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!

    Gaming services installation failure is relative straightforward now:

    Close the Xbox app (not minimised in taskbar)

    Open up the Powershell in Admin mode and type in the three lines:

    Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers <Enter>

    Remove-Item -Path "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServices" -recurse <Enter>

    Remove-Item -Path "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServicesNet" -recurse <Enter>

    Reboot pc.

    Reinstall gaming services via the powershell:

    start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

    I'd even go to say this may not even be needed. For a while now purely having the xbox app completely closed, any gaming services error i've gotten rights itself after a retry.

    Regarding the "Something happened at our end..." error, I haven't worked out the cause for this one yet. I'm sure it won't require going so low as require a OS reinstall. I never go that far.
