    Are ypu sure its usb 3 not usb two?.

    You should check the manufacturing specs

    Not.all hds are created equal

    You can get a decent hd checker that will tell you the spec

    Want a way to hide installed game from the list

    Hi,

    The only sure fire way would be to buy an external hard drive, install the game to this device and only plug it in when you want to play it. You could also use the external drive to install other games you don't want the children to have access to.

    This is the only way since it's not possible to hide games. But games installed to an external hard drive won't show if said external drive is not plugged in.

    Can't play apex legends because of this error...

    Could be the external hard drive causing the issue then it won't be the first time I seen errors appearing after updates on external hard drives. Try installing it on internal drive instead if you can?.

    My Xbox Series S won’t sync for gta 5

    Is the game installed on an external hard drive or internal hard drive?

    When you said you'd tested it on the PC, what did you do to test it? Did you to copy large amounts of data?

    Have you tried to reformat the drive on your laptop, then connect to your Xbox?

    No games completely install disc, digital, and demos.
    Okay. Do games or demos install okay to the internal hard drive?

    Does a hard reset help? - Accomplished by holding the power button down while the console is on until it goes off, waiting 10 seconds and trying again.
