    How can I fix my external hard drive from interfering with all of my games?


    Everytime I would start my game it says it took to long to start. But when I disconnect my hard drive, it would work perfectly. Also whenever I try to install any games the download speed would keep going down and never install fully.

    :)

    How can I fix my external hard drive from interfering with all of my games?

    Hi, Nazima. I hope you're doing well and safe out there. I'm an Independent Advisor and I’m happy to help you today.

    Have you tried performing a power cycle or trying a different external drive to see if the issue remains? You can also try plugging it into a different USB spot. If it only happens when the external is plugged in, you can check the website of your external storage device’s manufacturer for additional support as also advised here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne....

    Game pass downloads

    Do other games you own that aren't from game pass have the same problem? Do you have an external hard drive. If a game I install to my external hard drive is very laggy I will move it to my internal hard drive which usually fixes the problem.

    Xbox issue

    I moved my games from the internal hard drive to the external hard drive to see if my games won't kick me to the dashboard I tried it yesterday with a external hard drive I had never used for my Xbox. My games were never on the external hard drive they
    were in the internal hard drive. Also I downloaded trove and it kicks me to the dashboard as well.
