    Games don't being recognized


    Hello,

    To begin I have two disk, one which is a SSD and has installed Windows 10, and another one an HDD where I install my games.

    I formatted my SSD a couple of days ago, and when I download the XBOX (Beta) app to play some games which are in the Game Pass for PC (this games being The Outer Worlds, Halo MCC and Gears 5), they don't appear to be installed and only gives me the
    option to install them. However this games were installed in the HDD, it's size is still the same so they should be inside there.

    - The XBOX (beta) app doesn't appear to have an option to locate games already installed, like the ones that Steam and Uplay have.

    - If I am not wrong the games downloaded from the Xbox (Beta) and Microsoft Store are saved in the folder "WindowsApp", so I thought that changing the disk in which the new applications are going to be installed from the SSD to the HDD would help or
    at least delete what is in the existing folder in the HDD and free the space occupied by those games previously installed. But when doing so an error appears with the code 0x80070005 and doesn't let me change that. I looked for the error but none of the solutions
    helped me.

    So I don't know what else should I do, install the games in the SSD isn't an option since it doesn't have enough space for some of them and installing them again in the HDD is impossible because of the error previously mentioned and that I have little
    space left in there.

    :)

    Hello all,





    As this is an old thread, I will be locking this one. Updates, games and everything changes often so would be best to create a new thread. Once a new thread is created we will be happy to assist you in any issues or questions you might have.





    Thanks,

    Brad

    First I would check the MS windows updater for a possible update, then i would check the error code on the support website support.microsoft.com and type that error code in there.

    I would then check the xbox live status of the xbox live support website,

    https://beta.support.xbox.com/xbox-live-status, this should help provide some more insight on what is going on and you can then contact support if you have anymore
    trouble.

    Gamer profile....

    I know some arcade games don't recognize you as being online, it's usually solved by signing out and back into your profile while you're on the main menu of the game.

    How to set up OpenTrack IR head tracking on PC Gamepass games?

    Thanks for responding. I have the app and it works great on Steam with DCS, etc. Apparently it's not being recognized via PC game pass due to the inability to recognize the .exe games as this needs to be inputted into OpenTrack in order for it to recognize the game.

    I'm aware of the .exe files being hidden in windowsapps even though I am the administrator.

    Is there a method for OpenTrack to recognize PC game pass games such as Microsoft Flight Simulator, Forza Horizon 5, etc in order to determine if an IR head tracker is even supported?
