    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.

    pre owned Xbox one games

    I'm guessing you are talking about disks

    No disk don't show up as ready to install as they aren't digital

    You pop in the disk and install while connected to the live

    That being said you cannot install disk games onto the series s

    You need the disk version of the series x

    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.
