Cannot install games on my Hard Drive Xbox Games Pass. Error: 0x800706b5

Hi NaseemUsmani!

Let's try the solution below.

1. Go to "my computer" > Select the disk you want to save files from now on.
2. There will be a folder called "Windows apps" > Right click and select properties > security > advanced.
3. Another tab will appear, click continue (for this, your account must have admin privileges).
4. Where is owner click "change" > then "Advanced" > Then "find now" > Then choose "Authenticated Users" > Click OK, then OK again and click apply.
5. After this rename the WindowsApps folder to WindowsApps.old
6. Create a new folder called WindowsApps.
NOTE: It is important that you rename the folder according to step 5 and create another one according to step 6, otherwise it won't work.
7. Restart the PC.
8. Then try changing the save location for new apps and games in the settings again.
9. If it still doesn't work for you, delete the WpSystem folder on your D drive: it should allow you to change download locations without an error.

The steps are found on this thread. If it doesn't work, please try the other suggested steps on that thread.

I never said you can't install games onto the hard drive, you cannot install original Xbox games onto your hard drive. There is a difference between original Xbox games and Xbox 360 games. All Xbox 360 games that have discs can be installed to the hard drive
(assuming you have space). Original Xbox games cannot.

Hi, sorry for that issue, the problem is the external hard drive, for some reason (I don't know why), the games that require Administrator approval have issue on external drive.

Thanks for the answer. External hard drive it is not the problem in my case. While trying to find a solution to this Xbox Game pass for PC / Windows Store error I did reinstall Windows 10 on my iMac's internal hard drive. The problem with error 0x8007001f
persists even when Windows 10 is installed on the internal hard drive.
