XboxGipSvc freezes on 'Starting' status

[adolfo-cia]

Describe the bug
When running the tweaks (desktop), the service XboxGipSvc is set to manual, but the status remains in 'Starting'.
Windows 11.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run the tweaks (desktop)
2. Go to Windows Services app
3. Look at 'Xbox Accesory Management Service'

Expected behavior
The service should in 'Stopped'

Additional context
I think the issue is related to the tweaks option 'Disable Telemetry'.
Haven't checked, but a few months ago if you revert the changes, that won't work. Only works if you restore with the system restore point.
Also, I'm not using the Xbox app, but I read other issues in the past that this might break the xbox app.

Thanks for the tool!

@adolfo-cia
It should be fixed now with #1766
Could you close the issue

[adolfo-cia]

@YusufKhalifadev I'm closing the issue but I've not checked if it's resolved or not. I'll take your comment as granted.
I've re installed windows, so I'll check whether it is resolved or not later on when have time.

Hi, I'd like to report that it seems to not have been fixed, and I'm having this problem as well.

I'm having this same issue right now, it's definitely not fixed.

[adolfo-cia]

I have re opened the issue as other users reported that this is still not fixed.

I am having this issue right now, is there a fix for it?

Out of nowhere I couldn't open/login the XBox accessories app. I thought it was because the XBox services weren't running, but what fixed it for me was resetting all XBox apps.

Start > Installed Apps > XBox > "..." > Advanced > Reset

Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't work. Only resetting the apps fixed the issue. No need to run the XBox services, at least in my case. Hope this helps someone.

Having this same issue which is stopping me from using an Instrument mapper to use my guitar hero controller with fortnite festival (InvoxiPlayGames/FestivalInstrumentMapper#64) is there a fix yet or a way to undo the tweak that is causing this?

edit: i have found the button to undo tweaks lol, i am blind

I got it to work now, but I had to re-download Windows through Windows Updates (System > Recovery > Fix problems using Windows Update). I didn't loose any of my personal files and data, but took a few hours. After this, XboxGivSvc was running again.

HOWEVER, that was not my issue actually. I couldn't see the Download button in the Xbox Accessories app in the Windows Store, which was due to my computer NOT having United States as it's country. After I changed from my country to United States in that configuration, the button appeared. Hopefully this helps someone else who might have the same issue.

Hello,
I tried the tool again and I can confirm that this issue still exsits.
Is there anyone that can help with troubleshooting?

thanks

yeah its still an issue as its not working for me either, done almost everything but it just wont work!

Hey, can confirm this is still an issue. After applying the standard set of tweaks XboxGipSvc just fails to start and hangs on "Starting". This breaks the FortniteFestivalInstrumentMapper, as mentioned above. Undoing everything seems to fix it.
