Microsoft Gaminig Services is not working
I have paid for Xbox Live Ultimate, and there are some games that I have been wanting to play on my PC. UNFORTUNANTLY, when I attempt to open them, I get sent to the Microsoft store to download Microsoft Gaming services. There is no button to install, it just says pending.
Upon further investigation, I was able to find it in my list of installed applications and attempted to repair it, with no success
As you can see in the second screenshot there is not an option to un-install. This is a bit frustrating because this is preventing me from using service that I am paying for, with a company that I trust.
If you know of any solutions please let me know.
