Xbox Game Pass Games Not Installing/Updating Error 0x80073cfb On Xbox App/Microsoft Store On PC FIX
Error 0x80073CFB typically appears when you're trying to install or update Xbox Game Pass games using the Xbox app or Microsoft Store on a Windows 10/11 PC. This error indicates a failure during the app deployment or update process, usually due to corruption, permission issues, or missing system components.
1. Corrupted Gaming Services or Microsoft Store Components
If the Gaming Services, Xbox App, or Microsoft Store components are corrupted or not installed properly, the game can't be deployed or updated.
Fix: Reinstall Gaming Services
Open PowerShell as Administrator.
Run the following:
get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers
start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN
Reinstall Gaming Services from the Microsoft Store.
2. Broken or Incomplete App Installations
If a game or app was previously installed and didn't finish properly, it can leave behind broken entries that block future installs or updates.
Fix:
Go to Settings - Apps - Installed apps, locate the game, and uninstall it fully.
Then try reinstalling from the Xbox App or Microsoft Store.
If uninstall fails, try using PowerShell:
Get-AppxPackage game-name | Remove-AppxPackage
