Gaming Services Repair Tool Run Results

I have been trying to play a game I purchased but it has to be launched through the Xbox store. When I open the Xbox store it says updates are required but the download keeps failing.

I uninstalled the Xbox app and Gaming Services thinking re-installing them might help, but now I cannot download those either. I keep receiving the same error code 0x80245006 which appears to be some type of server/proxy error..... no idea where this came from. I am definitely not using any kind of server or proxy.

After multiple searches on forums and reddit I have:

  • Power cycled the PC.
  • Disable Real-Time Protection.
  • Uninstalled and Reinstalled the apps using PowerShell as Admin.
  • Run the Gaming Services Repair Tool (screenshot of message is attached here).
  • Running the other built-in app repair tools (including Xbox app & Windows Updates).
  • A few other things... idk I lost count.

Really just want to play the games I have paid for :(
