Good Day Iqbal20,

The repair install will not affect your files, apps and settings, it will stay the same, it will just repair and replace any corrupted system files, just download tool then run it, choose to Keep your files and apps"

Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.

Good Day Iqbal20,

My name is Carlo, I am also using Windows 10 pc and community member like you. Let us work together to sort this out.

Here's the steps you can try.

-Click Start, type Powershell and run as administrator.
-Copy and paste each the commands below and hit Enter.

get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage –allusers

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

That will open the Gaming Services page in MS Store when you press Enter.
Then click Get to reinstall Game Services.

You should see a progress bar that will be the Windows Store re-registering itself with Windows 10.

Reboot your computer and check.

I hope the information above helps. Please let me know how it goes.
Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.
