    Don't worry we will work on this together. May I know are you trying to install the game to the main storage of your PC? Thanks!

    (PC) We couldn't sign you in to Xbox Live (0x80070520)

    Louis, are the affected games installed on a drive different from the system C: drive?

    If that's correct, can you try re-installing one of the affected games on the C: drive?

    Xbox app doesn't remember default install location

    Same issue here too.

    New Windows 11 PC with a 400 GB boot partition with 109 GB free and several NVMe drives with up to 2 TB free but I keep getting error 0x80070003 while installing or updating any game from the Xbox app because they are being downloaded first to my C: drive before being moved to the drive I actually specified the game to be installed to.

    The Xbox app defaults to the C: drive and I can change it to any other drive and it seems to apply but as soon as I close the app and reopen it then it resets back to C:. It seems like a very serious bug or oversight to me because games were installing fine until recently but as my User folder has grown larger and the amount of free space on my C drive has reduced then so have the number of issues with games installing from the Xbox app. I now no longer download any new game or update any existing game from my library that are installed across several drives due to error 0x8007003. I have NO games installed on C; that is used primarily for Windows and non-gaming application installs.

    All my games are installed on other drives from D to O, all of which have at least 250 GB free and several of them are almost empty with almost 2 TB free. Yet I cannot install games to these drives because my C drive is being used instead of the drives I am installing the game to! How stupid is that?

    Flight Simulator 2020 launch issue

    I installed to a different drive, don't have space on C: but it still installed the binaries to c:

    It doesn't ask what subfolder to install to on any drive and there's a few new folders on my x: drive.

    It's very poor given the alpha had no issues.
