    Windows 10 Xbox Game Installation Problem


    I have my setting for installing games under to my Secondary drive D: Problem; The app is storing copies of every game under my OS drive (200+GB) C:\Program Files\WindowsApps essential filling up my free space with redundancy. I am unable to manually
    delete these files without breaking the games installed on my D: drive.

    :)

    Can the Windows Store verify an existing installation of game(s) downloaded previously or from files from another computer? Similar to Steam et al

    Hi there Nor,

    Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, you will need to click the install to download any digital content for PC.

    If you have a Windows 10 device, you can now use the Xbox app to connect to the Xbox Live service.

    If you’re having problems installing the Games for Windows Live app, or connecting to the Xbox Live service, see

    Troubleshoot Games for Windows Live connection problems
    .

    For other gaming options, see:

    Hope this helps.

    Battlefield 5 cannot start the game

    I installed Windows 11 on December 4, 2023. Before the installation, I installed Windows 10. The same problem occurs in the Windows 10 environment.

    Games I have deleted via the Xbox app are not actually deleted.

    Hi ChiefChef,

    So to start off, if you wanna save the new installs to a different hard drive.

    How to install Windows Store apps on a separate drive
    When your computer is running out of space, you want to use a faster drive, or you just want to keep apps in a separate location, do the following:

    1. Open Settings.
    2. Click on System.
    3. Click on Storage.
    4. Under "Save locations," and on "New apps will save to," select the new drive location.

      The below should help you move the items Moving Windows Store apps to another drive

      If you already have Windows Store apps installed on your PC, and you don't want every app from the Store to install in a different location, you can move apps to a separate drive
      using the following steps:
      1. Open Settings.
      2. Click on System.
      3. Click on Apps & features.
      4. Select the app you want.
      5. Click the Move button.
      6. Select the destination drive from the drop-down menu.
      7. Click the Move button to relocate the app.
