unable to download games from xbox app. its asking to change location

Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Advisor, and I'll do my best to help you.

To change the download folder for Xbox Game Pass on PC, you can follow these steps:

Open the Xbox app on your PC.

Click on the Settings icon in the bottom left corner of the app.

In the Settings menu, click on "Storage".

Under "Storage locations", click on "New".

Choose the drive and folder where you want to store your downloads, then click "Select Folder".

Click on "Apply" to save the changes.

After completing these steps, any future downloads from Xbox Game Pass will be saved to the new folder you selected. However, keep in mind that any games or apps that you have already downloaded will still be located in their original download location, so you may need to manually move them to the new location if you want to free up space on your C: drive.

If you are still unable to change the download folder for Xbox Game Pass, you may need to free up space on your C: drive by deleting unused files or uninstalling programs.

If you want to change the install location you have to remove the app and install it on the same drive you want the games you download from it to install to.

Since you think the install location of the games may be impacting their launch (and reading your issue I also think it), then you can try to change the default location where Xbox App install your games.

To specify where to download and install Xbox games on Xbox App, use these steps:

Open Xbox app.

Click the profile menu in the top-right and select the Settings options.

Click on General.

(Optional) Under the “Game install options” section, select the drive to install games by default.

Click the Change folder option.

Select the new folder location to store Xbox games.

Click the Select Folder button.

After you complete the steps, the game files will be stored in the new folder location.

The install location of apps and games that you download from Microsoft Store is C:\Program Files\WindowsApps. So change your Xbox App folder to this path, uninstall your games, install them again on this folder and see if you can run your games.

Hi there Fuzzy 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. This might be an issue with the app itself! 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!

Are you trying to change it inside the Xbox app or at the system settings too?

If you are only on the Xbox app, please try to change the system default location to install games and 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.

If it doesn't work too, please let me know.
