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.

    Hello MichaelMcKeehan

    To fix this problem, please do the following.

    RESET THE MICROSOFT STORE APP
    On your keyboard, press the “Win Logo” + “R” keys
    Type: WSReset.exe and press “Enter”
    A black window will pop up
    Wait until the pop up disappears and the Store comes up
    Reboot your computer

    If the problem persists after that, delete the Gaming Services registry keys and reinstall the Gaming Services app via Powershell.

    UNINSTALL AND REINSTALL GAMING SERVICES VIA POWERSHELL
    Right-click the Start button in the lower-left corner of the main screen, and then select Windows PowerShell (Admin).
    In the Administrator: Windows PowerShell screen, type the following command and press Enter:
    Get-AppxPackage gaming.services -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers
    In the same window, type the following commands and press Enter:
    Remove-Item -Path "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServices" -recurse
    Restart your device.
    Right-click the Start button in the lower-left corner of the main screen, and then select Windows PowerShell (Admin).
    In the Administrator: Windows PowerShell screen, type the following command and press Enter:
    start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN
    Install the app on that page, and then select Yes when you receive the User Account Control (UAC) prompt.
    Reboot the computer
    Try to install or launch the game again.
