Importing microsoft/xbox games

Launchbox does not seem to import my library of games from the MS/xbox store.  I only have a handful of games on there.  Is there any know issue with import PC games from this store into Launchbox?  I use the import wizard by going to Tools->Import->Xbbox/Microsoft store games.  I then eventually get the option to logging to my account.  Maybe if I install the games I can maybe use the import Windows games option?

In order for Windows Store/XBOX Gamepass games to be available in Microsofts API, the game must of been launched at least once. You know that annoying connection box that pops up every time you play a game for the first time? Yeah that, so unless the game has been linked to your account via that popup, then it doesn't appear in your library, therefore we can't import it.

Ah that makes sense.  I've got that old age PC game problem where I have tons of games that I've never played, so yes I've never launched these games

lol, Yeah same. Essentially a game is not credited to your account until you "connect" it upon first launch, thats a Microsoft thing, so nothing we can do to change that i'm afraid.
