Can you guys check if there are any logs generated in your \Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris GamePass folder? In particular the crashes folder. We've had a hard time replicating this so we're at a bit of a loss here.
 
Also, for anyone with this same issue, if you check the installation directory for Stellaris there's a Stellaris application file, if you run that it should skip the launcher, does that start the game?
 
Well, with all the respect in the world, I think you didn't pay attention. I'll hope that one day an update will fix the problem, just like the last update messed it up.
Thanks for your help.
This isn't something we can fix as it's not the games fault. What I think has happened is that the gamepass app/most recent Windows update changed permissions and since you've got it installed in the Windowsapps folder it most likely won't work. Please try what Andrew suggested above:

  1. Uninstall the game
  2. Open the game pass app
  3. Click your name at the top left > Settings > General
  4. Change the default folder to something else (standard one is C:\XboxGames)
  5. Reinstall the game to that folder
  6. Launch it without Administrator options
