Xbox App not Recognising I have the Game installed

I did that already but it’s still saying installation stopped.

How can I change the installation location from Xbox app as every time I try and download the game through the app it says that I don’t have enough storage. It’s not recognising that I have an external hard drive.

It's not just bad for friends, it has none of the industry standard features of any of the other apps. Hell, even the brand new bare bones Epic app is better than Xbox companion.

I recently formatted my PC, and wanted to get all of my Xbox companion app games ready, like I had for all my other apps (steam, Origin, etc...). However, the Xbox app, for some reason, can't recognise previous installs game files (like all the other apps
did instantly), so I thought i'll just start the install and it will recognise them then. NOPE, it just deleted all of the game files and proceeds to re-download all of the game files unnecessarily. What a waste of my time.

Good afternoon.

I have a 1TB SSD installed in the back of my Series X, the official one. The setup was seamless as it was when I added one to my wife's Series S a while back.

The issue is that the Game Pass app for iOS doesn't recognise that my series X has the extra storage. So when I am trying to install games via the app I am being asked to make space, when I have tons left.

No such issues with the series S, the extra space is recognised.

Yes. You can back up/move any of your games on the SSD to the HDD (as long as you have the required space). This will not affect a clean install of Windows on the SSD. It doesn't matter if the driver is internal or not.

Unfortunately some games installed via the Xbox app may not be recognised after a clean install. There should be no such issues with games installed via Steam, Epic, GoG etc.

I have the same issue:

* the plain Xbox controller (non elite) connects via bluetooth to the TV and is recognised by the Xbox cloud app on my Samsung TV. I can use it to play games using the Samsung Xbox app.

* the brand new Xbox Elite Series 2 controller connects via bluetooth to the TV and is NOT recognised by the Xbox cloud app.

I tried several attempts deleting the pairing, re-pairing. Turn off TV on the power switch. Re-installing the Xbox app on the Samsung TV.

The result is always the same:

* The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller connects successfully to the TV and is shown as Paired and Connected in the Samsung TVs feature where you add external devices.
* But the Xbox app shows the yellow ! exclamation mark and does not recognise the Elite Controller.

I’ve paired my other non Elite standard Xbox controller now vie Bluetooth and USB, which works both.
