    Games not showing up: getting "There was a problem loading installation locations"


    Hi,

    I am getting "There was a problem loading installation locations", despite me being able to navigate there in explorer. I have tried all the updating, cleaning, BITS startup, etc -- no dice. I've had issues before where I had to change the INSTALLATION LOCATION back to D: to get them to show up, but I can't do that anyore.

    Any ideas?

    :)

    I understand. Please try installing any game using the Microsoft store app and let me know if the same issue persists.
