I'm trying to download Minecraft on my pc through the ms store, and whenever I click get, a UI pops up and says, "You're almost ready to play, to play games on your PC, we need to install some gaming components. You only need to do this once." I click Download nothing happens. I tried downloading a random different game, and it said the same thing.

    Hello there! I am Charity, I'm an Independent Advisor. I'm glad to help you today!

    My apologies about that. Let's Repair or Reset Gaming Services.

    Press Windows + I to open Settings.

    Navigate to Apps > Installed apps.

    Search for Gaming Services.

    Click the three dots next to it and select Advanced options.

    Click Repair. If the issue persists, click Reset.

    Please let me know if this works for you. I'll do my best to respond as soon as possible.

    Kind Regards,

    Charity

    Thank you for the confirmation. Let's try doing a basic troubleshooting first.

    Let's reset the Microsoft Store Cache

    Press Windows + R

    Type: wsreset.exe

    Hit Enter

    This will clear the Store cache and relaunch it.

    If you're still having issues,

    If not, please paste this to any browser, this should launch Gaming services installer via Microsoft Store

    In settings, when I look up Gaming Services it's not there. Is there a way I could download it?
