Xbox App keeps asking me to download Gaming Services

I just got Game Pass a few days ago and haven't been able to play it once because every single time I hit on Install a screen telling me to Download Gaming Services keeps popping up even though I've already installed it numerous times. I'm turning to this because I have no idea what to do, I've already tried a bunch of different suggestions from people such as: Repairing and Reseting all the apps, I've tried to uninstall and install with Powershell, I've tried to update through the windows store, I've updated everything on Windows, I tried going into the registry and I deleted the GamingServices and GamingServices.net but Nothing works at all, I've completely given up on this, I feel scammed because I just got Game Pass and I haven't been to play a single game.

One weird thing I noticed and I don't know if this is normal is that when I go over to my account settings on the Xbox App on the segment where it says "GameInstall Options" I get some weird error that says "There was a problem loading installation locations. Try Again" But it never gives me that chance to change anything.

like that

GUYS I HAVE THE FINAL SOLUTION.

for repair this **** you have to do the next steps: Go to config and Repair and restore Xbox, Xbox game bar and Xbox live

the next step: put in the searcher: registry editor and search: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SYSTEM - CURRENTCONTROLSET- SERVICES. and there you have to find GamingServices and gamingservicesnet . delete this folders. Then restart your pc. After you have to look where is your xboxgames folder. mine is on C:XboxGames. IMPORTANT: YOU COULDN'T DELETE THIS FOLDER OR CUT. SO WHAT U HAVE TO DO IS CHANGE THE NAME FOR ANYTHING ELSE AND THEN CREATE A NEW FOLDER WITH THE NAME :XboxGames.

After the following steps you can open your Xbox and reinstalate everything. It should work without problems. I spent like 3 days to make it work so i hope i help all of you.

You can give the thanks later guys.

THIS IS THE ONE! I tried EVERYTHING above and nothing worked, but doing this whole renaming the folder thing fixed it ! ^ Thank you sooo so much!

(sidenote: I read somewhere also that Vanguard from Riot Games messes w/ the xbox app, so I uninstalled it as well incase this might be an issue for someone else)

This is the way.

Hi all! I've finally found a solution that fixes the xbox game pass app! All you need to do is download to the windows media creation tool from MS, run it and select "update this pc" it will basically reinstall windows without removing any of your apps/settings etc. it will take a little time to run but after I ran it and rebooted my PC, I opened the game pass app up and all my games were detected again and I could run and download new games again! No errors or endless cycles of asking me to install Gaming Services it just works again! I'm not sure what caused the issue or why it happened in the first place, but this fix 100% worked for me so I would suggest you guys give it a go for yourself.

I'm running Win10Pro so I'm not sure if this works for Win11, just give it a try! I still can't believe a multi-billion dollar company like MS can't make a solid and stable app and one that once broken requires you to completely reset your PC for it to work again?!

I have the same issue. I talked to 6 different microsoft support with no help. I've tried every fix I can find online and I can't get it to work
