    Why is "(C:) Unknown available" showing up as "the selected location" for installing Slime...


    I am trying to re-install Slime Rancher on the Xbox app, and when I went to install it, it didn't work and said that it was trying to install the game to "Unknown available". I looked at the Xbox answers page and nothing I saw was the problem. How can I make it not go to Unknown available so I can play one of my favorite games again?

    :)

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

    Hope you're doing great today despite this

    Please tell me:
    Is this happening on Windows 10 or 11?
    When this started to happen?
    Do you know if your system received an update recently?
    And, what did you tried so far to fix this
    In that way I can advise you different things or how to proceed

    It's on windows 11 and it started today as far as I can tell. I tried restarting the Xbox app. and no, I have not gotten an update in a while.

    Default install location set to Z: but only a few games will install there. Most still show C: as the only option to choose during install

    I just took some random games, non of wich should require any ssd. 90% av the games only give me C: as option. On the other hand, no other game app (steam, ea, epic, etc) ever does this.

    Also z: is a 8 drive hardware raid, with speeds that far exceed the c: ssd drive.

    I cant recall wich games i choose to make the screenshots, so i will just choose two new ones so i can also answer with the name of the games.

    The game, Phoenix Point, demanding 34.27GB defaults to Z: and also allows to choose between Z: and C:

    The game, Slime Rancher, demanding 1.16GB defaults to C: and does not show any other available choices.

    Now, if this was an issue where drive performance was the case, then Phoenix Point would be much more demanding then Slime Rancher.

    So I conclude that this is infact unrelated to drive performance.

    And why would almost all the games require installation on C:, ive never encountered a game on steam, ea, epic, or otherwise that can not be installed on another drive.
