Xbox App won't install on my High End Gaming Pc

Hi josh kelly,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum. I understand that you’re having trouble installing the Xbox App on your high-end gaming PC. Let’s get this sorted out together.Here are a few steps to try:

Step 1: Check for Windows Updates

• Go to Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates.
• Install all pending updates, including optional ones. Missing updates often cause installation issues.

Step 2: Reset Microsoft Store

• Open Settings > System > System components.
• Find Microsoft Store, click Advanced Options, then select Repair and Reset.
• Alternatively, press Windows + R, type wsreset.exe, and hit Enter to clear the Store cache.

Step 3: Repair Gaming Services

• Download the official repair tool from https://aka.ms/GamingRepairTool.
• Run the tool and restart your PC after it completes.

Step 4: Create a New Local Account

Sometimes a corrupted user profile can block app installs:

• Go to Settings > Accounts > Other users.
• Click Add account > choose I don't have this person's sign-in information >Add a user without a Microsoft account.
• Enter a username and password > click Next.
• Log in with the new account and try installing the Xbox App again.
