Windows gaming preview feature - Xbox Game Pass "Advanced Management Features" not showing

The above issue occurred on a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro.

I was able to "fix" the issue by unenrolling from Xbox Insider Hub's Windows Gaming. I then uninstalled the Xbox app. I restarted my machine. I then re-enrolled back in the Windows Gaming Preview. I reinstalled the Xbox App. I still had the same error, so I unchecked the option to "Ask me for install options on every install." Game Pass Games now install as normal rather than the advanced options under C:\Xbox Games.

Identifying the issue was seeing the option "This game supports advanced management features." on the 7 games that were already installed.

In conclusion,

I believe this is some sort of Xbox Insider Hub Preview issue with the Xbox App because the 7 games were installed without the option of C:\Xbox Games that I had prior to reloading Windows 11.

Sometimes in the Xbox App, if you "Manage" the game, it'll sometimes have the option to say "This game supports advanced Management Features" and has the option to enable that. It'll then move the game to a folder that does have modifiable permissions that aren't possible in generally installed Windows Store apps. Does it show that option under Manage for the game in question?

ARM processors are designed for low power, portable devices, the exact opposite of gaming. It’s meant for utility, not for gaming. The processor that runs the offline features like managing downloads on the Xbox consoles is ARM

EDIT Windows 11 is adding support for the Amazon App Store, so it’s possible you can run that version of Minecraft in the future, as those are based on ARM. The feature is still in preview

You won’t see anything that requires advanced processing features on it, and very few I’d any games. These are supposed to compete with Chromebooks in educational settings. Xcloud needs certain things supported in the hardware to mitigate lag.

I highly recommend you return or sell it if games are important to you, and purchase an AMD or Intel based laptop or desktop

Hi Zephire14! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

Apps are required to be in that folder in order to work and in any drive you want to install games the folder will be created to install the games, if you wanna modify the files in the folder you have to take ownership of the folder, you can do that following this steps

That's going to be changing very soon. In fact, users can easily sign up to be an insider for the Xbox App and test out the new up-coming installation features that will eventually be available to all users by default.

Without enabling the advanced install features, the default install folder is the encrypted 'WindowsApps' folder. This folder is encrypted and protected, changing the ownership will have no effect on this.

The insiders advanced features option can install supported games to any directory, and unlike the WindowsApps folder, these directories are not protected. Supported games are ones where 'Administration approval required for installation' is listed on the download screen.

Hey everyone!

If you are participating in the Preview Program and are running into issues playing games that are currently available for the backwards compatibility feature, you will need to make a post in the Xbox
One Preview Forums for further assistance. Thanks in advance!
