Cant download or launch games on the windows 10 xbox app

Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

good night

Microsoft has released an update to correct this issue. To install the update, follow these steps:

Select the Start button in the lower left corner of the main screen and select Settings.

Select Update and Security > Check for Updates.

Select View optional updates, then select update KB5004476 from the list.

KB5004476

Select Download and Install.

When the update is complete, restart the device.

You should now be able to install, update and launch games.

Are you still in trouble?

Create a notepad file with the following name:

"RepairGamingServices.ps1"

inside the file paste this text (if quotes):

"

Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers

Remove-Item -Path "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServices" -recurse

Remove-Item -Path "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServicesNet" -recurse

"

Then, to run, right-click on the file, and run as administrator. then restart windows. then you need to open the Xbox app from Windows 10 that will be warning you that you need to install an extra component for the app, accept and wait for the installation. After that, Microsoft guarantees that you will be able to reopen and download Xbox Game Pass games on Windows 10.

You won't find them on the app. You would need to download the Games for Windows app again, and launch the game from there. Good luck getting the app to work, as many users are stating they can't get it to work on Windows 10 or Windows 11.

Hi Heres a link https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/games-apps/game-setup-and-play/how-to-get-xbox-app

the problem is that i cant download anything with this windows 10. i have my pc updated to windows 1909 but nothing will download.

Do you have Windows 10 on your PC? If so, you just download the Xbox App and sign into your account just as you would on your Xbox. Then you:

• Download the game on Windows 10 PC.
• Connect your Xbox Controller to Windows 10 PC. You can use the same way as you use it on the Console.
• Find the game listing in the Xbox App, and launch it.
• Now you can play the game using the controller, just like you play on the console with same controls.

Hi EdynByfield,

Thanks for your post. I understand you are experiencing an error code 0x80073CF3 when you try to download and launch games. Make sure the game has proper permissions to launch, follow this article to enable administrative permissions:

App Permissions - Windows 10.

I hope this helps.
