Hey everyone, I've been dealing with this issue for a while now and have spent hours tonight trying to fix it with no luck. Hoping someone here has seen this before. Setup:

• Windows 11, local Microsoft account
• Game Pass PC subscription
• Games installed on F: drive (secondary drive)
• RTX 5090, Realtek GbE ethernet

The Problem: Xbox app takes forever to load, games don't show in the sidebar, and when they do, clicking Play results in "Launching" then immediately back to "Play" with no game window opening. Microsoft Store is also slow and unreliable.

What I've tried:

• Verified Xbox app and Microsoft Store are signed into the same account
• Repaired and Reset the Xbox app via Settings → Apps
• Ran wsreset.exe to clear Store cache
• Re-registered all Xbox related apps via PowerShell
• Removed and reinstalled Gaming Services multiple times
• Cleared Gaming Services registry keys (GamingServices and GamingServicesNet under HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services)
• Ran sfc /scannow — came back clean, no integrity violations
• Checked PackageVolumes registry entries under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\PackageVolumes and removed an orphaned C: entry with empty fields
• Force killed GamingServices.exe and GamingServicesNet.exe via taskkill
• Started all dependent Windows services (wuauserv, bits, cryptsvc, msiserver)
• Verified Xbox Identity Provider is installed
• Disabled Bitdefender completely
• Checked DNS — resolving correctly, network is healthy

Current State: Every time Gaming Services is freshly installed, sc query GamingServices immediately shows:

STATE: 2 START_PENDING
(NOT_STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)

It never progresses to RUNNING. Force killing the process and rebooting doesn't help — it goes right back to START_PENDING after every fresh reinstall. Error codes encountered along the way: 0x8007041d and 0x80073cfb.

Any game install is stuck paused in queue and Resume is greyed out because Gaming Services can't start.

Has anyone seen Gaming Services permanently stuck in START_PENDING like this? Is a Windows repair install the only option at this point?

I am very new to metamask so trying to figure this out. I sent SOL to my metamask wallet. But the payment processor where I am trying to buy stuff only accepts 'Base' or 'Polygon' USDC.

I am trying to swap SOL for USDC but it keeps saying 'Unable to get a quote right now. Try again.'

How do I do it?

Woke up to see FenLight AM not working. So I switched to Umbrella and connected my RD account and seems like I did get the infringing media notice on an episode but then it kept searching and played it.

So I'm wondering did I just get lucky? Or does Umbrella do any local/internal torrenting in the background.

I worry because I am not behind a VPN.

I'm using the Switch (Any) node from ComfyUI Impact Pack, which takes 3 image inputs and selects one based on an integer index (0, 1, 2). The problem is that bare integer selection isn't very user-friendly. I'd love a dropdown that shows something like:

(0) Photoreal

(1) Sketch

(2) Material

...so the user knows what each index actually represents, rather than having to remember what 0, 1, and 2 mean. Ideally I want a node with a labeled dropdown whose output is an INT, which I can then pipe directly into the Switch node's index input. Has anyone solved this with an existing node from a popular pack (Comfyroll, Easy Use, rgthree, etc.)? Or is a small custom node really the only clean way to do this?

Hi,

I am trying to figure out what's going on and if someone else is getting the same thing.

I have FenLightAM installed but anytime I select a show or movie it shows no content or streaming links for it.

Ive tried updating the addon but it's the same thing.

Anyone else experienced this?

Device - Nvidia Shield

FenLightAM version - 2.2.02

External Scraper - Magneto Module v6.04.0

Edit : seems to be working now. Had to re-Auth Trakt and Tmdb. And clear all cache and then reboot shield. Thanks everyone for suggestions!
