I have already tried the following solution but it didn't work Press the Windows + I keys together >> Settings >> System >> Storage >> Change where new content is saved >> New applications will be saved in >> Select the drive.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello SolleJr, have you checked if you have the latest version of Windows installed, at 21H2, because recently came out the latest update to Windows 10 and 11.

See which version of Windows 10 you have

Updates often seen as optional, Microsoft released major fixes this week, and make sure you have the Xbox Companion App installed.

If you haven't updated yet, click the link below, update and then make all subsequent security updates.

Hi,

This unfortunately didn't solve the problem.

it's ok thnx 📎

Thanks. I think I know what the problem with this game was - I have a gaming drive (E

and a Windows installation drive (C

. the Xbox app on pc always tries to default back to C: drive even if you set E: in settings. When the game updated and was installing, I noticed it was installing to the incorrect C: drive. I quickly changed this to E: in settings and hoped it would be ok, seeing as only a small amount of data had started to install.

I think that's where it went wrong.

Anyway, do you know why the drive keeps defaulting back to the Windows installation drive (C

for game installs even when you change the drive in Xbox App settings? It's very annoying having to keep remembering to make sure it's changed to the E: drive whenever I need to install anything.

Because of this defaulting the Xbox app also keeps placing an 'XboxGames' folder in my C: root, which I have to keep on deleting before I change the game save drive to E: in the Xbox app settings, so the games are installed to the correct XboxGames folder in E:.

Can you install other games? And have you tried to install this game on another drive on your PC?

Yes, just tried installing another game and it installs just fine with no problems. Tried on a different computer and Halo Wars seems to install on other computers but, not mine for some reason. Does it have to do with because I have a laptop and not a pc like the others I tried it on?

I don't have another drive, but if I were to do that, how can I make it download to a specific drive?

Also when you do a uninstall of game, it is important to RESTART CONSOLE and do a fresh install after, also if you are using a EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE, then try the internal drive and see if any change, if on internal - then try to install on external
drive and see if any change
