    Hello, CattoCookie. Thanks for reaching out. I'm Lucas, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be glad to help you out.

    Where exact is the path of the folder you renamed?

    And what exact happens when you try to download or launch Minecraft? Any error message or specific error code?

    Waiting for your kind reply.

    I downloaded minecraft and are missing the folders

    Hi RosieGlitter09

    When you run the launcher, it will start to automatically download the latest version and place the required files in the application data folder (in your user profile folder) on your PC. It will then launch the game. It does this each time an updated version comes out.

    How do I install Minecraft: Java Edition? – Home

    Hope this helps.

    Bannerlord Will Not Install to Correct Folder

    It sounds like the issue you're experiencing may be related to the permissions set on the XboxGames folder. In order to ensure that the game installs to the correct folder, you may need to adjust the folder permissions to allow the Xbox PC App to write to that folder.

    To do this, you can try the following steps:

    1. Right-click on the XboxGames folder and select "Properties."
    2. Click on the "Security" tab.
    3. Click on "Edit" to change the permissions.
    4. Click on "Add" to add a new user or group.
    5. Enter "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" in the object name field and click "Check Names" to confirm it is a valid entry.
    6. Click "OK" to add the user or group.
    7. Select the new user or group from the list and give it "Full Control" permissions.
    8. Click "OK" to save the changes.
    Once you've made these changes, try reinstalling the game and see if it installs to the correct folder. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you may need to contact Xbox support again or seek further assistance from a Windows or IT professional.
