When i try to install from the Windows Store Gears of war 4, after getting to 40/50gb my PC ...

I didn't formatted my Windows 11 on any of the formentioned computers. I installed Gears 5 game on an external drive and installed Gears of War 4 on this same external drive.
When I moved this drive to another pc (for working purposes) and moved back to the original gaming laptop the Gears of War 4 disappeared, but the Gears 5 remained playable and intact.

After I installed Gears of War 4 game on the external drive, I disconnected and reconnected it the game remained intact.
If I disconnected and connected to another pc the game disappeared. This game only, other games as Gears 5 remained intact and healthy.

Hey there,

Don't fret, all Xbox Play Anywhere games such as Gears of War 4 play on both Xbox One and Windows 10 PC. First, make sure your Windows 10 PC has been fully updated with the Anniversary Update. You can find Windows updates by searching 'Check for updates'
within the Start menu.

Once you've done that, open the Windows Store and navigate to the Gears of War 4 product page to install the game. You must be signed into the same Microsoft Account that owns the Gears of War 4 license to be able to download and install the game on Windows
10.

Keep us posted how it goes!

Both system is Windows 11, every other application and installed gamepass game remains visible and usable. Gears of War 4 is installed in a hidden folder in Windows Apps, that shows 0 bytes, so the installation method doesn't seem to change after migration to game pass, it still behaves the old Windows Games method.

If I connect my external harddrive to the other Win11 pc, it instantly shows the space used by Gears of War 4 as empty. So the moment exlorer window pops up it shows 100 Gb more empty space.

If I move the external harddrive back to the laptop where my gamepass is installed, now it also shows the empty space, and the Gears of War 4 game is missing from installed games list.

If I reset the game pass application, it shows the game as playable, but there is no game on the disk so game pass cannot start the game.

I don't understand that the problem is a permission problem or the game is deleted completely.

If it was a permission problem why didn't it get resolved when I connect the disk to the original game pass laptop?

I'm having a similar issue when I redeemed the code in everything I never got it a code in a confirmation email or anything but if I go on the windows store on my PC gears of war 4 is in my library but it asks me to purchase it

Hey FlyingSteven,

Are you signed into the Windows 10 PC with the same account that digitally owns Gears of War 4? If so, navigate to 'My library' within the Windows Store app on Windows 10 and Gears of War 4 should be listed in your library. If you don't see it there, your
Windows 10 PC may need to be updated. You can update your PC by searching 'Check for updates' within the Start Menu.

Hope this helps!
