The Xbox App is not letting me select the D Drive as a install path

Hi Aiden T.

My name is Mauro and am glad to assist you.

We are sorry for the incovenience, I will share this information provided by XBF-JoannaDark

Solution 1: Play games offline on Windows 10 using Offline mode; this error could also be attributed to issues with the Microsoft store not recognizing your entitlement to the game. Would you please click on this link Play games offline on Windows 10 using Offline mode | Xbox Support. Then scroll down and click on the drop-down arrow and look at the steps for How to enable offline play on your device

Solution 2: Format Secondary drive

Formatting to NTFS is also required for backing up games and captures on external storage devices connected to Windows PCs. IF you are trying to install on another drive, please make sure the hard drive is formatted correctly.

Solution 3: Reset Windows 10 store & Xbox app

1. Open Settings.
2. Go to Apps -> Apps & features.
3. On the right side, look for Microsoft Store/Xbox App and click it.
4. The advanced options link will appear. Click it
5. Next, click on the Reset button to reset Microsoft Store/Xbox App to default setting

Hello Rishi, this is Manuela. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user like you, ready to assist with this.

I'm sorry to hear you're not able to select your D drive as path for installation. Let's try to sort this out.

May I know if this D: drive is formatted with the NTFS file system?

May I know where are you trying to change the path for new installations, via PC settings or using the Xbox app?

Hi, thanks for the fast reply. It was already set in the system settings, and when I select the D: drive in the Xbox app, it allows it but when I close the settings and try to install to the D: drive it still doesn't let me. Any other suggestions? Thx

So after uninstallig Gaming service and Xbox, reinstalling it nothing changed. I went ahead and tried installing the game on my C drive and it would download. so I started searching for "Xbox won't install on D Drive" and found



Xbox (Beta) app don't download on D drive

[table][tr][td]Bos Nuka Knight:Hello, sorry to hear your having problems. Try the following for a fix and let me know if you have any luck.

• When starting the game installation from the Xbox (Beta) app you have the option of changing where content will be stored by selecting the hard drive you want to install to. If you see the message “Selected drive is not set up to install games,” your drive is not provisioned and installation access is denied. To fix this:
  • Either select the link under the message to go to Settings, or press the Windows key and selecting Settings > System > Storage. Select Change where new content is saved.
  • Using the menu under Where apps will be saved to, choose the drive you want.

after changing this setting Xbox no longer gives me the option to install on C drive witch is fine but will now install on my D Drive.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately this hasn't fixed the problem for me. When I go to system, then storage and choose where new apps will be saved to, the correct drive is already selected. Which in my case is also D:

So the drive is correct, however when I select to install the game to Drive D: in the Xbox app, it still fails and gives me that error.
