Microsoft has finally shared a solution for game installation, update, and launch issues plaguing Xbox Game Pass users on Windows 10 for years.
Gamers have reported encountering issues when trying games they got through the Xbox Game Pass video game subscription since at least 2019.
A constant stream of user reports describing this issue can be found in Microsoft's own community [1, 2, 3, 4] and Q&A site, as well as on social platforms like Reddit [1, 2]. "When you try to install or start an Xbox Game Pass game on your Windows 10 device, you may be redirected to the Microsoft Store page for Gaming Services," Microsoft says in a recently published support document.
Customers impacted by this known issue will receive 0x80073D26 or 0x8007139F when installing or launching Xbox Game Pass games on Windows 10 devices.
"You may also see error code 0x00000001 in the Xbox app when you try to install or update a game," Microsoft added.
On Wednesday, Microsoft shared a workaround to help Xbox Game Pass subscribers, which requires deleting Gaming Services registry keys and reinstall the Gaming Services app from their Windows 10 devices.
