    D drive is not available for installing game pass games [​IMG]


    When I go to install a game, it only gives me the option to install it on my SSD. If I change where the app installs by default in the settings, it lets me change it to my other drive, but it doesn't do anything. I didn't have this problem last time I got the game pass. I've haven't found an answer yet.

    :)

    Thanks @andersonpassos!

    In my case slightly different.

    I needed only run:
    Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers

    in powershell as an admin

    then when opening xbox games pass I had to _not_ install the prompted extra components and all works well.

    sometimes I'm amazed Windows works at all...

    xbox game pass full lag and error

    It sounds like you are having trouble installing games from the Xbox Game Pass on your D drive.

    Make sure that you have enough free space on your D drive to install the games.

    Check if there are any updates available for the Xbox Game Pass app and install them.

    Try resetting the Xbox Game Pass app:

    On your Xbox One console, go to "My games and apps"

    Navigate to the Xbox Game Pass app and press the "Menu" button on your controller.

    Select "Manage app" and then "Reset".

    Confirm the reset and try installing the game again.

    If none of the above steps help, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the Xbox Game Pass app. Make sure to select the D drive as the installation location when you reinstall it.

    Can't Install Sea of Thevies

    I have had this problem with the game pass for months. I realized the only time that this happens is when I install games to my D drive, but when I install them to my OS drive it works fine. This game pass may be the glitchiest piece of software I've ever
    used. Hands down.

    Installing Games/Apps onto D Drive through Xbox app/Windows Store

    I am trying to install games and apps onto my D drive instead of C drive through the Xbox app and Windows store on Game pass.

    I have set the default drive to install apps to through Windows settings

    I have set the default drive through the Xbox app settings

    I get a notification when going to install the game, asking which drive to install to, and instruct it to install to the D drive

    Every time though, it ignores this and installs to me C drive.

    If I try to move the app through settings, the "Moving" notification and progress bar appears for a split second before disappearing, with no error information, but not having moved the file.

    There are some apps that are installed on my D drive, and the pattern seems to be apps that require Admin approval are the ones not install onto my D drive.

    Could someone try and resolve the issue, as it's incredibly frustrating for a service that is no longer in beta.

    Game pass cant install on D drive

    Thank you for contacting us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    good morning

    Microsoft has released an update to correct this issue. To install the update, follow these steps:

    Select the Start button in the lower left corner of the main screen and select Settings.

    Select Update and Security > Check for Updates.

    Select View optional updates, then select update KB5004476 from the list.

    KB5004476

    Select Download and Install.

    When the update is complete, restart the device.

    You should now be able to install, update and launch games.

    Are you still in trouble?

    Create a notepad file with the following name:

    "RepairGamingServices.ps1"

    inside the file paste this text (if quotes):

    "

    Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers

    Remove-Item -Path "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServices" -recurse

    Remove-Item -Path "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServicesNet" -recurse

    "

    Then, to run, right-click on the file, and run as administrator. then restart windows. then you need to open the Xbox app from Windows 10 that will be warning you that you need to install an extra component for the app, accept and wait for the installation. After that, Microsoft guarantees that you will be able to reopen and download Xbox Game Pass games on Windows 10.
