    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.

  3. Where are my downloaded Games?

    Hi Brandon,

    Games downloaded from the Microsoft Store website or through the Windows Store app are added in the Xbox app's Game list. To access this, kindly perform the following steps:

    • Select the Start button, then select Xbox.
    • Sign in using the Microsoft account you've used to download the game.
    • Select My games. Games you have on that device will appear there.

    If you can't see the game, it may be because the game was not automatically added on your Game list. To add it, proceed with the steps below:

    • Select the Start button, then select Xbox.
    • Sign in using the Microsoft account you've used to download the game.
    • Select My games.
    • Select Add a game from your PC.
    • You'll see a scrollable list of all Win32 games and programs that have
      Start
      menu shortcuts. From the list, find Solitaire HD and add it to your
      My games menu so you can quickly browse for and launch the game.
    • Once you've selected your choices, select Add selected games at the bottom of the pop-up window.

    Don't forget to notify us with the results. We'd be glad to further assist you.
