  1. Unable to install games, gets error 0x00000001 or no option to choose external device.


    I bought xbox game pass for playing games, but my internal ssd didn't have space. There was no option to install games in my external hdd, the external hard drive is not showing in xbox app while installing game like forza horizon 5, ascent etc. I searched internet and tried some solutions, in many those only one solution worked but now I have new problem. The solution was to delete some registry values and get updates in MS store and reboot my pc, it worked fine, now the xbox app shows my external hard drive as well but when I try installing, game it showed error 0x00000001. Before that at least the game started downloading in ssd even though I wanted to install in hdd which wasn't recognized in xbox app. Now I got option to install in both sdd and hdd but couldn't install because of error. So I searched internet again to solve error 0x00000001 and found some solution in which only one worked again. That is to reset gaming services in settings. But now the hdd is not showing in options. The situation is like if i solve one problem by the solutions, gives another problem. I don't want to install my games on ssd, i want to install only my external hard drive. Anyone please give me solution that solves both problems. I tried all the things like resetting apps and services, updating windows and apps deleting some registry, Changing storage settings, xbox app settings etc

    Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    Please try the following:

    Step 1

    - Type Troubleshoot in Windows search and press Enter

    - If you can't see troubleshooters, click the Additional troubleshooters option on the right

    - Here, find Windows update section

    - Click Run the troubleshooter and wait till the process is finished.

    Step 2

    - Type Services in Windows search and hit Enter

    - In the new Windows, scroll down till you find Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)

    - If the service is running, right-click and select Restart

    - If not, right-click and select Start

    - Do the same with Windows Update service.

    Step 3

    Press Win + REnter the following and hit Enter:

    regsvr32 Qmgr.dll /s

    Open the Run dialog again and run the following command:

    regsvr32 Qmgrprxy.dll /s

    Step 4

    For this fix to work, you would have to find another Windows 10 machine of the same version (Home/Pro/Enterprise). If you have access to such a machine, do the following:

    - Access another computerType regedit in Windows search and press Enter

    - If User Account Control shows up, click YesNavigate to the following location:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\TrustedInstaller

    - Right-click on the branch and select Export

    - Choose the location, name the file trustedinstaller and click Save

    - Transfer the file to your computer

    - Once the file is on your desktop, double-click the trustedinstaller.reg to merge it with your own registry

    - Restart the PC and try updating Windows again.

    Step 5

    If none of the above helps, you can repair your Windows installation without losing files or installed apps. Here's how to do it:

    - Go to the official Microsoft website and download installation files

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...(press Download tool now)

    - Once downloaded, double-click the setup.exe

    - Accept License and Terms, select Upgrade this PC now, and click Next

    - After the necessary files are downloaded, choose Keep personal files and apps

    - Click Install (make sure that all apps are closed and not running before doing this)

    - Your PC will restart and installation finished
