Xbox App on PC won't allow me to change my installation location to my D: Drive

Found the problem. Had to change the default save location for apps from the windows store from my main drive (C to my game drive (D. There appears to be a problem with the drop-down menu save location. Now it is installing without issue

Nope, that didn't solve the issue. Still only giving me the option for my C: drive. I should note that the app does show my D: drive in the settings but won't save it as a default installation spot but whenever I go to download a game it won't let me change it

Hello, PabloVega. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

Do you know if your D: drive is NTFS? Game Pass only allow games to be installed on NTFS partitions.

- Please go to Start > Computer > Right Click the drive you wish to check > Properties.

- In the Disk Properties window, you will see it next to File system. Please let me know if it is FAT32 or NTFS.

If the drive is NTFS, please make sure you set your default install location to the D drive:

- Open the Xbox App.

- Click on your Profile picture > Select Settings.

- In the Xbox Settings, go to General Section > Game install options.

- Click on the drop-down and change it to the D drive.

Also try changing the default location for new apps in Windows:

- Go to Start (Windows Start) -> Settings -> System -> Storage -> Change where new content is saved (under 'More Storage Settings').

- Change the setting "New Apps will install to:" to the drive you want to use. Restart your computer and see if you are able to install games on your D: drive.

Please let me know how it goes.

Hi Samantha!

Have you already changed your install location through the Xbox app?

Open your Xbox app > Settings > General. Set your location to D drive where you want to install your new games

Thank you! I had a look at the links you posted and decided to try changing the default install location of apps to a different drive. Changed it from D: to E: in my case and then back to D: like I originally wanted, kind of similar to what they did here - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...8aa-958d-41c4421389b4?rtAction=1509849541131.

This seemed to recreate the WindowsApps folder in my D: drive which must have recreated the correct registry keys.

Tried installing the games to the D: drive again and it worked! Hope this also helps someone else.
