    Game not launching from xbox companion app

    go to settings and change storage location back to c:, then install the gaming services update, then change storage location back to wherever you had it.

    the gaming services thing has to be installed on c:, if you have your default storage on another drive it errors, this gaming services app is that an app so will try to install to wherever the default storage is but it can only be installed on the system
    drive(C:)

    Hi Amelsalkic1! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

    Changing the default install location of these apps could solve the issue

    Click on the search bar and type in “Settings.”

    From the search results, select the Settings

    Select System from the menu.

    In the menu on the left, select Storage.

    Now, under More storage settings, click Change where new content is saved.

    Select your new default location.

    Every app you download from the Windows Store will now automatically install in your new default location

    Xbox (Beta) is not seeing any of my storage drives

    games under a certain size will only install to the defualt storage location that is set for apps and games under settings/storage/change where to store.

    large games will let you choose a drive.

    basically change the default storage location for apps and games to another drive.
