For the Windows 11 home, I've tried a lot of things to try and get it back up and going, but nothing is working. My key isn't even a year old.

For the store, my Xbox app wouldn't detect my friends list and when i went to launch a game it couldn't sync my cloud data and said i wasn't signed in even though i was. i tried a lot of things as well for this to work, nothing. the last thing i tried was the app repair and reset which uninstalled it. i tried installing it back and the Microsoft store couldn't do it and would just say error and that you've found an issue and are working on it. and it wasn't just the Xbox app that i couldn't reinstall, it was also the game bar and the gaming services app. i had know issues with the app yesterday either.

I could really use the help.

    Yes, you can go to File Explorer, find the flash drive, then double click to run the Setup.exe file in the drive.

    Choose the install option, and choose to keep files and apps when asked.
