Gameservices not installing

flyingdutchy452 · May 30, 2021, 7:16am

Little update in Gameservices do download, but do not install.
Community folder is empty. What to do?

Hi, i have the same problem
There is nothing to do at this time, the microsoft support should find a solution.
We have to wait.

I had that yesterday too and this is how I solved it:

Open registry editor.
Delete both entries:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServices]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServicesNet]

Reboot pc

Happened to me months ago and never got resolved despite many pleas to Microsoft so I got a refund and bought it via Steam instead

Microsoft Flight Simulator is currently not available in your account. Make sure you are signed in to the Store and try again. Here’s the error code, in case you need it: 0x803F8001

comes up for me. Everything looks normal apart from that. I am really getting fed up by this …

this wont work

CptStevil · May 30, 2021, 8:43am

It worked for me …

RogerDodger9740 · May 30, 2021, 8:43am

This happened to me yesterday as well. I also used the same method as CptStevil, open RegEdit as administrator. This solved it.

Thanks a lot! That did it!!!

CptStevil · May 30, 2021, 9:16am

Have fun again buddy

I think you have to create an Administrator account and log into that account to be able to make changes to the Registry. Maybe

CptStevil · May 30, 2021, 3:21pm

Yeah this should be obvious

And after all this, it still doesn’t work. The Gaming Services at the MS Store still won’t download and reports error 0x80072D26. For me and several hundred other people reporting this error to MS… When this first started occuring in mid-September, 2020 the following advice was published:
Delete:
Keys:

[HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Software\Classes\Local Settings\MrtCache\C:%5CProgram Files%5CWindowsApps%5CMicrosoft.GamingServices_2.45.11001.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe%5Cresources.pri]

[HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Software\Classes\Local Settings\MrtCache\C:%5CProgram Files%5CWindowsApps%5CMicrosoft.Gamingservices_2.45.11001.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe%5Cresources.pri\1d6937194966bce]
then delete:
Services:

H_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM files you mentioned. Didn’t work for a lot of people back then, still doesn’t work in some cases now…

sni1perjosh · May 30, 2021, 7:28pm

Yeah guys this is literally solved by just ensuring you have the latest optional updates installed on windows, same this time and same last time again…

trashmon49 · May 30, 2021, 7:42pm

OK, another straw to grasp at… LOL… I’m off to see if any optional updates are uninstalled… Fingers crossed. Five minutes later… No Joy. Still the same 0x80073D26 error, no sign of any Gaming Services entries in the Registry.

RogerDodger9740 · May 30, 2021, 8:11pm

Just right click regedit, “run as administrator”

trashmon49 · May 30, 2021, 8:22pm

I’ve been starting the editor from the search window. When you say regedit are you in a CMD prompt or something? Thanks for the reply…

SteveOhhNo · May 30, 2021, 8:32pm

in the search bar type regedit , now ‘right’ click on registry editor and select run as administrator.

ScarceFan16 · May 31, 2021, 5:32am

Same problem. Gameservices downloads but does not install. Error Code is 0x8007139F. Had just finished downloading and installing AS 33 Me glider and had turned off Windows Defender. Tried starting FS2020, but immediately goes to the Store, followed by error during installation, then the error code!

TenPatrol · May 31, 2021, 8:16am

In windows search bar type powershell
Right click on it and select run as administrator
