User Info: betatech. Is there an error message? Anyone know how to fix this? User Info: sfcalimari. I've been having all kinds of problems lately with installing or updating Xbox Gamepass games on pc. I had gamepass a few months ago and had zero problems.
I unsubscribed for a few months because there weren't any games I wanted to play, then I resubscribed about a week ago because they added a bunch of new games. After a couple of minutes I get an error message saying something like "the service could not be accessed.
Either I get an error message or nothing happens when I click "install. A lot of people recommended using a VPN to download games. But this sucks because download speeds on the VPN are really slow. However, State of Decay 2, which I've owned for years outside of Gamepass, would just not install at all.
Consider this. It will begin the download and then stop halfway when it runs out of space. Well, you know what to do now. It is known to help with drive related errors. Open Settings again and click on Storage. This is where you can change your default download location, often C: drive, to a different drive.
You can troubleshoot a lot of built-in features and apps. This will also help with the store itself, as it is also an app.
Follow on-screen instructions after this. You can also Find and fix network problems if you are facing it, using troubleshoot. Another troubleshoot you should run is Windows Update which is closely related with Microsoft Store.
Search for Find and fix problems with Windows Update. Run an antivirus scan to make sure that your computer is not infected. It can not only steal your data but also break apps and system settings. Click on Run as administrator to run this command. Click Yes if you are asked to give admin rights. You will see the Command Prompt launch briefly. This will clear Microsoft Store cache. You may have to sign back in.
Do it and see if it fixes Microsoft Store not downloading apps or games error. It is not required but I would recommend a reboot at this point. Check if app or games download are still pending or stuck in Microsoft Store. There may be an app conflict which is responsible for Microsoft Store not downloading apps or games. Try both these methods to see if you can find the culprit. Enter the command below to re-register Microsoft Store on your computer.
It's just a kick in the pants when then game I want to play shows up grey for no reason. Windows is 30 years of cruft. Nice that they've made a strong effort to maintain a fairly high level of compatibility for old software looking at you, Apple , but it's a helluva code legacy to maintain and the variety of ways it can break is The problem I was having was similar to the uninstall issues above but ironically it was the Windows Store that helped me solve it.
At some point I had cancelled an install midway through of a game, or something happened to it, and the icon was always showing up in my App.
Choosing uninstall would fail and I could never get rid of it. Turns out the solution to this particular problem was to go into the Windows Store, go to the updates tab and then find that specific game there and let it "update" which essentially meant re-download. After it did that I was able to uninstall it cleanly from the Game Pass app. On the topic of the app itself - I didn't have a problem with it by itself but I am perplexed by their decision to combine it with the Xbox Companion App which was actually a pretty good one-stop-shop for your Achievements, profile, friends list etc.
Now the Companion App has this huge annoying banner letting you know it's being discontinued and getting rolled into the Game Pass app, but they didn't transfer over even half of the features. Microsoft is very weird about coming up with things and then discontinuing them. I haven't had these issues but sometimes when I launch the app its just blank like its loading in stuff but basically never does. If i restart it can fix the issue but its a crap shoot.
I ran into this yesterday when I did a clean Windows install. All my Xbox App games were on my D drive. Even after doing all the required permission changes and more. I tried several different solutions I found , the Xbox app still wouldn't let me install to the D drive nor would it recognize that I had games installed.
I even went as far as moving all my games out of the WindowsApps folder, deleting the folder, letting the Xbox app remake the folder, doing the permission stuff again, moving the games back in, and deleting the AppData cache which should technically have made the Xbox app rescan that folder and find all my games.
