  1. XBox app wont let me select drive to save game in.


    I have 2 drives on my PC: Drive C (windows installation drive) and Drive D my general drive for photos and games for EA,Epic,Steam.

    Problem is that the Xbox app says my D drive is not formatted to NTFS which it is. Tried all workarounds changing installation of apps drive, reset,repair etc and nothing seems to work. My D drive is an HDD and my installation drive is M.2 ssd. which is just used as my windows drive and i dont save or have room on that to install games.

    Can anyone who has had this problem or Microsoft change this to allow me to store my games on the drive i want to.

    :)

    Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    First, welcome to the Xbox community. I'm sorry you're having this problem.

    Before we try any different solutions, please check if your windows is updated to version 21h1, if not update it.

    To update your windows follow the instructions below.

    Select the Start button and then go to Settings > Update and Security > Windows Update

    *If the problem persists, try the solutions below.

    Solution 1:

    Open RegEdit as an administrator and delete the following Services:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServices]

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServicesNet]

    PC reboot

    Install gaming service like you would normally

    Solution 2:

    Go to your windows settings, go to the tab>applications and resources>Search for Gaming Services, click on it, go to advanced options, and tap repair.

    *If it doesn't work, try the alternative below.

    Download the Create Windows 10 installation media application from the link below, at the end of the download run the application, and then follow the instructions given by the program at the end click on upgrade.

    May I know if you already have selected the drive to save new content?

    Double check this via Windows Settings > System > Storage > Advance storage settings > where new content is saved > under apps select the D: drive

    Now open the Xbox app go to Settings > General > See if you can select now the D: drive

    ----

    If not, try installing a game or app from the Microsoft Store directly and the check again the Xbox app.

    Let me know how it goes
