    Can’t install game


    Hey guys, just joined, having a problem. So I play Dead By Daylight a lot and recently a code for the game came out that gives free content and it wasn't working. So my friends told me to uninstall and reinstall the game. So I uninstalled it, but now it doesn't want to reinstall.

    Like at all. It isn't a download error where it tries to download and stops at a certain percent, no, instead when I click install either from the Microsoft store or Gamepass, it just closes that Summary window once I press install like it's supposed to, but nothing attempts to install. Here is a list of everything I tried.

    - Clearing local cache/saved game for DBD.

    - Hard resetting Xbox. (Like twice)

    - Installing from the shortcut menu, MS Store and Gamepass grid.

    - installing another game, which it does fine, and then uninstalling that game, which also worked fine.

    - i have enough memory for sure.

    I'm really at my wits end with this and I can't call support until tomorrow morning. Thanks in advance for those who can help.

    :)

    Hello, Killertom. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    May I know if this issue happens with all games or only Series S/X optimized games? I ask because Series S/X optimized games will only work on the internal drive or a expansion card.

    In the meantime, would you please try to change your console default install location drive to your external storage?
    - Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide.
    - Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Storage.
    - On the Storage devices screen, select your external storage, then select Install here by default

    Waiting for your follow-up.

    Hello!

    My name is Dérek, I'm an independent platform consultant and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you.

    Snx, your internal storage device must be incompatible with the xbox app.

    Do it here

    If you don't have space, just read the part where it says "repartition existing space" all procedures are in the link ok?

    Create an NTFS partition on the desired hard disk and try to install the game on it

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/cre...

    Then carry out this process

    Let's try this IP and cache cleanup, please

    Type CMD in the search bar;

    Right-click on the Command Prompt option;

    Click on the Run as Administrator option;

    From the Command Prompt screen, execute the commands described below, pressing Enter at the end of each line:

    ipconfig /release <Enter>

    ipconfig /renew <Enter>

    ipconfig /flushdns <Enter>

    ipconfig /registerdns <Enter>

    nbtstat -rr <Enter>

    netsh int ip reset all <Enter>

    netsh winsock reset <Enter>

    These commands are for resetting IP configuration and network-related caches that may be stored on your computer.

    1.On the desktop, press the Windows + R keys simultaneously to open Run;

    2. At run type cleanmgr and click OK to open Disk Cleanup;

    3. In the Disk Cleanup window, select the C: drive (if asked) and click OK;

    4. In the Disk Cleanup for Windows 10 window, select the checkboxes for the files shown and click Cleanup System Files.

    5. After cleaning, check the checkboxes that are not checked again and click OK>Delete Files.

    Let's try to reinstall and repair it.

    Take it easy ok? May be in another language

    Hold Win + I and go to Apps > Apps & Features.

    locate Gaming Service and tap the menu button (...).

    Advanced Options > Reset.

    click Reset and confirm.

    Later:

    Win + X and select Windows Terminal (Admin).

    Enter the command below:

    get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers

    Wait for it to complete, and then type this other command:

    start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

    When it finishes installing, restart your PC and see if the error remains

    I remain at your disposal if you have any further questions.
