    I have tried formatting it as NTFS but nothing will work..

    This is a problem because some games require the XboxGames folder to be set

    Thanks for the update, I'm glad to hear that you are able to use the drive as expected

    I found this strange, due to I can use D: drive in my PC to install game

    May a program or any system process is using internally that letter

    But at least you can install games again

    Hello Josef! Thank you, but i think i may have found the solution!

    It seems the Xbox app doesnt work exclusively with the D: drive, I reformatted the drive in disk management to the letter G: and it works perfectly fine now!

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this TheEagleDev

    Some game doesn't support custom folder installation.

    If you select your D: drive, the system is going to create automatically the XboxGames (or WindowsApps) folder.

    Looking your picture, you created a custom folder called XGames.

    Please proceed with the game installation and see if the XboxGames folder is created automatically on D: drive

    I'm trying to install the minecraft launcher and its not letting me do it.

    Thank you for the screenshot Pedro, please try these steps:

    Open File Explorer and go to your C drive. Create a folder called "XboxGames". Open the Xbox app, click your account in the top left and open the settings. Go to Install Options. Where it says 'Change where this app install games by default', make sure it's set to the C: drive. Under this option, it should allow you to change or select the folder where games will be installed to. Set it to the XboxGames folder you created previously. If you don't see these options, please provide a screenshot of this settings menu.

    Let me know if this helps.

    Thanks,
    Kyle

    Unable to launch any games, stop install, or continue install

    Thank you for your help but I was able to solve the problem by renaming the "xboxgames" folder in my hard drive in safe mode which then made a new xboxgames folder with nothing in it besides the normal files that I was able to copy the game files from the original folder to not have to reinstall anything.
