Won’t let me change install Apps default drive

Hi Sultan, I’m glad to know that creating a new folder fixed the problem for you!
Thanks for letting me know that

Don't hesitate to reach the community forums if you need help in the future
For now take care and have a good day

Thank you, please double check and try this:

Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update

Click Check for Updates

Click the Download and Install Now option, if available (Install optional updates as well)

Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services and update everything too. (Click on get updates)

Now, sign out from your account on both Xbox app and Microsoft Store and do this:

Go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.

After that, click repair and then reset

Then do the same for the Xbox app:

Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.

After that, click repair and then reset

Finally do this:

Step 1: Open the Run window by pressing Windows + R key.

Step 2: Input WSReset.exe in the Run window and click OK.

Step 3: Then a command prompt window will appear. After a few seconds, Windows Store will open.

Sign in again on both Microsoft store and Xbox app with your account and try again

If that doesn't work do this instead:

Reinstall Gaming Services using powershell command

Press Windows key + X and then select Windows PowerShell (Admin).

Type or copy / past the following command and press Enter:

Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers

Restart the PC and Open the Xbox application.



A blue notification with the following message is going to appear at the bottom:

"This app needs an extra component. Gaming Services is needed for playing some games. Administrator approval required. Install"

Select Install to reinstall Gaming Services, once installed check again

Hey there,

Thanks for your reply!

Yes I did formate using windows reset thingy. And yes it is ntfs it won’t even work on D/ drive it is ntfs as well.

As mentioned it worked before when I right clicked on my e/ drive and hit formate that the only way I could remove the old folder and only then the app accepted it afterwards I had to reset windows again the same problem happened and I don’t wanna reformate the drive.

I hope this was clear.

Problem solved! I just created a new folder choose it and it worked.

Did you formatted the drive after or before resetting Windows 11?
Also, please tell me how did you reset the system? Via windows settings?
And just to confirm, this E: drive is already formatted as NTFS?

Double check this using file explorer > my computer > right click on the drive > properties > next to file system

And also double check this:
Go to windows settings > system > storage > advance storage options > where new content is saved
Under apps select this drive

Restart the PC and give it a new try
