How did you do this? I never have issues with Windows Update but trying to update to 1903 has failed and spit out an error even after Googling a bunch of possible solutions. I recently migrated to an NVME ssd so I hope it's not related to that.
Thanks for that tip. Seems it should be default at 100 and you can limit it yourself.
So far, few issues with Gamepass. However, I'm trying to get Forza Horizon 4 to run properly and I'm having no luck. Every time I try to run Benchmark mode, the game crashes. Any of y'all got any advice for this issue?
My Gold was going to expire in two weeks, so I needed to renew it anyways. I just saved $540. I already bought the gold subs months ago. I still have one left lol.
Noticed there was a new update for the Xbox app on the windows store, just downloaded it.
Anyone who has been having problems might want to check it out and see if it fixes anything.

You need to have codes to redeem already. I had four Gold codes to redeem. Just redeemed three of them, one after the other. They stacked.
So I posted this in the Game Pass thread, but this seems a more appropriate place.
This has been a complete pain in the ass for me. downloaded Void Bastards, Slay the Spire and Banner Saga. Void Bastards and Slay the Spire give me an error when I try to launch them that looks like this:
I'm now trying to download Wargroove and it won't let me even download it. I'm completely up to date on my PC. Tried another game and got the same problem, just gives me the error code that everyone seems to be getting for Metro. I tried bypassing the app and just going straight to the store, but it still gives me the same error (Code: 0x80070005). For whatever reason, Banner Saga works fine.

Tried downloading Gears Ultimate Edition and it errored out after 5GB's and then started from the beginning
I can't even imagine trying to download Gears 4 at 130GB's

Finally got around to trying this too, no such luck. Same shit. I think there's probably just one solution if I want to play Gamepass games on my PC: reinstall Windows. The dumbest shit.
good to know that they put a fancy new coat of paint onto the dumpster windows store without improving any of the underlying experience at all
If you do decide to go this way, like I did, you at least dont need a clean install, you can keep your documents.
I'd hold off if that's yer main jam. Between major problems with Metroi and what looks like them uploading the Xbox One version of Operencia (no resolution options at all) the ports are...not in great shape.
Someone at corporate Microsoft is grinning wildly, rubbing his hands together while whispering "yesss yesssss" 🤣
In my experience with the Windows Store, if a download is stuck it's an account issue. You'll usually find that if you disconnect your Microsoft account (turning it into a local account) then log in another user and connect your Microsoft account to that, it will download. Obviously not a great fix, but the alternative can be to reinstall Windows...so making a second account is the lesser of two evils. Welcome to the Windows Store.
totally. It absolutely worked. Iam getting a Scarlett next year 100%. Also a Ps5.
Do you get an error code when it fails ? If so, it may be worth posting it on the Microsoft support page or an unofficial site such as tenforums.com to see if someone there can assist further.
I never could get the so to finish. Kept on going up to 7 hours and it's only a 2.5gb file. Tried several tips like registry and windows settings and nothing :(
I'm currently pursuing the issue on answers.microsoft.com with a very helpful poster. Fingers crossed we manage to get it sorted.
Zero problems with Metro here. Looks amazing with RTX as well.
So Metro Exodus still doesn't work (Sign in issue) and now that I decided to try Forza Horizon 4, it just instantly goes away once a window even pops up lol
I guess the one positive is this means the $5 during the beta will go longer since this seems pretty bad so far on my end at least.

Great. If you do manage to sort it out, do post the solution here. I'm sure it may come in useful to others and maybe myself one day when I perform the update :)
After a couple hours, I finally got game pass working. It was quite an adventure:
1.) After subscribing for $1, I tried downloading a couple games from the Microsoft store app -- it let me download and run these games, but there was obviously some sort of DRM / verification problem since they all refused to play (for example, ReCore would be stuck at the title screen even after pressing "start" or "A", others just refused to load or similarly soft locked at the title screens).
2.) Ok, I'll try the Xbox beta app. Oh wait, it won't let me install because I'm not running 1903. Let's spend half an hour updating Windows, manually, because apparently some AMD RAID nvme driver doesn't work in 1903, and that disqualifies my computer from updating via the Windows Update settings even though I'm not using any RAID setup with my drives. I am forced to update via the Windows media creation tool.
3.) Windows is now updated and my start button / menu refuses to work at all. Apparently because I "debloated" my Windows 10 install previously by removing unwanted App packages, this broke 1903. After some App package management via powershell to re-add Cortana and the "Shell Experience Host", we have a fixed start menu. Google also tells me that even things like corrupted/broken App tiles can completely ruin the start menu. Like, WTF, Microsoft?
4.) Ok, let's get the Xbox Beta app. Huh, I can't sign in at all. Blank page.
5.) Google tells me to download the "Xbox console companion" app, sign into that, and it will magically sign me in on the Xbox beta app. Ok, the Xbox console companion app is spitting out an error 0x406 at me and won't let me sign in either.
6.) More Google tells me that error 0x406 is occurring because I don't have the "Xbox Identity Provider" app installed.
7.) Lo and behold, installing the identify provider fixes the sign in problem with the console companion app (but not the beta app).
8.) After signing in to the console companion app and manually restarting the xbox beta app, we are finally signed in and able to download gamepass stuff. I still can't sign into the Xbox beta app without using the companion app as a proxy. Lol.
9.) Apparently the "Press Enter to Start" issue on ReCore was the game attempting me to log into my Microsoft account, which for some reason failed when downloading it from the MS Store but not this Xbox app. A suitably janky DRM system to go with my janky install experience.
Now, if I wasn't technically inclined and didn't have some sys admin experience, this shit would've made me give up. Getting Gamepass to work on PC has been like pulling teeth. I sincerely hope the final release out of beta streamlines some of this stuff.
That was cathartic. End rant.

Question. I cannot for the life of me find the end of my breakaway cable for my 360 controller. I wanted to use that since it would be much more easily compatible but alas I cannot find it. So is it easy enough to use a Dualshock 4 or something with the Gamepass app? Or would I have to do some dumb shit like try to emulate a xbox controller for it to be able to work?
OP
OP
DS4 works in some games, but if you want to use it in everything I think you're better off emulating a xbox360 controller with DS4Windows. https://ryochan7.github.io/ds4windows-site/
i'm having exactly the same issues.....
Done the manual update of windows, then it booted up but stayed on the green screen with the xbox logo. If I run it as administrator it goes to the next screen where is just goes black !!!
Any ideas anyone????
My laptop is current get i7 with a 1070 and 32gb of ram so plenty powerful enough.
Anyone know the VPN situation with gamepass?
Gamepass is in the Japanese bureaucracy limbo and has been delayed over 2 years now and seems to not be showing any signs of life at the moment. Apparently the approval of console game ratings and being able to sell pc versions of things are not related at all, and since gamepass offers both for games its not been approved yet.
This country has a BS system for everything, even playing damn games, geeze.

My pC is hooked up via WiFi in the living room but have a WiFi extender with Ethernet out. will try that when I get up officially ( it's 5am here lol)
What a mess but will try some of these things too.
That hasn't been my experience -- the game remained stuck at 720p, won't save system settings, and won't save my game.
Same issue here. Seems the Metro executable doesn't have write permissions to the default save folder. Since it took me forever patching up my system to even be able to run this game at all, I don't want to start messing around with the permissions and folders... again. But I think it has to do with that, anyway. Running the .exe as an admin might work, but the .exe file is locked inside the WindowsApps folder which is owned by TrustedInstaller.
Microsoft SERIOUSLY need to do a complete 180 on this whole setup. You can't be locking down folders away from the Admin user of a computer - I should be able to at the very least list the files in the directories.
Also... They're likely using their existing CDN to deliver these games, but that seems to be shared or something with every other downloadable that Microsoft offers, be it Windows Updates, Office, etc. This is likely why I can't get the Store to max out my connection anywhere near where Steam or similar can.
I haven't had any issues downloading or launching the few games I've tried so far but...
I really want to play CrossCode with a 360 pad but the game will not recognize it at all. I found a suggested fix by the dev, but it's for the Steam version, i.e., a version where you can go into the game's install directory and mess around. Windows locking me out of my game installs is not in the spirit of the whole "Win32 for all!" initiative they're trumpeting.
Any advice?

Man, i cancelled my sub. The fact that i own a large amount of these games already on Steam, the piss poor performance i'm getting with a game like gear of war ultimate edition and the fact that some other win games may make it over to steam just isn't enough for me to keep the service. The service is good for people who are starting out on PC, though.
No issues here. Game pass on pc is running beautifully. Download speeds could be better.
I'm just waiting for a patch for Void Bastards. There's a bug where the controller stops working. The patch has been sent to MS, it just needs to be approved. According to my direct message with the dev.
