    Can't Download and Install Games to Drives other than C:/


    Dear All,

    I have an issue regarding downloading games into other drives than C:/ on my computer. Every time I tried to install the game to D:/ or E:/ drives, my downloaded game will show an error code 0x80073d21 with title "Change where you install apps"

    I already did the drive change in Storage > Change where new content is saved to other than C:/ but the result is still nothing even if I put the exact same download location in Xbox Apps. Every time it downloads and the size reached 845 KB, it stopped and instantly notify and error as mentioned earlier. Is there any other way to fix this?

    Note: I did this on two different computers to test that it might be storage or OS/Apps issue and the result remains the same. The game MUST go to C.

    :)

    But there's a workaround that you could try:

    Open Settings on Windows 10.

    Click on System.

    Click on Storage.

    Under the “More storage settings” section, click the Change where new content is saved option.

    Use the New apps will save to drop-down menus to select the new default location for apps.

    Click the Apply button.

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

    My name is Vinicius.

    I am a gamer and independent advisor on the XBOX community platform.

    Hey Abil, how are you today? Hope you're well.

    Abil, For now, the game pass app doesn't allow us to choose exactly where we want to install games, in which drive we want.

    But, there's good news hehe, the game pass app on windows is about to get an update that will change that, it will give us the freedom to install the games wherever we want, also, will give us full access to its files. :) The update has no official date yet but will come soon we believe. :)

    I already did this and it still not working. I think I will wait for the new patch for Xbox Apps. Before this patch happen, I think I'm not gonna get myself the Game Pass yet.

    Can't install on a drive other than C:

    Hi,

    I have tried all the above and still not allowing me to install to my E: drive :-(

    As a last resort I checked the actual security properties of the E: drive and compared it to C: and D: and cannot see any differences of significance.
