How to Fix Error 10009 in Gears of War Reloaded
Error 10009 can stop Gears of War Reloaded from opening on PC Game Pass. This comes from Xbox app or Gaming Services issues. Here is how to fix it step by step.
Step 1. Check Xbox Live Status
Go to the Xbox Live status page. If Account, Profile, or Multiplayer services are down, you will need to wait until Microsoft fixes them.
Step 2. Sign Out and Back In
Open the Xbox app and sign out. Then open the Microsoft Store and sign out. Restart your PC. Sign back in on both with the same account.
Step 3. Reset the Apps
Go to Windows Settings, Apps, Installed Apps. Find the Xbox app, choose Advanced Options, and press Reset. Do the same for Microsoft Store. Restart your PC.
Step 4. Restart Xbox Services
Open the Services menu (Win + R, type services.msc). Restart these: Xbox Live Auth Manager, Xbox Live Networking Service, Xbox Accessory Management Service, and Gaming Services.
Step 5. Repair Gaming Services
If Gaming Services is broken, remove it and reinstall it from the Microsoft Store. This refreshes the connection between Xbox app and PC Game Pass.
Step 6. Sync Region and Time
Go to Settings, Time and Language. Turn on automatic time and automatic time zone. Under Region, make sure it matches the same region as your Xbox account.
Step 7. Reset Network
Run Command Prompt as Administrator and clear the DNS, reset IP, and reset Winsock. Restart your PC after this.
Step 8. Check Firewall and Antivirus
Make sure Xbox app, Gaming Services, and Gears of War Reloaded are allowed through your firewall. If you have a third-party antivirus, disable it temporarily and try again.
Step 9. Reinstall the Game
If nothing works, uninstall Gears of War Reloaded from the Xbox app. Delete any leftover folders under your local AppData Packages for the game. Reinstall it on an SSD through the Xbox app for best results.
Final Blurb
Most of the time error 10009 is fixed by resetting Xbox app and Gaming Services. If that does not work, a clean reinstall usually gets the game running again on PC Game Pass.
