    Error 0x80070005 on Xbox App after resetting Windows 10


    I've recently reset my PC through Windows 10 settings, with the option to completely wipe all data on my C: drive - my games on drives D: and E: were intact. After the reset, i can't either launch the older games nor install new ones on those drives. When trying to launch any game, i get the error 0x80070005, no matter which of these two drives i try to install games on (changing install folder didn't matter).

    I tried every option here (https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/games-apps/troubleshooting/troubleshoot-games-windows-10), but nothing worked.

    Hi SKRP
    I’m glad to know that everything is working now.
    Sorry for the late reply, you’re right with the solution

    Even I was going to ask you to try that if the previous thing didn’t worked.

    If you don’t mind I’m going to share the detailed steps:

    Go to windows settings > system > storage > advance storage options (this only if you’re on Windows 11) > where new content is saved
    Under apps select this new partition / drive
    Restart the PC and give it a new try

    So, I've managed to fix it.
    To future users: From searching about error code, I've found multiple posts that discussed this very problem, the solution is changing the default instalation drive on Windows' Settings to those drives in which you wish to install games on, and redo the steps given by Josef, one by one (as in, change the default drive to, say, D:, then follow Josef's instructions (thank you!), reboot, and do it again for how many drives you got.

    After that, I could launch games from those drives.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this Skrp

    Usually when you reinstall the system, the previously installed games aren’t recognized by the Xbox app

    Please try this to see if you’re able to install games again in your D: and E: drive:

    Press Windows + E and go to the drive where game is installed.
    (Do this for the WpSystem, XboxGames and WindowsApps folder)

    Right click on it and select properties > Go to the Security tab and select Advanced:

    Click on Continue in the Permissions tab > Select Change > Click Advanced in the Select User or Group window, then Find now:

    Select your user account and click on Ok > Click on Ok and Apply on every window and close them.
    Restart the PC and add a “.old”
    Your folders are going to be named like this:
    “XboxGames.old” “WindowsApps.old” “WpSystem.old”

    After that restart the PC one more time and verify if you’re able to install games

    Neither - I used the Reset option from Windows' Recovery category on Settings, with the 'Remove everything' option.
