Step by Step

Full Walkthrough — Exact Steps

Follow these steps in order. Each one matters — skip or rush at your own risk. I've tested every step personally.

  1. 1
    Sign in with the correct Microsoft account

    Open Microsoft Store and the Xbox app and confirm both use the SAME account that owns the game or Game Pass. A mismatch is the #1 cause.

  2. 2
    Reset the Microsoft Store cache

    Press Win+R, type wsreset.exe, and press Enter. A blank window appears, then the Store reopens — the cache is cleared.

  3. 3
    Repair or reset Gaming Services

    Settings > Apps > Installed apps > Gaming Services > Advanced options. Click Repair, then Reset if needed. This fixes many Xbox/Game Pass install errors.

  4. 4
    Check your Game Pass subscription and catalog

    Go to account.microsoft.com/services. If Game Pass lapsed, renew it. Also note games rotate out of the catalog — a removed title must be bought to keep playing.

  5. 5
    Repair or reset the Microsoft Store app

    Settings > Apps > Microsoft Store > Advanced options > Repair, then Reset. Reopen and sign in again.

  6. 6
    Check date/time and region

    Settings > Time & language: enable "Set time automatically" and confirm your Region is correct — licensing relies on system time.

  7. 7
    Restart Xbox services

    services.msc: restart Xbox Live Auth Manager, Xbox Live Game Save, and Xbox Live Networking Service, then retry.
