    Windows can't find the .exe in any installed game


    Ok, i have had this problem for more than a week now and no one has been able to solve it, im not willing to reinstall windows and format the whole computer for the gamepass i rather stop using it, that being said i'll explain my problem:

    1.- First i had a problem with games that i could not uninstall (60gbs games where the evil within and subnautica below 0) had troubles with the permissions of the folders so i changed the ownership to mine manually, unsucessfull i ended up formating my HDD. Created a new partition to see if i can just format 200 gbs of a new partition if the same bug comes again but now i run into the next problem.

    2.- The problem i still can't fix is this, now that i want to download a game windows is unable to find the .exe on the C: drive, im unable to install games in my E: drive and if i install a game on C: or D: they give me this error

    Things that i have tried with no luck:

    1.- Checking my gamepass subsription

    R-I have it on it expires on 18 of november

    2-Changing the drive where apps are installed from the drive app

    R.- No fix

    3.- Reinstalling and reseting windows store/xboxapp/games

    R- No luck reseting windows store, i tried downloading and installing a game 4 times, all same error.

    One thing that could be is that when i changed the ownership of the C: folder in order to delete files made xbox gamepass unable to use the .exe on the C: drive but i dont understand why would the .exe would be on the C: drive in the first time when i didn't download anything there. The problem with that is that i can't change the ownership back to normal because the default ownership is hidden, if anyone has new ideas or anything i could use it would be very helpful. At this point 3 people of microsoft have tried to help with no success and i don't know what else to do.

    Day by day im just missing days of the gamepass without being able to play.

    How you commented that you do not want to restore the system that is why they have not focused on that detail, since to restore those permissions you must install Windows from scratch

    After moving the game to a different unit does the error continue? Keep me posted please

    its spanish and it says "windows can't find the "GAME" .exe on the C: drive" make sure it's properly written and try again."

    I do think it should be something similar, but im unable to return the ownership to "trusted installer" wich appears to be the default owner of the windowsApp folders, returning the ownership to that should work because it's the only thing that seems to be still like that after recoveries and everything, i just need to find a way to return the default ownership to try that
