    Windows cannot acess the specified device, path or file when trying to run my game pass games


    Hello, whenever I try to launch any game pass games, I get the error stated in the title. I have tried reinstalling gaming services, changing permision, but I cannot change xboxgames file from read only, since I get error that access was denied, even though I have changed the owner to myself. I have admin permissions. I tried, but there are no updates and I do not have an optional update available. I have tried running wsreset.exe, repairing and restarting ms store, xbox app and gaming services, but I still get this error. I have also given myself full control permisions in the security tab. I tried remaking shortcut, unblocking the file (it wasnt blocked). I only use defender, it hasnt blocked it, but I have set the folder xboxgames as exception. I have yet to find any working fix online

    :)

    2 - Enter chkdsk /f/x/r/v

    The system will ask you if you want to run CHKDSK after restarting the system, press Y on your keyboard and then type "Exit" and restart the computer, it will scan in DOS mode.

    Thank you for replying.
    I have now tried all the methods you sent, but none of them fixed the problem. But I have noticed, that the reason I cant change the folder from read only is because file GWT.exe(i am trying to run ghostwire tokyo) denies my access to it

    Compatibility mode did not work, and when i try to run the windows 7/8 launcher installer it says "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item" But I only have one user on my computer and I am the admin so I don't know what I can't access.
