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.

    Hello Argenis,

    I am Jaspreet Singh.

    Have you made any changes to the location where the new games/apps are installed?

    If yes try changing the selection back to default.

    Click on the start button and open Xbox app.

    Click on your profile picture

    Click on settings

    Click on general in left hand side.

    On right hand side change the location where “ this app downloads games by default”

    Save the selection and restart your system.

    Check if you still get the error.

    Can you check the second picture I uploaded? You can see that there's nothing for me to choose, it doesn't let me change the location at all cause I can't click on anything.

    I am sorry for missing that. It looks like there is an issue with the OS itself.

    Please run this scan: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/usi...

    Note the results that show up after the 100% mark and make sure you restart your system after the scan.
