    Won’t let me change install Apps default drive


    Greetings,

    As subjected when I try to change the drive or default games to install it won’t let me! That happened after resetting my windows 11.

    Problem fixed before by formatting the targeted drive as a result of a file that can’t be deleted by any means “windows apps”

    I don’t attend to formate my targeted drive again is there anyway around it?!

    Please help! Thanks!

    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.

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this Sultan

    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
