Installed a new boot drive and now game pass doesn't see my installed games.

Hi Kathy

Thanks for your response, I'd tried all the solutions mention before posting this with no luck.

I should've mentioned, I'm using multiple drives, the drives had xbox game pass games installed from my old computer on them.

Deleting the windowsapps folder, as well as the other windows folders that are created automatically when installing a new app/game. Seems to have allowed me to install games on my E drive, though my G drive still doesn't seem to able to install new games from the xbox app.

I might just have to format my G drive, though could you tell me what the process is if you're moving a drive, with game pass games installed, on to a new computer?

Kind Regards

Jamie

I fixed this by un-installing XBox, and re-installing it on my C: drive. Then re-installing all my XBox Pass games on the same drive (different partition). This solves the problem - and is better than turning the Storgae Service off before rebooting, then re-enabling once boot has completed.

There is a problem with the Windows Store, and XBox Pass Games - if you have any games/app installed and you install them on a different drive, (not just a different partion but a differrent partition and drive) then that drive may not be awake/initialized when Windows first boots up and ready when you log in. When you log in quickly from the log in screen after a reboot, the drive with the apps/games is not acecssible yet, and you get a flickering task bar until the drive is initialized, then Windows continues normally. If you turn off the Storage service, when you boot up and log in, Windows doesnt try to access that disk at all (with the games and apps on it), therefore you dont get the problem. If you install all the store apps and xbox games on the same drive as the System (same drive as your windows partition eg C:, by using either the same partiion or a different partition) then everything works as expected and the drive is accessible, and you can have your games away from the C: partition - which reduces the size of backing it up.

i probably didn't phrase that very well ill try again

i have been getting this error with any new games i install on game pass file system error (-2015294512). it only happens on new games i install the the game i have had installed for a while are fine just the new ones it started when i got a new drive and installed games on that but now i just get said error on both drives (edited)

Another person posted this in another thread.

I followed the directions and it has worked for me.

Once you follow the directions once you click on install it bring up a box asking where you want to install the game.

If you are like myself and use a modist sized drive for windows and use a larger drive for gaming you generally want to install your games on your storage drive not your boot drive, but as it stands by
default when you goto use the xbox beta app it wont allow you to change from its default installed drive.

A easy to fix this is to goto system- then storage- and under the storage tab find " change where new content is saved" then select "new apps will save to" and select your preferred storage drive.

Then uninstall your xbox (beta) app, and reinstall it, now when you goto install a new game on the pc game pass it will give you the option to select what drive you want to install it on.

This issue happens because by default windows needs to recognize that your pc has the folder called windows app on that drive and that it has been setup by a windows app installer atleast once, for the
xbox (beta) app to recognize the new (useable) install location for your games and apps

Hope this helps everyone

I use a WD My Passport Ultra 2gb. A "portable" drive has the advantage of being powered by the USB connection itself, instead of a desktop style drive that needs to be plugged into a power outlet of it's own. I transferred all currently installed content
to the portable, and now install all new content directly to it. It definitely makes a difference in game booting and loading.
