    i downloaded sea of thieves 2 weeks ago no issue. now im unable to download any game because it doesnt even give me a drive to choose. when i go to settings and try changing the default install location the drop down bar is just blank. I have 6 drives (ssd) and none appear, not sure why this is a issue now as of a couple weeks ago i never had this problem, please help.

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community.
    My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor

    Hope you're doing great today despite this Jesse

    Additional information is needed, please tell me:

    Are you using windows 10 or 11?
    Do you know if your windows system or any app received an update recently?
    Are you using an insider build / beta OS in your system?
    Or, are you part of the windows gaming program?

    And, what did you tried so far to fix this
    In that way I can advise you different things or how to proceed

    —————

    In the meantime, try this:
    Reinstall Gaming Services using powershell command

    Press Windows key + X and then select Windows PowerShell (Admin).

    Type or copy / past the following command and press Enter:

    Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers

    Restart the PC and Open the Xbox application.

    A blue notification with the following message is going to appear at the bottom:
    "This app needs an extra component. Gaming Services is needed for playing some games. Administrator approval required. Install"

    Select Install to reinstall Gaming Services, once installed check again

    Hi there Paul welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. Unfortunately, tons of users are experiencing this problem, some have found a solution by reinstalling the Xbox app! I suggest uninstalling the app completely! Everytime that it tried to give me a hard time I do this and it works wonders! Here are the steps!
