  1. Cannot get XBOX Gamepass App to open/uninstall


    About two weeks ago my XBOX app stopped working. It used to be called the XBOX Gamepass Beta but it seems to have recently been updated and is now Called "XBox" and is part of Windows now.
    Clicking to start presents me with the Green XBox loading screen but then it dissapears/nothing happens.
    I've tried to go to Apps & Features to uninstall but get:

    "We couldn't uninstall Xbox. The operation did not complete unsuccessfully. Try again in a bit. The error code is 0x80073cfa, in case you need it."


    I've searched and tried numerous suggestions online but nothing solves the issue.
    This is for Xbox, Version 2010.1001.9.0. Terminate/Reset/Repair has no effect. I've tried Windows Store Apps Cleaner but to remove but get "Failed to remove 'Microsoft.GamingApp'. This package is part of Windows core applications and cannot be uninstalled."

    :)

  2. Want to UNINSTALL XBox

    Hi Kristi,

    Xbox App is one of the built-in applications on Windows 10. To uninstall it from your computer, you have to perform the following steps using the Windows PowerShell:

    • 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.  

    If you are unable to uninstall the app, reset Windows Store to clear the store cache and try to uninstall the Xbox app again.

    Here's how to reset Windows Store:

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

    Keep us updated with the results after performing the suggested solutions above.

  3. Xbox Gamepass Ultimate Perks

    I am a part of a Microsoft family which gives me access to Xbox gamepass ultimate. One of the Xbox gamepass ultimate perks is an ancestral ship set for sea of thieves but someone else in my family already claimed it. Is there any way I can have access
    to it as well or do I need to buy gamepass for myself?
