Question Unable to install games on Microsoft store

[Julimiro]

I'm having problems installing Minecraft and Forza Horizon from the Microsoft store. I was talking to someone on Microsoft's forums. We got it down to Microsoft Gaming Services not installing correctly. Any help?

Since it might help here is the MS forum post

Have you verified that your Windows files are in good order (DISM and SFC)?

You state being on Windows 11, where did you source the installer for the OS? As for your networking/installer issue, does the same issue crop up with anything else on your platform?

Did that. Didn't help

I had similar problem with Forza, after installing the Xbox companion app, and installing it through there it did install.
Try that.

Upgrade meaning, the internal OS upgrade path? If so, you should do a reinstall of the OS, after creating your bootable USB installer using Windows Media Creation Tools.
