    xbobx game pass pc general settings error "there was a problem loading installation location"


    Hi,

    Trying to play darktide today and the update never started. I tried reinstalling xbox game pass, and now in the general settings i get this error "there was a problem loading installation location".
    I can't change that location anymore. the text input field is not showing. only the error message.
    If i try to install a game nothing happens, other than Gaming services is installed again every time.

    I have tried:
    - reinstalling xbox game pass
    - logging in with the proper account
    - resetting app install location for microsoft services (in the settings, advanced app settings)
    - deleting the darktide folder from previous installation, and deleting the entire C:\XboxGames folder
    and any other suggestion i could find online, with no luck.

    Any clues?

    Best,
    Sebastian

    :)

    PC Games Pass Issue, cant see anything - Support is useless, plz help

    I have the same issue.

    The companion xbox console app shows all my games but the xbox app doesn't show my list of games.

    Under settings and General it says ' There was a problem loading installation locations. Try again.

    This issue only happened yesterday.

    Mayne error with the app?

    Xbox PC App installed games are gone and "There was a problem load install locations. Try again." error

    If you are experiencing issues with your Xbox PC app installed games disappearing and receiving the "There was a problem loading install locations. Try again." error, here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

    1. Check for updates: Make sure the Xbox app is up to date by going to the Microsoft Store and checking for updates.

    2. Restart the Xbox app: Close the app and relaunch it.

    3. Restart your computer: Sometimes, a simple restart of your computer can help fix software glitches.

    4. Reset the Xbox app: Click on the Start menu and search for "Apps & features". Scroll down to find the Xbox app and click on "Advanced options". Then, click on "Reset" to reset the app to its default settings.

    5. Reinstall the Xbox app: If none of the above steps work, uninstall the Xbox app and then reinstall it from the Microsoft Store.

    Hopefully, one of these solutions will help you resolve the issue with your Xbox PC app installed games disappearing and the "There was a problem loading install locations. Try again." error.
