    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.

    :)

    Good afternoon

    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.
