cant select drive to install in xbox pc app

I have the same problem after the latest update. I have several games installed both on my NVMe SSD and my large HDD. Never had any problems before. Already tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times no luck.

I have tried all the above Steps still i cant install any games because Xbox app cant detect my hard drives while installing, the drives show up in the options to select!! the only games that can be installed are from other stores like UPlay

Another person posted this in another thread.

I followed the directions and it has worked for me.

Once you follow the directions once you click on install it bring up a box asking where you want to install the game.

If you are like myself and use a modist sized drive for windows and use a larger drive for gaming you generally want to install your games on your storage drive not your boot drive, but as it stands by
default when you goto use the xbox beta app it wont allow you to change from its default installed drive.

A easy to fix this is to goto system- then storage- and under the storage tab find " change where new content is saved" then select "new apps will save to" and select your preferred storage drive.

Then uninstall your xbox (beta) app, and reinstall it, now when you goto install a new game on the pc game pass it will give you the option to select what drive you want to install it on.

This issue happens because by default windows needs to recognize that your pc has the folder called windows app on that drive and that it has been setup by a windows app installer atleast once, for the
xbox (beta) app to recognize the new (useable) install location for your games and apps

Hope this helps everyone

1. which drive are the games installed too, it most likely chose a drive with larger amount of space available like D: or E: if these are available.

2. If it installed to another drive then follow below, no need to open any apps to do this, the following sometimes corrects the folder permissions which is the issue you are having.

3. Go to settings, system, storage, then select "change where content is stored", select the drive you installed the games too, click ok then restart pc.

4. go to settings and then to Apps then apps and features, locate the xbox beta in the list and click on it, then click move then select the drive where the games are installed and it will move the app to that drive and usually sorts the permissions out,
Restart pc and then try.

Like i say this is the only way i can think of to get it to work unless you know how to modify security settings of folders in advanced security.
