0x80073D27 installing Gaming Services

SEP555 · 26 Jan 2022

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

[1] Do you get ANY ERROR messages at all?
[2] Have you checked for ANY further Windows Updates, because there was a bug reported by some Users?
[3] I do NOT actually use this myself, but I did a bit of investigation for you and found these which might be useful . . .

Hello Paul, appreciate the reply.

I did everything in order again but weirdly it worked. You may have noticed the error 0x80073D26 regarding this issue but D27 was a new one on me and doesn't appear on searches; but by the looks of it, it's the same.

Since then there has been an update for gaming services, but luckily still working ok.

So next gaming services update, next gaming services failure.

It's really messed up this time haven't been able to reinstall the services.

Xbox game pass unusable for 2 weeks now...
