    Xbox App on Windows 10 won't let me download games or even shows my install path in settings


    So over the past few weeks being able to install any games off of Gamepass through the Xbox app. I went into the settings after clearing the cache and stuff to see if that would help, but now it wont even let me select a path for games to install to. So right now I can't install any games form Gamepass. As you can see in the picture the box just stays blank even when I click on it. I dont get any errors just the Install button is grayed out for me and I cant click it.

    I have the same issue and I also re-installed the Xbox app.

    That doesn't fix it.

    Hello,

    I may have found a solution. This worked for me:

    1. I uninstalled the Xbox App and ran the PowerShell commands from the link provided by XBF Meryem R. It's the link for the Xbox Support.

    2. I restarted and then reinstalled the Xbox App.

    3. I went to the Microsoft Store App and downloaded a game from there.

    I downloaded Yakuza: Like a Dragon and chose a drive to install the game to.

    4. I opened the Xbox App and tried to install from the app.

    I was then given path files to install the game to.

    You should be able to go to the settings of the Xbox App and choose a default drive to install all games.

    I hope this fix works for you as it did for me!

    EDIT: You might be able to skip all the way to Step 3 and have it work for you. If not, I'd start with Step 1.
