actually, the steam deck uses proton to run windows programs. you CAN install windows games on it without windows 10 and they run quite well. In fact, that's the selling point: many of the games that steamdeck runs are the windows versions. There are guides all over the internet for getting everything from EA play, to Gamepass, to GOG, etc running on the steamdeck to play the windows native games on the steamdeck.

Hi MikeDonar, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

Kindly make sure that your PC is up to date by following the steps below:

Settings > Update & Security > Check for updates.

Kindly install the game as well directly on Microsoft Store App.

you cant, it does not work like the other launchers even win 10 to win 10, the encrypted folder is tied to that one installation if you reset windows or format then you have to delete and redownload all the games.

There is no way of transferring games from one install of windows to another for gamepass or windows store installations. yes it sucks.

Hi AtreyaBhat,

Games installed via Xbox Gamepass for PC will likely be in a hidden folder and generally install to the same location as other Windows 10 apps.

you can find some great support articles for this type of issue on the Xbox support page or, if your issue is not covered
in the support topics, you can contact the support team for further assistance.

Cheers
