  1. 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.

    :)

  2. 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?

    • Click on the game and check if you can access the game.

    Unable to Launch Apps or Games from Microsoft Store

    From since last week, I have been unable to get any game or app downloaded from Microsoft Store to launch. Previously they worked but now when I try to run them or launch after a reinstall, the page that should open up briefly appears and disappears in
    the same moment. I have tried several of the suggested fixes that were suggested in the forum but none seem to work.
