Xbox game not installed

Chaij · Jan 24, 2022

Hello.

I have a problem with one of the xbox game pass games. The game is called The Long Dark. I had downloaded the game originally to complete a Game Pass Quest. I played was to load the game and play it without any issues. The problem i have is when i went to try and uninstall the game. The game icon is in my list of games. But when i try to uninstall it the xbox says that it is not installed. I looked through my external hard drives to see if it is on them and i can't seem to find it in order to get rid of the game.

I've tried reinstalling and then uninsalling it as soon as it was down downloading and the icon is still there as if nothing occurred. It is really confusing me how the xbox is telling me that the game isn't installed, when i go to mange the game, and that it is installed, the game loads and plays normally when the game icon is clicked.

So my question here is 'How can i delete a game that i downloaded on my hard drive but the xbox says that it is not on my hard drive to delete?'

:)

Hello!

1- Try to reset the xbox and see if so when you start update the status of the game

2- Go to manage game data and check that it is installed or pending installation.

3- Uninstall the game and restart the xbox

4-Install the games and then install all the updates, be careful not to install any updates before the game.

Hi Seth_111111,

Thanks for your post. I understand you are noticing random games installing onto your Xbox One Console. If this console is not your home Xbox, someone else's profile may be set as home. If this happens, any new games that person installs will then install
on other consoles. To prevent this from happening, you can adjust you settings to not install games remotely; check out this article:

Install games remotely on your Xbox On e.

I hope this helps.

PS4 games have to be installed, same as Xbox One. The installation speed is faster on PS4, but the game still installs.

^That will not work. When you install a game to a hdd, it is applyed to the xbox that it was installed on. Therefore, when you try to go play on your xbox. It will say install game even though its installed to the xbox. This is due to Copyright laws and
to prevent pirating.

Just did 2 Clean installs of Windows 10 1909.

The first install i did all windows updates/Driver updates then installed xbox pc beta game pass then installed 2 games and then attempted to install dragon center from MSI. it installed and then failed to run with the same errors i was getting before.

The second install i installed driver updates and then installed Dragon Center. Configured the system with Dragon Center. Then installed all windows updates, Xbox pc beta game pass and then installed a game and played. Dragon center still worked after playing
the game. once i restarted the computer dragon center was broken with the same errors as before. Something is breaking the program in the xbox pc game pass install.
