Problem with installation of PC Game Pass Games on disk D:

Hello, PabloVega. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

Do you know if your D: drive is NTFS? Game Pass only allow games to be installed on NTFS partitions.

- Please go to Start > Computer > Right Click the drive you wish to check > Properties.

- In the Disk Properties window, you will see it next to File system. Please let me know if it is FAT32 or NTFS.

If the drive is NTFS, please make sure you set your default install location to the D drive:

- Open the Xbox App.

- Click on your Profile picture > Select Settings.

- In the Xbox Settings, go to General Section > Game install options.

- Click on the drop-down and change it to the D drive.

Also try changing the default location for new apps in Windows:

- Go to Start (Windows Start) -> Settings -> System -> Storage -> Change where new content is saved (under 'More Storage Settings').

- Change the setting "New Apps will install to:" to the drive you want to use. Restart your computer and see if you are able to install games on your D: drive.

Please let me know how it goes.

Your D: drive is NTFS, right? If so, please try to change the folder permission on your E drive:

Press Windows + E and go to the drive where you want to install the games (in your case, it’s the D: drive).

Locate the XboxGames folder. If it's not there, you can create it. Right-click on it and select Properties.

Go to the Security tab and select Advanced.

Click on Continue in the Permissions tab.

Select Change.

Click Advanced in the Select User or Group window, then Find now.

Select your user account and click on Ok.

Click on Ok and Apply on every window and close them.

After making the changes, restart the computer and check if you can now save the games to the selected drive.

Hi John,



I installed Xbox Desktop using a PC.

When I installed the game for the first time, I directly chose slot D. After this happened, I wondered if the problem was caused by the change of the hard disk, so I reinstalled it in slot C for the first time, but the situation was still the same, I decided to install it back to the D slot again, after all, the D slot has a relatively large space.
