the other day half of my games wernt showing up on the xbox app but they were still installed on my pc but i couldnt play them. Then the games that still were there started taking me to gaming services and i have been trying for hours over the past 2 days trying to fix it. The powershell commands wont work and nothing else will either. Now all the rest of the games that were there are gone too exept for 1, idk why that 1 is still there but it doesnt matter bc it still doesnt work. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME
I've been ready to pull my hair out over this for several days. every guide was like "just go to the store and install gaming services" BUT THE BUTTON WASN'T THERE! Finally thanks to this video I went into the Insider app and it was actually joining the beta that worked for me. the install button reappeared and now we are gaming!
I had this issue once and couldn't fix it with these method's. Have installed Windows 11 and 2 days later problem happened again. I thought what did I change? Wait! in the Xbox Game app under general I unchecked the start app on boot box. That's exactly what I did also when the problem occured the first time. I checked it again and also checked start app in the background. Rebooted my PC. Now Xbox App is working again without starting Microsoft services in the Microsoft store when starting a game.
I did power commands and now my store wont even lauch... Ive tried the command to open it but it says it failed, went to settings and did all the jazz there but nothin
hey when i check services (after doing the scripts ) the gaming services are not there but when I go on microsoft store to download it its no download button i think its still downloaded not sure.can you please help me out
thank you so dam much ...i have been going on and on and on about so many videos about this particular issue and i am finnaly able to install the games and play with my friends ....!!!!! thank you very dam much !!! T_T , months of this stupid suffering problem resolve
I got a "cannot find path" error when running the command:" Remove-Item -Path "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServices" -recurse " along with the next one after that. How do I fix this?
If anyone else gets this error just continue into the next step of going to the store and hitting “get” on gaming services. Regardless of the error it still worked for me
BROTHER! IT WORKED! I just did the 2:15 part After typing in those and rebooting my device, error code shows up and it was 0x87e00196, basically the error means to re-install the Gaming service, it gave me a way again to type in powershell this code, Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers After that I clicked on a game I want to install, it prompted again to download gaming services, I clicked download, NOW IT WORKS! IT downloaded and my game is installing It even found my previously downloaded games too, unlike before it was just hidden or not appearing from the application. Again thanks Mike! PS: Saw ur pewdiepie reference anyways LEGIT Vid fix Thanks! WORKED! GGWP!
Thank you so much for the comment and update! It’s very much appreciated. I’m glad the video helped you out and that someone gets my random references. 😅 Comments like this make my day for real.
Not all Heros wear capes. To the point and clear instructions. Writing out the Power shell commands for a copy and paste was some Giga Chad shit. Thank you!
It doesn‘t work for me. After i pressed enter, another ‚Psc windows system 32‘ popped up. Then I left clicked and a whole new code of red letters was created. Can anyone help.
@@MikeTheTech Thanks for your reply. It's so broken. I've decided xboxapp isn't worth the stress I'm having with it (so many things not working). I uninstalled it for now to save my sanity. The only thing I think will fix it is reinstalling Windows and I don't intend to do that right now. Thanks anyway.
I tried to follow through the guide and reinstalled Gaming Services, but for some reason it didn't showed up on my Service system. its like Gaming services didn't run at all. I need some help please >.
didnt help still the same error in Services it now says Error 1058: The specified service cannot be started. It is disabled or not connected to enabled devices
I found a fix for people who did all these steps and still get brought back to gaming services. Close the xbox app and open up services and stop both gaming services and open back up the xbox app then play the game that wasn't working and if you see it opens and no content is installed then IT WORKED, don't close the game and open back up services and restart both gaming services and it will automatically restart your game. For someone who gets 3mbps download, downloading a game like halo infinite takes a week and this bug has happened to me at least 3 times now (I have lost all sanity)
For the people who still can't open the game, try the above method on a different game first (one that's working perfectly fine) then after, start up the game that isn't working.
Thank you! The PowerShell commands finally worked for me! It was happening with Halo Infinite, and if anyone's curious, it does not lose any game save content.
1:16 it wasnt running to begin with and when I clicked start "Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified" I have never been in such enraged rut that not even reddit could fix my problems.
This guy is legit, I've tried fixing the gaming services bug where it wont install/download and or will always fail to download at 99% using every method online from google and other youtubers which came to no avail. This video solved my issue on the first attempt. I was unable to fix my problem for a year until I found this video. Thanks
Guys I had the same problem I couldn’t open Minecraft launcher I couldn’t get into my games I couldn’t install Minecraft so what I did was went to windows settings clicked installed apps, searched for gaming services and went to background permissions and click the 2nd option which is “ power optimized (recommended)” and I got everything back I got to install Minecraft again and I can finally play again Hope this helps to some of you all
I still cant fix this. I've tried all the commands, reinstalled the MS, Xbox app and the god damn Gaming Services, I simply cant update the thing so I cant play use Game Pass properly.
Tried everything everyone mentioned...and still nothing works. In fact, I restarted game services...nothing...removed it..reinstalled it...and now it won't install. This is worse than the red ring. LOL🤣
i did put the commands on windows powershell by running it as administrator, but when i select on download "game services" on microsoft store it says "an error has been occured and the error code i get is 0x80070490. please help if you can... and my xbox is not even opening at the first place showing the same error
So I tried restarting the gaming services, however both of them arent running like in the video. If i try to start the one that isnt running it give me a 1060 error code. Anyone else have this issue before? Now downloading the insider hub, but idk if it will work or not. I have done all of the powershell commands, made sure every drivers were up to date as well as my os.
(I don't recommend what I'm about to say because I don't know much tech) but I just flat out downgraded to windows 11 and the problem went away I could download and play games normally
Hi. Idk if u can help me but only 1 of two gaming services is running. When i try to start the other one it says its not a installed services? You have any ideas? Thanks
My gaming services is already downloaded but it says I need to download it. It also won't let me change the download location or enable downloads/updates during gameplay
have done all of these multiple times. service is installed. pc says it's just been modifed but the store says it haven't been modified the past month. don't get a update button anymore and service won't even run
I do not understand anything about these powershell commands but for me it was the removal of the gamingservicesnet item path that fixed the problem. thank u very much
xbox on windows is a scam and i'm pretty fckin close to suing them for it. ps: great. now instead of just the games not opening, the xbox app stopped working too. no, perfect, i'd love reinstalling windows for a 6th time
you think reinstalling windows for the 6th time is bad it's 20 time worse for me since every windows install always has 1 big issue that causes me to reinstall rinse and repeat. i'm freaking sick of it i've had to reinstall windows over 20 damn times because of these damn issues.
When I tried to do the power shell commands I got an error message that said cannot find path, but it still ended up working and I can now play back 4 blood again.
it keeps on saying "item not found" and this whole command line in red highlight when i put in the second line of code, and when i press enter it just opens a new line
thank you so much! I found out that my friend disabled my gaming services and wasnt sure how to turn it back on, so i followed ur steps and u saved my microsoft store!
One of my gaming services seems to completely just not exist and I'm pretty sure it got corrupted somehow... in services when I try to run it it just says it doesn't exist. I've tried reinstalling it using PowerShell and nothing has worked this happened to me yesterday after running Forza Horizon 5 then restarting my pc after I quit the game properly I didn't do anything out of the normal. When I restarted it started to send me to the Gaming Services thing now I can't play anything from the xbox/ms store games its awesome I wish I could find something that would fix this......

powershell worked for me
(how does Microsoft screw things up so bad)
Great to hear it worked for ya!
This didn't work. I just get red text saying it can't find anything to delete.
There are multiple steps. If the uninstall script doesn’t find anything, it means it’s already uninstalled. So you go to the next step and install it.
