Importing downloaded games through xbox pass

[liftn]

When I try to import Xbox games that I have downloaded and played with game pass, the list comes up empty. A few of the games I have added manually through the .exe files but I would like to get this to work as a few of the games need to be started trough there and for metadata.  Thanks for any help or suggestions.

I personally don't have Xbox Game Pass, but here's a video tutorial on importing them.  It's a couple years old, so hopefully it's still relevant.  If not, please report back and hopefully someone will chime in.

I just wanted to comment that this doesn't appear to work anymore at all.  I go through the same process as the video, click the new sign in, and a box never shows up asking me to sign into my account.  It just goes to the next page of nothing new has been found, and I have 0 total games imported from my xbox or gamepass library.

I developed a program that solves the problem with importing games from XBOX Game Pass.

Basically, the problem with importing is that the game is executed using uwp, which is a new method of executing programs. It is possible that LB is incompatible with this method, I'm not sure but it's a possibility.

I made a program that lists all Windows uwp's, selects the ones you want and allows you to create a .bat file, to run the games. LB can import and execute the .bat files like executables and run the game, which solves the problem to some extent.

You can download the executable from my GitHub, follow the link below:
