Good morning

Make sure your Windows Defender is active, that your Windows is activated and that the date and time are set to automatic.

Cheers buddy.

im just re-downloading it for the 3rd time.

i chnaged the download location to my D drive and when i opened up the game, the file path said C:\user\me\appdata.....etc, but said the free space was 812GB. Thats not possible as my C drive isnt that big and that was my exact remaining space on my D drive.

keeping my fingers crossed i’ve not done anything wrong!

Strange issue

It sounds like it's only allowing the drive for media access, rather than games and apps.

Did you try (a) a different usb port (b) a different usb cable (c) formatting the drive whilst connected to the xbox, setting the drive as the default install location and then downloading the smallest game you own and see if that installs to the drive ?

I have 2 external drives, with my WD drive being set as default install location and games always download and install there by default. I'm also using an xbox one x, running on the "delta" insider preview dashboard.

Did you install to c: drive? I have the same issue, I cannot choose c: for installation as the drive isnt big enough but it still installs the 900MB setup files on c: even though I have chose another drive. It installs the 900MB files to both locations?
So I have 2 copies of the exact files on 2 different drives. I have tried running Flightsimulator.exe directly from c: drive which also throws up the same error you have posted above, trying the same from the other drive throws up a permissions error but the
security tab shows that I have permission? So frustrating

To change the download folder for Xbox Game Pass on PC, you can follow these steps:

Open the Xbox app on your PC.

Click on the Settings icon in the bottom left corner of the app.

In the Settings menu, click on "Storage".

Under "Storage locations", click on "New".

Choose the drive and folder where you want to store your downloads, then click "Select Folder".

Click on "Apply" to save the changes.

After completing these steps, any future downloads from Xbox Game Pass will be saved to the new folder you selected. However, keep in mind that any games or apps that you have already downloaded will still be located in their original download location, so you may need to manually move them to the new location if you want to free up space on your C: drive.

If you are still unable to change the download folder for Xbox Game Pass, you may need to free up space on your C: drive by deleting unused files or uninstalling programs.
