Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

First, welcome to the Xbox community.

We appreciate your coming to the Xbox community, and we're sorry you're having this issue. According to the error code, you reported I recommend you to try the solution below, please.

1. Open Settings ---> System

2. In the left column, choose the Storage tab and choose "Change where new content is saved"

3. Change "New apps will be saved to:" to any desired drive (in my case D drive)

4. Wait 2 minutes and restart your PC.

5. The Microsoft Store has now created the necessary folders for the Xbox app to use.

6. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to change your location back to default if desired.

7. Now you can download your games from the Xbox app to your desired drive/partition

*Thank you in advance for contacting, I hope this can help you.

Thank you! I had a look at the links you posted and decided to try changing the default install location of apps to a different drive. Changed it from D: to E: in my case and then back to D: like I originally wanted, kind of similar to what they did here - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...8aa-958d-41c4421389b4?rtAction=1509849541131.

This seemed to recreate the WindowsApps folder in my D: drive which must have recreated the correct registry keys.

Tried installing the games to the D: drive again and it worked! Hope this also helps someone else.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately this hasn't fixed the problem for me. When I go to system, then storage and choose where new apps will be saved to, the correct drive is already selected. Which in my case is also D:

So the drive is correct, however when I select to install the game to Drive D: in the Xbox app, it still fails and gives me that error.
