Windows 10: Xbox Game Pass PC game always opens gaming services on Microsoft Store when trying to launch it

I have had an issue that has persisted for a few days now, and it is really starting to get on my nerves. Whenever I try to launch a certain Xbox Game Pass PC game, it will redirect me to the Gaming Services app from the Microsoft Store. This only happens when I restart my computer, and I can fix the issue by uninstalling then reinstalling Gaming Services. However, this happens every time I try to launch the game after restarting or shutting down and turning on my PC. I think it might have to do with how I installed the game because I installed it on another Windows account and to save the hassle of installing it again, I just copied and pasted the game from that account to my account. At first, it worked fine, but now this issue happens all time. Now, I could just keep uninstalling and reinstalling but it is very annoying to have to do it all the time. Does anyone know how to fix this permanently?

Can't launch games from Xbox game pass for PC

I have Xbox game pass ultimate, and I can download games from game pass. But when I try to launch the games, it says that they are unavailable in my account. The account with game pass is signed in to both the windows store and the Xbox (Beta) app, so
I have no idea what is going wrong.

 

Xbox Game Pass (PC) Issues -- Gaming Services

Hello,

I've been trying to get The Outer Worlds and other games to work (via Game Pass for PC), but when I try to launch them, they take me to the page for
Gaming Services as if I have to install it. However, it says "This product is installed" but to the right it says "Install
on my devices". I'm stuck in a loop. It won't fix and I can't launch my games.

I have tried:

* Resetting the Windows Store App (via powershell command)

* Reinstalling the Windows Store App (via powershell command)

* Removing Developer Mode (via powershell command and through settings)

* running a scan to check for filesystem damages

* Removing Gaming Services + reinstalling (via powershell command)

* Trying to launch games through the Store and the Xbox Companion App

* Rebooting and shutting down PC

* Troubleshooting the Windows Store App

* Reinstall the game in question + reinstall to a separate hard drive

* Update Windows (no more visible updates)

* Update GPU drivers to latest

Anyone know why my games won't launch and why they take me to this screen? It is driving me insane!

Thanks~

 

Microsoft store game pass and Xbox game pass (Beta)

So I have 'game pass' for the Microsoft store that allows me to download and play the pretty much the same games that are on 'Xbox game' pass (Beta) but for some reason the beta app asks me to subscribe/pay again for the for the Xbox game pass (Beta).
Surely if I have paid £7.99 for the Microsoft store version I should get access to the Beta version? They are both called 'Xbox game pass'. Any help?
