    I already tried to change the default storage to D drive and the problem still persist. I got this error for most of the games (not all). But I can install Sea of the Thieves (78GB) which is bigger than 56GB shown in error above.

    Regards

    I began having this same issue within the last week or two.

    I have two hard drives with 200+ GB available in the Settings > General

    However, I get the "Change your install options" dialog (same as above)

    I have:

    1. Confirmed I have all Windows updates, including optional ones. The links above in the previous response just Thank me for updating.

    2. Confirmed all Apps are updated through Microsoft Store.

    3. Gone into the Apps list and both Reset and Repaired Xbox and Gaming Services without change

    4. Reinstalled the Xbox app from the Microsoft Store.

    However, I continue to get the same pop-up when I attempt to install games.

    After updates, I no longer received this error.

    The above issue occurred on a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro.

    I was able to "fix" the issue by unenrolling from Xbox Insider Hub's Windows Gaming. I then uninstalled the Xbox app. I restarted my machine. I then re-enrolled back in the Windows Gaming Preview. I reinstalled the Xbox App. I still had the same error, so I unchecked the option to "Ask me for install options on every install." Game Pass Games now install as normal rather than the advanced options under C:\Xbox Games.

    Identifying the issue was seeing the option "This game supports advanced management features." on the 7 games that were already installed.

    Advanced Installation and Management Features available for Insiders through the Xbox App for Windows - Xbox Wire

    In conclusion,

    I believe this is some sort of Xbox Insider Hub Preview issue with the Xbox App because the 7 games were installed without the option of C:\Xbox Games that I had prior to reloading Windows 11.

    Hello,‎AzamAzid,

    I hope you are doing well today. Welcome to the Xbox Community. Thank you for reaching out to Xbox Forums. I wanted to ask if you are still experiencing this issue where you cannot install games to the main (C:) drive? You mention that you can install Sea of Thieves, are other games installed? What game prompted this issue?

    Thanks,
