Xbox Game Pass PC App not working? Here are the Fixes
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Xbox Game Pass for PC is kind of awesome, offering a vast library of great games - from indies to new releases - for a reasonable monthly fee. But it also kind of sucks, because it's deeply embedded into Microsoft systems like UWP, WindowsApps and the Microsoft Store. All this stuff means the Xbox app can often crash or not work.
Here we'll show you how to fix the Xbox Game Pass app for PC when it doesn't work.

Gah, damn man. You’re exactly right. They should also add a feature that allows you to maybe stop the video, or just some way that you don’t feel like you have to sit here and watch the whole thing.

It was running perfectly and now it stopped working and i can't get back to Wasteland 3 or Gears Tactics 😭
DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH, i have had issues with playing xbox games and joining parties for months and i have watched videos and even contacted xbox many time and your video fixed it right away with the time/date fix THANK YOU
Will these fixes also solve the infinite loading loop when trying to launch a game on pc through xbox cloud streaming
I have a different issue not mentioned here. After a few hours of gaming my Mouse and Keyboard will suddenly stop responding. I'm doing the Cloud based gaming it will work fine for quite awhile but after some time the game will seemingly crash close out Gamepass and my Mouse and Keyboard are non responsive the only fix is I have to power off my PC for it to be working again...please help
for me when i try open a game it tells me to install some gamer service thing on the Microsoft shop but still wont work the fixes tell me to update my pc but there is none there
Thanks dude. The time/date sync fixed my issues and finally allowed me to install games, after hours of buggering about with regedit and powershell commands. I would encourage anyone having issues to try that first as its such a quick fix

nah you the goat
Everytime I try to start a game from the game pass, my computer crashes and says "your pc ran into a problem :(" is there any way i can fix this?
the Powercell commands fixed this for me. Thank you so much! This has been plaguing me for months. I have spent hours troubleshooting this including multiple forums and videos. Yours is the only one that helped me.
Thank you so much for your help, i'm not sure which one fixed it, but it's working now. Legend.
when i try clicking sign into Microsoft account it just doesn't work
after latest update (march 10th 2023) the app doesn't show nor library games nether the regular images for the games at the Home page. I have tried: reinstalled several times, repair, login-logout several times...nothing seems to work, but yeah: the games are still updating at the Windows Store...can't open any game :(
THIS WAS AWESOME THANKS !!! my whole problem was the time ahaha non of my games would launch untill i fixed that
my issue is that it's not letting me install the app to begin with idk if it takes a while but it hasn't moved at all and its been like 10 minutes
So can I not play a game that I’ve installed from game pass unless I’m connected to the Internet ?
Thanks, changing the date and time fixed my issues
My games work and stuff, but what if the game is too laggy to even turn down the settings? It won't stop loading and it takes 16 seconds just to move my mouse. Please help me
i need help, for some reason my xbox app wont download on my pc and its permanently pending when i try to install it. can you help? i've already tried resetting and repairing the store
6:10 I can't believe that the time zone thing fixed my issue, even when I had it manually set to the correct time zone. Crazy. Thanks a bunch.

ok, here's my problem. the pc game pass is working fine, right? i can download games its slow but it still works. i downloaded MCC this week and I don't have the easy Anti cheat downloaded so i can't play online. BUT here's the kicker i can't figure out how to get it to work with MCC. I've tried a few methods including just straight up downloading it and it still didn't work so how does it work how do i fix this????
Here's another fix that worked for me. Open task manager, Goto the Startup tab. Make sure the Xbox App Services is enabled.

thanks my problem was the time change, it already works
I got this game Guardians of The Galaxy, it will not launch, and it does not have the Manage option on the three dots menu, thus cannot be repaired or uninstalled.
Thats the problem, I can't get signed in lmao no matter what I do, I just got a new PC and now for some reason it's basically just glitched every time I click sign in, it flashes but that's it, I never get the actual option to sign in, I have tried completely reinstalling too, have also gone to command prompt

Thanks a lot mate! My games wouldnt launch or react once i clicked the launch button. the time sync fixed it for me, once i took it on and off on auto time the Anti cheat popped up and fixed the rest. So the problem seemed to be that anti cheat wouldnt launch due to the time auto was disabled.
i singt in to game pass payed subscription . but my account says i dont have game pass , cant download game, stil gives me the option to subscribe ,, can some one help ( pc)
The command in the description is incorrect. Each quotation mark symbol " is doubled up. If you're having issues each time you see a quotation mark doubled just delete one
