    Xbox app not allowing installs to secondary drive on PC

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello PatrickCrouch1,

    are you trying to install the Xbox App on disk D: or just install the games on disk D?

    Because I believe that it is not possible to install the Xbox App, App Companion etc in another folder other than the root, this is because the Apps work together and need to be on the same disk C: that the operating system is installed.

    Unmounting Local Disk: Z causes Xbox App to not work properly

    Hello xCrimin4L! I'm Claus, an Independent Microsoft Community Consultant for Xbox! Glad to be able to help you!

    If you have games installed from the Xbox app on the Z: disk, then you would need to first move/install them on a local disk inside your PC. If your other drivers aren't detected by the Xbox app, then go to:

    1. Settings (Windows 10 app).

    2. Select System > Storage.

    3. Under More Storage Settings, select Change where new content is saved.

    4. Change the default local disk for new Apps to some other drive, and then restart your PC.

    5. Check if your other drives are now listed on the Xbox app.

    Game won't install and automatically stopping itself from installing

    It's a disk so I'm not sure if it will work. Personally I think it might be the disk or something because it can install apps fine but I haven't tried installing any other game so I'm not sure if it is.

    Why Xbox app creates 3 foulders Xboxgames, program files and windowsapp?

    Windows is installed in Disk C and when i select the installation location to Disk D it creates Windowsapp,Program Files, Xboxgames foulders, i dont want the foulders random in Disk D without any kind of organization, i want to install the xbox app in a custom foulder inside Disk (D), How hard is to to be able to install Xbox app and games wherever i want just like any other gaming launcher?

    Tell me a way on how to get xboxgames,windowsapp, program file all inside the costum foulder that i want, i really dont understand the necessity to create these useless foulders when installing a game.
