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

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello V2joecr , have you checked if you have the latest version of Windows installed, at 21H2.

Download Windows 11

Also, make sure all Xbox Apps are up to date in the store, and make sure you have the Xbox Companion App installed, it works with the Xbox App.

Note: not all the game will be possible to be installed on a secondary disk, many games need to be installed on the root disk because they need the system files to run.

To my knowledge that is the latest version because if I check for updates, I don't find any.




Obviously, I installed the 64-bit version of Windows 10, or I just wasted money on most of my RAM.
wow I finally found a game that will let me install it on D:. that was Halo wars definitive edition. The strange thing is all the other games will let me install them on my external hard drive or C: but never D:. Halo spartan assault, killer instinct, phantom dust, Roblox, & world of warships also offer the option to select the D: drive.

Age of empires definitive edition, destiny 2, fallout, fallout2, fallout tactics, fallout 76, halo infinite, & Minecraft launcher offer the option to install to C: or the external but not D:.

So that behavior does not follow the idea that they need to be installed on C: as all of the above will allow installing to the external USB drive.

Updating all installed apps from the Microsoft store didn't help.

Games will intall onto my C drive (the drive that has WIndows installed onto it), but now I can't choose to install games onto my D or E drive, because I deleted the WPsystem folders.

So after uninstallig Gaming service and Xbox, reinstalling it nothing changed. I went ahead and tried installing the game on my C drive and it would download. so I started searching for "Xbox won't install on D Drive" and found



Xbox (Beta) app don't download on D drive

[table][tr][td]Bos Nuka Knight:Hello, sorry to hear your having problems. Try the following for a fix and let me know if you have any luck.

• When starting the game installation from the Xbox (Beta) app you have the option of changing where content will be stored by selecting the hard drive you want to install to. If you see the message “Selected drive is not set up to install games,” your drive is not provisioned and installation access is denied. To fix this:
  • Either select the link under the message to go to Settings, or press the Windows key and selecting Settings > System > Storage. Select Change where new content is saved.
  • Using the menu under Where apps will be saved to, choose the drive you want.

after changing this setting Xbox no longer gives me the option to install on C drive witch is fine but will now install on my D Drive.
