storage on pc with games pass

jordanmore · Nov 4, 2021

On the launcher it doesn't identify my 2nd storage when i go in install but identifies it in settings, I change the main storage but it still doesn't pick it up on installation, any ideas how i can fix this?

:)

Got it. Does this happen on both the Xbox app and the Microsoft Store app?

Could you tell me the specs of your second storage?

How are you?
Can I know if this happens with every game you try to install? There are some games that you can only install in the same place where the system was installed.

hi

Yeah it seems to be every game, it shows in settings that defaut installation storage has changed but on the installation screen it shows the incorrect device

Don't worry we will work on this together. The games from the game pass can only be installed to the default storage or main storage of your PC

Hello, KyleParfitt. 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? The Xbox App only allow games to be installed on NTFS partitions.

- Go to Start > Computer > Right Click the D: drive > Properties.

- In the Disk Properties window, you will see it next to File system.

- If it is FAT32, please let me know so I can give you step by step how to convert it to NTFS.

If it is NTFS, let's try to change the default installation drive for Windows apps:

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 the D: drive using the Xbox App.
