Windows 10: Incapable of downloading nearly every game on the Microsoft Store/Xbox app.

Yesterday I had bought a game pass ultimate membership so I could get access to the games the pc version holds. Only thing is, it appears that the app won't let me download almost every game on the app. I tried everything, googling a bunch of different questions to no avail, reset the cache for the store, restarted my computer, reset my computer, and not a thing worked. It always says "Oops, something unexpected happened" with the error code 0x00000001. The only games that have worked of which I tried are, Sea of Thieves, Astroneer, FNAF 2, Bridge Constructer Portal, and Forager.

My PC Specifications are

• Windows 10 Home
• 10.0.19042 Build 19042
• HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 16-a0xxx
• x64 bit
• IntelR CoreTM i5-10300H CPU
• 8GB RAM

In case you need them.

Unable to download certain games on Xbox App or Microsoft games store

Hi there,

I am trying to download No Man's Sky onto my computer via both the microsoft and xbox gaming app. I am able to download other games (Sea of Theives, Moonlighter) with no issue, but others (such as no mans sky) either do nothing (when trying in microsoft
app) or Error code 0x00000001 (Xbox store).

Steps I have done to troubleshoot:

1. Uninstalled and reinstalled both stores

2. Reparied and reset both apps from apps settings

3. Uninstalled Xbox app and tried to download from microsoft store

4. Went into services and ensured all xbox services are running

- I have 2 instances of Gaming services. One is running and the other gives error code 31 when trying to start it

5. I have reset gaming services and the app downloader from settings

6. I have restarted my pc many times

7. I have fully updated windows

8. I have peformed a repair install of windows

Nothing works. All other forms and questions I have seen only seem to generate the generic responses of

1. Restart your PC

2. Reset the app

3. Update windows

4. Repair install

I have followed all of these steps and still cannot properly access services. Can you please suggest any other approaches to fixing this error?

Many thanks,

Aaron

How to find games I've downloaded from Microsoft Store (Windows 10)


If they are xbox app games they are listed and can be launched via the xbox app.

For a list of all your downloaded app games, click the store app, click your account photo on the upper right of your screen and click "my library", all your game downloads will be there, you can then click on a game and then click open to play it.
