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

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Joe, this new HD (SSD) that you have on your PC, they are as primary (C:) or as secondary (D:)?

    This is important because the Epic launcher has to always be installed on the system root disk.

    If you can give more details, I'll be waiting for your reply.

    How to assign game pass games location after Fresh Windows Install

    Thanks guys yeah I've tried that. The installation path is selected, but no games appear in my downloaded tab.

    My games are there but not playable.

    Perhaps I need to be clear that I did a fresh install of Windows. After the fresh install, I reinstalled the xbox beta app. I then selected the folder from my e:/.

    The folder that is on my e drive is not acessable so I can't change any files inside it. Do I need to change something?

    cannot change path for installation

    Hello Rishi, this is Manuela. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user like you, ready to assist with this.

    I'm sorry to hear you're not able to select your D drive as path for installation. Let's try to sort this out.

    May I know if this D: drive is formatted with the NTFS file system?

    May I know where are you trying to change the path for new installations, via PC settings or using the Xbox app?

    0x80070005 xbox (beta) PC changing Savefolder for Apps

    Hi ,

    As there is nothing much we her on the Xbox forums can do for deleting OS files. I will go ahead and move this to Windows for you and see if they can help.

    Brad
    Is this now in the Windows section?

    How can i move the default install path to D?

    C is on a small ssd and has no place for big games,

    Before I restored windows it was no Problem to install all the games to D and i think they are still there but can´t be used.

    Maybe if i can delete the WindowsApps folder, i think the games are saved ther or not?

    Maybe then i could set the Path do D?

    hope someone can help there.
