I had this exact problem and had no luck going through Xbox uninstall/reinstall cycles and reset+repair. What finally did it for me was to follow the Windows 11 repair in place.
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.

2023-09-24T17:27:26+00:00 Hi all, had this problem too and seemed to have found a fix at least for my case.
Go to add or remove programs, search for gaming services, go to advance options, press on terminate, then repair, then reset.
Do the same for the Xbox app, and Xbox live app.
Re open the Xbox app, log in and should it work.
Good luck
This right here worked for me. Thank you!
