Gaming Services 0x80073D27

Hi, I have been trying to install Gaming Services with no luck only 0x80073D27

The other day I installed 21H2 via enablement package KB5003791 and a few updates that go with that. Since then I am unable to run any games under game pass.

I have gone into the reg to delete what gaming services that were there and used the powershell to get the gaming services package.

When the xbox app asks i need to install the gaming services via the store i still get the 0x80073D27 error.

I even uninstall the 21H2 feature updates but the same error occurs. The only update i wasn't able to uninstall was the Servicing Stack it installed. Not sure if there is a problem with these. I now have version 10.0.19041.1490. The previous Servicing Stacks listed are 1220,1310 & 1371.

even checked the system integrity with dism.

No idea what else to do, game pass is now unusable.

 

0x80073D27 installing Gaming Services

Hi, recently I updated Win10Pro to 21H2. After this I have been unable to run any games under Game Pass.

Running a game opens the MS Store, it tries to install Gaming Services but fails with 0x80073D27

I have tried uninstalling gaming services and gamingservicesnet in the reg. reinstalling from powershell appx package, no luck.

I have also uninstalled the 21H2 updates (though won't allow uninstall of servicing stack 10.0.19041.1490). No luck


Not sure if i need to delete all references of gamingservices in reg or just the controlset folder of it.


Anything else i've missed.

Hope someone can help thanks

 

Gaming Services 0x80073D27

Open up the Powershell in Admin mode and type in the three lines:

Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers <Enter>



Remove-Item -Path "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServices" -recurse <Enter>



Remove-Item -Path "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServicesNet" -recurse <Enter>





You may find it can't find one of the registry paths, it doesn't matter.

Reboot pc. This does actually make the difference if it works or not.

You will need to reinstall the gaming services. You can install via the xbox app but found better results via the powershell:



start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

Now no more msgs in the xbox app. Game Pass games now work. Yay!

Until the next Gaming Services update where you will have to do the above procedure again.
