  1. The Xbox store on my PC has taken up storage for a game that failed to install


    I tried to download a game on my PC through the Xbox store after the clearing the necessary space for it but halfway through the download stopped so I cancelled it and tried again but it said that I had insufficient space on my computers storage and the taken up space matches the amount for the game I did not install. I looked through the installed games I had on my PC and cleared all of it from the x box store but it still will not reduce the amount of storage used by the uninstalled game

  2. Xbox Game Pass for PC - Compatibility Issue with Gaming Computers

    Hey fellow Microsoft community members,

    I'm encountering a compatibility issue between Xbox Game Pass for PC and my gaming computer, and I'm seeking your assistance to resolve it. Here are the specifics:

    2. System Configuration:-
    • Operating System: Windows 10
    • Processor: Intel Core i7-10700K
    • Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (10 GB VRAM)
    • RAM: 16 GB DDR4
    • Storage: 1 TB NVMe SSD
    • Error Messages: When attempting to launch certain games from Xbox Game Pass for PC, I encounter error messages such as "Error code XYZ" or "Game crashes upon startup."
    3. Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

    • Updated Windows 10 to the latest version.
    • Ensured that graphics card drivers are up to date.

  3. Windows Store (Xbox Game Pass for PC (beta))

    Recently purchased Xbox Game Pass for PC (beta) and can not download certain games that are included in the pass. When viewing some games in the Windows Store and placing the mouse over the install button it will show a red X and will have no response when
    clicked. Other games have been downloaded with no issue. I have already tried WSreset.exe and have 200gb of free storage space for downloads.

    Any suggestions for fixes or troubleshooting would be much appreciated.

  4. The Xbox store on my PC has taken up storage for a game that failed to install

    Log-in Failed in Xbox in Asphalt 8 Airborne Game

    According to your questions,

    • I have 2 games, and there one is a shooting game, there also saying that "Play as guest as we can't sign you in". Another one is the Asphalt 8.
    • Yes, I have signed in successfully in my Xbox app but I can't sign-in in the game.
    • I have not taken any troubleshooting steps.

    By Resetting the Windows store, should I have to again download and install the game?

    Also, by resetting my game, should I have to again download and install the game?

    Because my game's download size is approximately 4 GB, and it would be very difficult to download and install the game.

    Please give the answers which I have asked above.

    Then it might help me.
