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.

Previously nothing I tried to install went through, and after i went through all the trouble to get myself a new controller to play Wo Long too, suddenly it didn't want to start. You, sir, saved me from rage-quitting on my newly-bought controller.

Now when you alt+ctrl+del and go for services "Gaming Services" and "Gaming Services Net" is running, before that only Gaming Services Net was working and other one not. Even forcing him to launch didn't worked.
