    When i try to download games from the Xbox app, it shows an error and tells me that both my drives (internal and external) aren't setup for installing games. However, when i move to the new app save locations, i can't change the default app location since it then says that "We couldn't set your default save location." Please help, I already tried resetting and reinstalling my Xbox app, but that didn't help. It works perfectly on Steam just not on Xbox and i can't play my games because i can't install them.

    :)

    Your Windows needs to be activated and Windows Defender too. The date and time must also be set to automatic

    Reinstall the Gaming Services app on your Windows 10/11 device:
    Select the Search icon on the taskbar, type powershell, right-click on Windows PowerShell, and then select Run as administrator.
    In Windows PowerShell, type the following command and press Enter:
    get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers
    In the same window, type the following command and press Enter:
    start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN
    Install the app on that page and select Yes when you receive the User Account Control (UAC) prompt.
    Restart your device and try to install the game again.
