How to Fix Xbox App Error Code 0x87e50029 on Windows

Unlike Steam which never has issues the Xbox App on Windows 10 and 11 is a bit of a mess. So you'll want to reset the Xbox app to default (factory settings) You'll also want to make sure that you are using the same account in the Microsoft Store and the Xbox app. If you are using different ones you will probably have some issues.

Open Settings and go to Apps & Features.
Find Microsoft Store, click the three dots, and choose Advanced Options.
Scroll down and select Reset.
Restart your computer after the reset is complete. Continue with the following steps before testing the Xbox app.

Reset the Xbox App

Now that you've dealt with the Microsoft Store app you need to deal with the Xbox app.

Open Settings and navigate to Apps & Features.
Locate the Xbox app, click the three dots, and choose Advanced Options.
Scroll down and click Reset.

Finally! Repeat the same steps for the Gaming Services app.

Scroll down and press Reset.
Restart your PC and check if the Xbox app now functions properly.

If you have problems with the Game Services app or this same issue again try the next step which will reinstall it. From my personal experience, the Gaming Services app is usually the root of most Xbox app and Game Pass issues.

Reinstall Gaming Services

Reinstalling Gaming Services can resolve deeper issues.

Type "PowerShell" in Windows search, right-click the result and select Run as administrator.
In PowerShell, copy and paste the following commands, pressing Enter after each

Remove-Item -Path “HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServicesNet” -recurse

Close PowerShell and restart your computer.

Re-register All Apps (Last Resort)

Re-registering the app can fix registration or configuration issues.

Open PowerShell as administrator.
Copy and paste the following command, then press Enter:
