Win10 Xbox app: "change folder" setting not available right after loading app. Takes...

Running Win10 LTSC so no Xbox app. Also changing accounts in the launcher makes only the demo available. Thanks for the info though.

resetting windows or re installing renders all xbox app games inoperable as the folder is encrypted to that one install of windows.

you have to re download all the xbox app games again.

go setting, storage, location and change it to that drive this should then state there is a folder there and it will be removed.

if not google remove windows app folder from drive as you have to take ownership to remove it.

Thanks for sharing this tip, JohnBlaze13!

Hi, I've just had this same issue, and with no idea why this error popped up, I contacted Microsoft support and a support agent got the app to work for me, I followed these steps.

How to fix the error in the Xbox app when you can’t install or choose a drive or different drive from where you’d like to download/install a game



Open: - “registry editor” and go to this path: -



Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\xinputhid



and delete the two folders: - “parameters” – “state” -

now close regedit, and open up the "settings app", and go to "app's" - "installed apps" - "search apps" - enter "xbox" - now click on the three dots and click on "advanced options" - now click on "terminate" now once that's done click on "repair" - once that's done - click on "reset" - open the xbox app again and see if you can now select which drive to install you're game onto, apprarently this is a bug within Windows 11.

If you don't want to follow these steps contact Microsoft through windows its self - click search and type in "get help"
