Xbox App not updating or installing on Windows 11

I am also having this issue for the third time this year. XBox app will open for a second and then crash and close. MS Store says it needs an update and says there's a problem on Microsoft's end. Not very helpful at all. I get this code 0x80070057 as well which if you do a search on it goes down an entire different rabbit hole. I did so many steps last time I honestly forget what fixed it in the end. I feel like certain windows updates breaks the Xbox APP. I would highly suggest that Microsoft makes a standalone exe app much like Steam's that's not vulnerable to the MS Stores lack of reliability. I too feel like I may need to cancel my GamesPass sub as this is a waste of time and money.

Managed to get the Xbox App to install, I followed the following, I hope it works for you, follow it to the letter:

"Please try changing your Region to United States if it helps.

Please let me know if you have tried the methods below.

**Reset the Microsoft Store cache
Press the Windows Logo Key + R to open the Run dialog box, type wsreset.exe, and then select OK.

Note:
A blank Command Prompt window will open, and after about ten seconds the window will close and Microsoft Store will open automatically.

**Check the Microsoft Store Install Service
Press the Windows Key + S and type in services.msc.

If disabled, change it to Automatic, click Start and click OK.

Run SFC

1. Open the Start menu and search for "Command Prompt" or "CMD."Right-click on it and select "Run as admin.
2. Open command prompt with administrator access
3. Type each command below and wait until the scan is completed.

SFC /scannow

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

If none steps helped, try to reinstall the MS Store.

Right-click on the Windows icon at the bottom of the screen and click on “Windows PowerShell (Admin).” Type the command mentioned below and press Enter.

Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Please let me know the result. Thank you.

I tried resetting ms-store, repairing it, repairing system files etc. (sfc, DSIM), in-place upgrade, hard-format but what solved my issue was:

• Press the Windows Key
• Search for "View Network Connections" and open it.
• Right click on the connection you are using, and press properties.
• Scroll down to "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)" uncheck it, and press ok.
• Restart the PC / Retry any game install.

It’s been FIXED people. The servers are back and a bunch of Apps got updated along the ones that were pending.

Hope you all can resolve this now.
