eject button for fifteen seconds. The xbox one just continues to boot as normal.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Just to be sure, did you unzip/extract de content of the zip file and copied to the root folder on the usb?

    And the usb device was formatted prior to moving the content to the usb flash drive?

    EA play with xbox game pass for pc not working

    Do you have the EA Play app installed on your PC, and the extension turned on, in the Xbox app settings? Make sure you have these, otherwise, you won't be able to download and install the games from EA Play. Same also applies for Ubisoft games too. You need the Ubisoft Connect app installed to install any Ubisoft game from the Xbox app.

    Blu Ray Player

    You have to have the Blue Ray app installed to watch blue ray movies. If you have it installed and they don't work, first try a hard reboot, if it still doesn't work uninstall the app and re-install it.
