    Xbox app won’t remember default install location after restart


    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/xbox-app-doesnt-remember-default-install-location/969ae049-8ab4-446b-856a-fe94a225f9cb

    This thread basically. It was never solved. Reinstalled fresh windows 11, it worked for like 1 day and then it stopped working again. App just won’t remember that my default install location is D: not C: after I reboot my computer. All the steps described in that thread wasn’t helpful at all and didn’t solve the issue, that’s why I tried to reinstall windows and try it like that. Seems like it’s clearly a bug. Everything is up to date.

    :)

    Xbox app doesn't remember default install location

    Hi AndreiZhuk1!

    Sorry to hear about what's happening. Believe me, this is clearly not the situation I want you to be in. I would feel the same if I were in your shoes.

    In regard to the issue you're experiencing, it's possible to be a bug since it just changes back when you restart your PC. The Xbox team actually appreciates our feedback and reports/suggestions for them to investigate and fix any issues we encounter. I recommend that you file a bug directly to the Feedback Hub. Check this link for your guide https://support.microsoft.com/windows/send-feed...

    Hi again,

    I have checked and I do not have any pending updates. I have also tried resetting and repairing the Xbox app and I am still having the same problem.

    Hi, Oddezt. I hope you're doing well and safe out there. I'm an Independent Advisor and I’m happy to help you today.

    I understand that you're trying to set up your default drive on the Xbox app. Kindly try to make sure that the installation drive is the same on the MS Store and Xbox app. Delete all files in C:\Users\User_name\AppData\Local\Packages \Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache, and then reboot your pc.

    This will only rescan all your downloaded files in just a few minutes then set up your installation drive, and press the Windows Key + I to open Settings. Click System > Storage. On Windows 10, underneath the More storage settings heading, click Change where new content is saved.

    To change the default drive for new apps, use the New apps will save to dropdown. On the Xbox app, click the profile menu in the top-right and select the Settings options. Click on General. Under the “Game install options” section, select the drive to install games by default.
