Hello GiorgosMarnellos,

Good day! Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

We are sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with the Xbox app on Windows PC. Let's try a few steps to fix the issue however just a heads up, here at Microsoft Community forums, we only have limited tools in case the troubleshooting steps fail, we may need you to reach Xbox Live Support for further assistance.

Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue:

1. Update the Xbox app: Make sure your Xbox app is up-to-date. You can do this by checking for updates in the Microsoft Store.

2. Check your region and language settings: Xbox Cloud Gaming is only available in selected countries. Make sure your region is one of the supported ones.

3. Repair the Xbox app: You can repair the Xbox app from the Windows system settings. Here’s how:

• Press Windows + S to bring up the search console.
  
• Type Installed apps and click Open.
  
• On the Installed Apps search bar, type Xbox.
  
• Click the 3-dot icon beside Xbox and select Advanced Options.
  
• Scroll to Repair and click on it.
  

4. Reinstall Gaming Services: Uninstall and reinstall the Gaming Services.

• Press the Start button on the taskbar, type powershell, right-click on Windows PowerShell, and then select Run as administrator1.
  
• In Windows PowerShell, type the following command and press Enter:
