  1. Can only launch Games on C drive


    Hello,

    i have Forza Horizon 4 and Sea of Thieves on the Microsoft Store but i can only launch my Games if i install them on the C drive.

    Whenever i try to launch a game on d or e drive it pops up for a second and then closes.

    On Steam; Origin and Epic Games all games work properly even if I install them on a different drive.

    Pls help me im bout to punch my PC. I try it for 5 hours now and coulnt find a solution.

    (i tried wsreset and everything)

    :)

    Can only launch Games on C drive

    Okey now i had the oportunity to test sea of thieves. Formating both drives (ereasing the partitions and creating new ones) solved the problem for me. I imagine i had something broken due to windows updates. But now everything works well. I hope this will
    help you also.

    Okey i just formated both drives (also ereased all partitions and made new ones) and it seems to have fixed the problem. I tried with superhot and this time it straigt started from D: without installing on C: first. I will try froza tomorrow, my internet
    conection is slow and it takes me 5 or 6 hours to download so i put it this night. I will report if Forza also works.

    Hey guys Thanks for the reply, :)

    So i have installed forza on the D drive and also changed the default drive for apps to D but it still opens for one second and then closes again.

    I also moved Sea of Thieves to D and then i didnt work anymore so i moved it back on C and now its working fine again.

    It wont be a problem if my C drive were bigger but i can not have both at the same time on it.

    I tried like every Youtube Tutorial and every thread i could find.

    Sadly it still isnt Working for me :(

    (I actually had not installed the xbox beta app so i installed it on D wich is default now and is also not starting)
