Can only install very few games onto my D: or E: drive.

AeonianAce · Dec 15, 2021

I only bought GamePass today, I have all my new files set to install onto the D: drive or E: drive. Both of these drives are internal and NTFS. I can only install very few games onto the D: or E: drive and I cannot move the ones that install on the C: drive, I've tried. I have windows 11 if that's the issue? But from what I've heard it's a 5+ year old bug on Microsoft's end that they never fully fixed.

Is there anything I can do?

Hey AeonianAce, how are you today? Hope you're well.

Indeed, that's an ongoing bug with Xbox app, but soon an update will be availble which will gives us, players, the freedom to choose exactly where we can install each game and directory. Also, will give us the full accessibility within the games files as well.

Games will intall onto my C drive (the drive that has WIndows installed onto it), but now I can't choose to install games onto my D or E drive, because I deleted the WPsystem folders.

I formatted the D drive and E drive, but I can still only download games onto my C drive. I get the same error code on the other two.

So, yes, I can install only on the C: drive. It fails only both the D: and E: drives. Where I'd like to install the game, of course.

I have installed games onto my C drive multiple times however, their size was only 20gb. With age of empires 4 I require more space which my C drive simply does not have as it is an SSD with only 200gb of space.

I do know that it can install games just not on my D drive for some reason.
