this happened to me and I realised I wasn't running 'powershell as admin'. That might be whats happening with you
Bump - I'm having exactly the same issue, does anybody know anything?

I'm just going to put this here on the off chance that none of the solutions anyone has been able to find has worked.
What finally worked for me was installing Windows 11 with a local account, then once everything was up and running, run Windows Update and be sure everything is updated, then uninstall the Xbox App, and then in PowerShell, run Get-AppXPackage *gamingservice* | Remove-AppXPackage . Once that's gone, go to the store, install the Xbox App again, and launch it.
When the app launches, and prompts you to login to your Microsoft Account, don't click the button to use the login everywhere. There's a little blue link below it that says "Microsoft apps only". Clicked that, it logged me in and prompted me that the Xbox app needed an update, updated with the link shown at the bottom of the Xbox app, and after the update applied, it worked.
My issue was stemming from Gaming Services having two services in Services Control Panel, one of which worked fine, and the other which would not start no matter what, and essentially would just never let the Xbox app login. This fixed that by just bypassing those services altogether and letting the app handle the login itself.
Hope to god this helps someone else, because this issue has been one of the most annoying things I've come across with WOA.

Absolute GEM!! Thanks a ton!
my man! *Denzel Washington voice*
I was frustrated for the past couple of days lol
1 thing I'll add...I Installed all of the Xbox apps via the Microsoft Store...when I saw your post, I uninstalled only the Xbox app (the other ones had the uninstall button greyed out and I wanted to just try it out really quick anyways before uninstalling everything)...when I installed the Xbox app through the website, it worked and it some how synced with the existing other Xbox apps like the Game Bar [unless the Xbox app installation via the website wiped all of the other Xbox apps and reinstalled all of its versions]...whatever the case, it works...this free trial is now definitely worth it...might even purchase Parallels Desktop if I continue using Mac in the future
Logging in has not been my issue so I can connect remotely to my Xbox, but I still don't have the ability to 'see' any of my Library games within the app. It used to just flash forever trying to refresh and now the left menu option has been gone for some time now. The only options are "Cloud Gaming" and "community." And Cloud gaming only gives the option to join GamePass (Ultimate) and a listing of "cloud enabled games" none of which seem to contain my existing library. is this feature permanently broken for ARM users?
Fantastic!!! just follow the step and it resolve the issue!!
The same problem. I can login into the Xbox app now, but the left bar show nothing except my account name.
Had the same issue and tried everything what was linked and suggested in this thread - nothing worked. I just wanted to play minecraft bedrock on my macbook. I installed minecraft from the MS-Store and it could not log in to the service (Code BAT).
The xboy-app showed my store-account but not the xbox-id.
Like I wrote, nothing worked for me. Then I installed the normal minecraft-launcher as a last hope and it installed some more tools, like the "account provider" - and after that I could run Minecraft bedrock on my mbp. The xbox-app looks now like I am completly signed in, with xbox-id in the top left corner.

The Xbox app from the site worked! However, I only see my profile and Cloud Gaming. Hmm... wonder if this has something to do with the ARM-based windows.
"Sounds like a frustrating issue with getting the Xbox app to work through Parallels. It might help to ensure that your virtual machine has the latest updates or check the app's compatibility settings. As noted in Pearl Lemon's Clutch reviews, clear troubleshooting steps and solid support are essential to solving tech issues like this efficiently. Hopefully, you'll get it working soon
Yeah, that's a common issue with the Xbox app on Parallels. Try installing Lucky 101 app, it helps with some of the login and compatibility issues. Also, make sure Parallels is set to Windows 11 (ARM) and that your Microsoft Store/Xbox services are updated. If that doesn't work, try signing in through the Microsoft Store app first, then launching Xbox. Hope that helps!
Hi! It sounds like the Xbox app isn't fully connecting with your Microsoft account on Parallels. Sometimes the sign-in doesn't complete if the app or Windows needs a quick refresh. You could try closing and reopening the app, making sure your Microsoft account is signed in on Windows, or signing in via the web first and then reopening the app. Updating or reinstalling the Xbox app can also help if it keeps getting stuck.
