Out of the blue yesterday the game told me I needed to download an essential updates package, and along with that it was showing me user settings that are different from what I normally use. Couldn’t figure it out, so I did a complete reinstall overnight.
I log back in this morning, all looks good for a while, and then all of a sudden it’s doing it again - reverting to old settings and telling me I need to download a essential update package. The heck is going on?
This sounds a lot like this.
You could try it and see if it helps.
I tried that last night and it didn’t work.
I logged out of the Xbox app and finally got the game to launch, but now I’m seeing the spinning circle on the lower right-hand screen.
That’s been reported by a few folks lately.

There may be some help in those.
Nope, it’s still thinking I’m logging into the game for the first time. This is the first screen I see once I’m now past the spinning circle:
And then it shows me the setup screens for controls, data streaming options, etc.
There is no reason for this. It makes no sense. I get to the main screen and now it shows this:
I tried deleting the wgs folder per the zendesk link and it didn’t work.
Over and over again it keeps thinking I’m logged out of the game.
Still going around in circles - now it says I once again have to download a 160 GB mandatory update.
This outright ■■■■■■■ me off at this point. I have changed NOTHING with my game since yesterday, and now I cannot play it.
The only other fix I’ve seen here, was one instance where a re-install worked.
Yes, I ended up reinstalling and now all is good. Glad that is over with!
The same thing happened to me this morning, but I was able to fix it using the solution posted by FiZZL3Z in this post:
I went to task manager->serices->open services, found all “xbox” titled services, went to their properties and made them automatic. Then I rebooted the computer, and all my settings were restored and the game loaded normally.
