Tried many fixes, anyone have one that worked without re-install.

Also what's the best way to reinstall as good old MS has word not allowed itself again all why I do nothing other than try to use it.

Thanks in advance as I have run all the trouble shooting for security, updates ect to no avail it hangs and looks like its 95% complete on the little blue bar.

Also any info on why we have to update the gaming services, I know its all interconnected but seems like more things to break.

Thanks again Avsim you guys have saved me more thanonce.

Reset microsoft store app and clear cache.

How to

and try my solution.

Hi Shayne, Check your Windows version number in the Control Panel>System>About>Windows specifications, version. My version was well out of date and that is why I also got the Gaming Sevices error message. I updated Windows to version 21H1 and it also updated Gaming Services and the error went away. I assume that The Gaming Services was trying to update itself into my older version of Windows.

Regards...Ken.

Silicus, your method worked for me, I tried all the others and had everything up to date and still nothing.

In that method I was missing one of the gaming services and I cant recall which one but the last step on the video before getting to method 2 resets it and then I downloaded it and everything worked and updated.

Thanks again, when folks work together to help one another we can solve almost every problem.

Thanks again Avsim and all the folks that make it what it is.
