    I tried to change where the games are downloaded for my game pass on pc, why can't i?


    I'm actually in utter shock that a company as big as Microsoft has failed to even allow me to download games to my HDD instead of my SSD. I've never seen this level of incompetence, JUST LET ME CHANGE THE DOWNLOAD FOLDER WHY DO I HAVE TO UNINSTALL EVERY
    APP. **** MICROSOFT WHYYYYYYYYYY. I was going to buy a bunch of games for Christmas but looks like i'm going to steam because they actually let you CHOOSE WHERE TO DOWLOAD EACH GAME SEPARATELY. I have no room on my SSD why would i download everything there
    and why is that default? i have so many questions..

    :)

    Can't redeem game pass code

    I curently have game pass and I live in Romania (where game pass can't be activated)
    I managed to change the location and billing adress of my Microsoft account. I don't see why this would be the problem for not being able to redeem the code.

    xbox games pass ultimate not working on PC xbox app

    I have the same problem. I can go to the microsoft website and get The Outer Worlds but it will only lead me to the Microsoft Store where i cannot download it. It will say get the game pass for pc while i got the ultimate game pass... Really wondering
    why this is so broken when the website says i can download it but the microsoft store says i can't. It is the same account and all billings are paid. This goes for every game pass game. Hope for a quick fix!

    Sea of thieves on Xbox Game Apps - Joining a Steam lobby failed

    Hello Josef, nice to meet you :)

    I don't have the game pass ultimate, just the PC game pass.
    I tried the game on my other computer and the invitations are working, but I can't play the game as it's a very old portable computer, the game is freezing etc ^^'
    That's why I don't understand why it's not working on my gaming PC.

    First, we made sure that my friends were inviting me through the Xbox Game Bar using my Xbox account and not steam.
    We tried to clear my Xbox Live credentials.
    We made sure that SoT wasn't installed via steam before on this current PC (never had SoT on steam yet anyway).
    And finally, we tried a full clean installation of SoT using the "CleanUpCorruptInstalls" tool.

    Thank you.
