The Xbox app on my PC is acting weird, so I followed a support article on reinstalling Gaming Services. The problem is that its stuck at "Pending Install" and trying to pause or cancel does nothing.

#

did u use powershell?

copper violet Jul 30, 2023, 3:22 PM

#

Yea

pale inlet Jul 30, 2023, 3:23 PM

#

basically after i did powershell to remove and reinstall it i restarted pc. ms store then installed gaming services

#

also what do u mean acting werid

copper violet Jul 30, 2023, 3:24 PM

#

None of my games would start and the side bar wouldnt show my games

#

anytime i tried to install a new one, it would prompt me to install gaming services, even though I already did, and it was updated

#

This happened when restarted the app after trying to install Dishonored because it wouldnt download anything

#

#

is ur xbox app still installed.

copper violet Jul 30, 2023, 3:28 PM

#

pale inlet Jul 30, 2023, 3:29 PM

#

#

try to reinstall the Gaming Services app on your Windows 11 device:

1-Select the Search icon on the taskbar, type powershell, right-click on Windows PowerShell, and then select Run as administrator.

2-In Windows PowerShell, type the following command and press Enter:
get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers

3-In the same window, type the following command and press Enter:
start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

4-Install the app on that page and select Yes when you receive the User Account Control (UAC) prompt.

5-Restart your device and try to install the game again.

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculus that a multi billion dollar company can't make a simple PC launcher. I've always had issues with the app but not this bad.
