After Xbox insider app for windows was updated yesterday I can't find my installed games...

After an update, the microsoft gaming service was not foud, even when i installed it again (even unistalling it and reinstalling it via micorsoft store). Xbox app wouldn't even find the install location for apps. This happened after i restored the windows 11 instalation.

Dear Kathy,

You have posted the same info multiple times now, but it simply doesn't work.

After a reinstall of Windows due to a hardware failure, I can't get the Xbox app to install to the configured folder.

Whatever folder I choose, it is properly shown in the installation dialog, but games get still installed into C:\Program Files\WindowsApps.

Before the fresh installation of Windows this worked without any issues.

Yes, everything is updated, and I even tried the Insider version without success.

This seems to be genuinely bugged, at least for new installations.

Full removal of xbox Insider Pgm and full factory Reset fixed My issue but created Install issues with MSN weather and Windows Maps constantly updating after a fresh install but the report a Problem app works now Just gotta re sync and reinstall a few things I'll be in good shape minus the App constantly Updating bug

Thanks guys yeah I've tried that. The installation path is selected, but no games appear in my downloaded tab.

My games are there but not playable.

Perhaps I need to be clear that I did a fresh install of Windows. After the fresh install, I reinstalled the xbox beta app. I then selected the folder from my e:/.

The folder that is on my e drive is not acessable so I can't change any files inside it. Do I need to change something?

The above issue occurred on a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro.

I was able to "fix" the issue by unenrolling from Xbox Insider Hub's Windows Gaming. I then uninstalled the Xbox app. I restarted my machine. I then re-enrolled back in the Windows Gaming Preview. I reinstalled the Xbox App. I still had the same error, so I unchecked the option to "Ask me for install options on every install." Game Pass Games now install as normal rather than the advanced options under C:\Xbox Games.

Identifying the issue was seeing the option "This game supports advanced management features." on the 7 games that were already installed.

Advanced Installation and Management Features available for Insiders through the Xbox App for Windows - Xbox Wire

In conclusion,

I believe this is some sort of Xbox Insider Hub Preview issue with the Xbox App because the 7 games were installed without the option of C:\Xbox Games that I had prior to reloading Windows 11.
