Reset The Microsoft Store Application

I’ve noticed that resetting the Microsoft Store application and seeing if the error flushes out is best. The steps for this purpose are the same as those for repairing the Xbox app. My colleague conducted a test that successfully resolved this issue, resetting the Microsoft Store application, a solution that has also been effective for other users on Reddit.

Reinstall Gaming Services

According to my expertise, an issue might be the corrupted gaming services, which end up causing problems all over your System. It might also hinder the Xbox opening and updating, freezing the process or not letting it happen. So, the best way to counter this is by reinstalling the gaming services. To do that, try following these steps.

  1. Press the “Windows + X” key, and several options appear.
  2. Select the “Windows Power Shell(Admin)” option. On Windows 11, hit up the Windows terminal (Admin) option.

You can copy the codes from here

Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers
Remove-Item -Path "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServices" -recurse
Remove-Item -Path "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServicesNet" -recurse

Restart the System to see if the trick worked or not.

Clean Unnecessary Data

Another thing I’ve noticed is that there might be corrupted data or insufficient space for the game to run correctly or to have an update, which could be the issue. Use your operating System’s disk “Clean Up Tool” to eliminate excessive load.

  1.  Press the “Windows + R” keys together to launch the command bar. Type “cleanmgr” and hit Enter.

  6. After the process is done, restart your System and see if the error disappeared or not.

Final Verdict

In my experience, glitches can occur due to outdated systems, so checking for updates is recommended. Reinstalling the gaming services is a potential fix, and if the issue persists, contacting Hulu’s customer support is advisable.
