Xbox App Not Opening/Not Starting/Not Launching Error Code 0x80070057 On PC FIX
The Xbox App not opening or launching with error code 0x80070057 on a Windows PC usually points to invalid parameters or system conflicts that block the app from starting correctly.
Here are the main causes of this error:
⸻
1. Corrupted App Installation
• The Xbox app files may be damaged or incomplete, especially after a failed update or interrupted installation.
2. Windows Store or Xbox Services Malfunction
• If essential background services like Gaming Services, Xbox Live Auth Manager, or the Microsoft Store are disabled or broken, the app may fail to launch.
3. Damaged System Files
• Corruption in Windows core files (especially related to the Store or user profile) can trigger error 0x80070057, which means “invalid parameter”.
4. Missing or Incompatible Gaming Services
• The Xbox app relies on the Gaming Services package. If it’s missing, outdated, or incorrectly installed, the app won’t launch.
5. Outdated Windows Version
• Some Xbox app versions require the latest Windows updates to function properly. If you’re running an outdated version, it may prevent the app from opening.
