    Xbox App failed game installation


    A couple of months ago I had a problem with the installation of Sea of Thieves through both the Xbox App and Microsoft Store, resulting in an infinite installation-error loop (0x80070005). I recieved no support back in the day, and I still have this issue. I have also noticed I have a folder in my secondary hard drive disk called A231BC6F-3B30-4C80-919E-DCEA2086E602 that I don't have access to, even with an administrator user. I have searched everywhere and tried many of the common troubleshooting methods other people had, but the only option left would be to format my hard disk and I would rather not having to do that. I can attach screenshots or a screen recording if necessary.

    Moved from ***Windows / Windows 10 / Files, folders, and storage***

    Game Pass installing games by itself when computer is turned on

    Sorry to hear it. If the Beta app is trying to install these games but is failing then please try installing from the Store app

    Keep getting "Installation stopped" - Guardians of the Galaxy

    App says "Installation failed on Xbox"

    Rise of the Tomb Raider happily installing via the app straight after.

    Hello, DiegoRsSz.

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.



    Thank you for taking the time to share your issue.



    It has come to my attention that you are experiencing an error when installing Sea of Thieves: 0x80070005.



    This issue is actually more appropriate to be posted in the Gaming board (Xbox on Windows) and we will move this thread to the correct category where the moderator of the business category will help you further with your issue.



    Thank you for your understanding and good luck.





    Best Regards.
