Installed games not showing up in Xbox App for Windows 10, unable to delete games

Yannick Spinner · Jan 26, 2023

Some games installed through the Xbox App for Windows 10 don't show up in the left hand menu of the Xbox App, seemingly after a recent update. It will ask me to install a game when visiting the store page. In the image attached to this question, you'll see multiple games installed on my hard drive (E yet not showing up in the left menu. Those were still there recently. On the store page of affected games, it asks me to install the game, even though the files are present on my SSD.

To make matters worse, when I try to launch Warhammer 40,000: Darktide through the Microsoft Store, it tries to launch DOOM Eternal but returns the error code (0x87e50029).

I have tried to re-register apps, go into Windows Settings to Repair the affected apps, and tried to repair the Xbox App. I also tried to repair and verify affected games through the Microsoft Store, which does seem to acknowledge that a game is connected to my account.

This may or may not be related, but I also cannot uninstall Microsoft Solitaire for some reason. It disappears for a second after uninstalling and quickly pops back up. Note that before a recent update I had never seen this app in my Xbox App before and did not install it manually either.

Thank you for your time!

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

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Yannick, in addition to the procedures you've tried above, follow the ones below.

Using System File Checker in Windows

CHKDSK

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server...

1 - Type cmd (Command Prompt) in the search bar of the Start menu and then click Run as administrator.

2 - Enter chkdsk /f/x/r/v

The system will ask you if you want to run CHKDSK after restarting the system, press Y on your keyboard and then type "Exit" and restart the computer, it will scan in DOS mode.

Thank you for the quick response!

I may have, but only after the games disappeared from the list. If i change the installation path back to the drive and directory shown in the image, nothing changes.

Hello Yannick,

Regarding your concern, did you change the installation drive for your games?
