So i want to play a game with my friend and he can't install the Gaming Services from the Microsoft store. It says acquiring license than all of the sudden a message that says "Something Happened On Our End. Try Again Later" or something like that. We tried so many things so if you can help it will be great! Thanks!

    The following was posted online and worked for me. I thanked and advised the author.

    Using Terminal as Administrator.

    “get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers”

    "Restart your PC, open PowerShell as admin again, and enter" - restart is VERY IMPORTANT

    Using Terminal as Administrator after restart.

    “start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN” - All done.

    This worked for me. Thank you.

    I have tried doing those steps, a clean start of my computer, but still doesn't work. I have been looking for a solution for a week but none of the official ways to fix it has worked for me.
