    PC Gamepass game won't install


    I've had pc gamepass for a while, and I wasn't managing my storage correctly so I installed ARK to a external harddrive. Now I can't find that harddrive and I want to download the new pack. However, once I try and install it'll wait a minute and the microsoft store notification will appear and say "[insert ark game/dlc] has just been installed, check it out now!" but it won't install. Anyone know how to fix this?

    :)

    I've tried all of these besides for the ISO file because I couldn't figure it out and it doesn't work. Do you know anymore fixes? Thanks

    I managed to get it to work by just installing it through the Microsoft store, thanks for the help though!

    The ISO file, you will open it > launch the Setup.exe > then upgrade > cloud > keep files and games, and that's it. :)

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

    My name is Vinicius.

    I am a gamer and independent advisor on the XBOX community platform.

    Hey HLast, how are you today? Hope you're well.

    HLast, try to change the location where the games are installed:

    Open Settings on Windows 10.

    Click on System.

    Click on Storage.

    Under the “More storage settings” section, click the Change where new content is saved option.

    Use the New apps will save to drop-down menus to select the new default location for apps.

    Click the Apply button.

    Then, restart your PC, and try to install it again, if it doesn't work, try this:

    So, let's try this, first, make sure your windows and all its services are up to date:

    Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;

    Click Check for Updates;

    Click the Download and Install Now option, if available;

    Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services.

    ______________________________________________________________

    Then try this:

    Go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair and then restore, open the app and try again.

    Then do the same for the Xbox app:

    Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair and then restore, open the app and try again.

    ______________________________________________________________

    Then, try to uninstall and install the Xbox app. :)

    ______________________________________________________________

    If it still doesn't work you're going to uninstall the games services using a powershell command.

    In the windows search bar type Powershell > Right click and select open as administrator > Type the command: "get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-Appxpackage –allusers" > Wait for the process to finish and then restart the PC, then open your Xbox gamepass app, it will ask you to install the gaming services again, install it and try again.

    Then, after you do it, you're going to open the game pass app, it will ask you to download and install the game services again

    ______________________________________________________________

    If neither of those procedures works, try to restore your PC's OS via the ISO image tool, using that tool you will be able to maintain your installed games and files.
