    Microsoft store refusing to work for gamepass games.


    I have had an ongoing, very frustrating issue with Microsoft gamepass and any games I previously downloaded from there. I first realized the issue a few month ago when I tried to download a new game on game pass. When I clicked the download button, the button would change from green to grey, but then nothing would happen. I spent HOURS scrolling through these forums and trying dozens of methods like deleting and reinstalling the store, the xbox app, game services, you name it. I've tried repairing and resetting all of the applications as well. And yes, I have turned my PC off and on again. Now

    :)

  2. Unable to launch many gaming related apps/MS store/gamepass games

    • I am unable to launch game bar on my PC (appears to open but closes instantly) - it WAS working fine a few days ago.
    • I am unable to launch microsoft store on my PC (appears to open but closes instantly) - it WAS working fine a few days ago.
    • I cannot open xbox console companion on windows (appears to open but closes instantly)
    • Many gamepass games won't launch, some say im not logged in (but i obviously am logged into my gamepass account)

      I have tried a number of solutions I found on the internet from simple reinstall to running various command prompt and powershell commands, I have ensured I have folder and file permissions for the microsoft apps folder on this account.

      Because I cannot launch the microsoft store I can't attempt to reinstall some items.

  3. Games with gamepass redirect on store page for the gaming service instead launching games

    As per title, i can't play games with gamepass.
    I recently had other problems installing via gamepass, and solved them with the "wsreset -i" command (suggested here in the forum)

    I've tried already:

    reinstall or reset game services, both from settings / app and from PowerShell

    windows update has no updates

    restore xbox app and store

    Update: deleting with start unlocker all the folders of all my games, and downloading all of them again fixed the problem,

    Gamepass games on PC not working

    I have a valid gamepass ultimate subscription and recently tried to play gamepass games on PC. I downloaded the app and installed Crosscode and The Messenger. When I try to launch the games through the Xbox PC app, the app minimizes and nothing happens.
    When I try to launch the games through the start menu, it just directs me to the Windows Store to download the Xbox App, which shows that I've already downloaded it. Games I have previously downloaded from before the Xbox App came out, such as Forza Horizon
    4, seem to work ok. What can I do to get the newer games working?
