I update windows, restart my computer, try to start the sim and get this:
what is this? and more importantly, how do I get the sim to start again?
Update gaming services via ms store app
in the end went for this solution:
Open Registry Editor
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE → SYSTEM → CurrentControlSet → Services
Remove the GamingServices and GamingServices.Net
Restart Computer
Go to your Windows Store → 3-dot-menu → Downloads and Updates → Check updates
Gaming Services should install now without issue.
Double check by rebooting and going back to Windows Store and trying to Get Updates again - you should be Up to date.
which worked, yay!

It’s weird how these bugs appear to come in clusters, and why some people are never struck by them. I’ve checked the screenshots of others with regard to Windows patches, and I see no difference between theirs, and mine yet I never had this problem.
