  1. Xbox app not allowing installs to secondary drive on PC


    I'm going to be beating a dead horse with this one, I know.

    Fresh install of Windows 11.

    2TB NVME C: drive

    16TB INTERNAL HDD

    Both are formatted NTFS with 4096

    I have tried changing it to the D: drive through the xbox app. I have tried changing the default application install path. I have uninstalled the xbox app, reinstalled it and done the same with gaming services. I have tried reinstalling Windows 11.

    I'm trying a slow format of my 16tb right now...but it is going to take a day most likely.

    Honestly, this is the silliest thing to still be an issue, as I'm seeing threads dating back to 2019...c'mon microsoft. In the meantime, does ANYBODY have any other ideas?

    :)

    So I installed a file to the C drive and then attempted to move it in the hopes that it would give an error message....and it did. This is what is happening: 0x80073d13. Which points to a block size mismatch which doesn't exist. I'm at 86% on my slow format. Hopefully that will fix it.

    so am I, i have been an IT professional for almost 30 years now, but I have never had the issue you have and have not seen it neither, having done many thousands of installations and using the Xbox app and configuring for use on other drives I have never had this issue. using a variety of storage media (ssd, nvme, hdd).

    The Xbox app is trash I know that but I have seen plenty reporting the issue but I have never seen it.

    Hello again, have you checked if you have the latest version of Windows installed, at 21H2, because recently came out the latest update to Windows 10 and 11?

    See which version of Windows 10 you have

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/see...

    Updates are often seen as optional, Microsoft released major fixes this week, and make sure you have the Xbox Companion App installed.

    If you haven't updated yet, click the link below, update, and make all subsequent security updates.

    Download Windows 10

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

    Download Windows 11

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

    Also, make sure all Xbox Apps are up to date in the store, and make sure you have the Xbox Companion App installed, it works with the Xbox App.

    did you go settings: storage: :Advanced: where new content is saved: then select your D: drive, this then creates the required folder structure on that drive. if you did, what error did you get.
