Windows 10: Can't install games through Windows store or xbox app

Hello all,


I'm trying to install The Outer Worlds through xbox game pass.

I know this has worked earlier this week, so it's not an issue of account validity.


I find that when I go to install the game, either through the XBOX app or the Windows Store, the installation almost immediately "completes" (I get a notification that the game has been installed), but the screen on the respective store still displays "Install" as if I never installed it.

The game does not appear when I look under "Add or remove programs".


Any idea how to fix this?

:)

Cannot open Xbox App game bar

Hi Jamie,

Issues with saving your video clips or using the Game bar on Windows 10 are possibly caused by an outdated Xbox app or a corrupted folder on Windows Explorer. To resolve your concern, we suggest that you move your saved video clips to another folder within
the PC. The next saved videos will automatically go to the new folder.

If the issue persists, reset Windows Store to clear the store cache. Then, uninstall and reinstall the Xbox App to manually update it by following the steps below:

To reset Windows Store:

• Press Windows key + X on your keyboard.   
• Click on Command prompt (Admin).   
• Type wsreset.exe, and then hit Enter.   

To update the Xbox App:

• Click Start, and then type Windows PowerShell on the search box.  
• Right-click, and then select Run as administrator.  
• Type the following command to uninstall Xbox app: Get-AppxPackage *xboxapp* | Remove-AppxPackage  
• Hit Enter.  
• Launch Windows Store and download Xbox App.
