    xbox game pass full lag and error

    It sounds like you are having trouble installing games from the Xbox Game Pass on your D drive.

    Make sure that you have enough free space on your D drive to install the games.

    Check if there are any updates available for the Xbox Game Pass app and install them.

    Try resetting the Xbox Game Pass app:

    On your Xbox One console, go to "My games and apps"

    Navigate to the Xbox Game Pass app and press the "Menu" button on your controller.

    Select "Manage app" and then "Reset".

    Confirm the reset and try installing the game again.

    If none of the above steps help, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the Xbox Game Pass app. Make sure to select the D drive as the installation location when you reinstall it.

    Games are installing on the wrong drive

    So the Xbox folder was good enough for a time but not permanently. However, XboxGames is good permanently? I'll trust you on that even though it makes no sense. The old install folder that it was told to look for E:Xbox was still there since I was running games from it. It's just confusing since in 30 years of computer use I've never had a program ignore the folder that it was told to look for and show that folder as the default while defaulting to another location while the folder still exists.

    That has fixed it for now. The problem is this. It had been installing to the E: drive but then stopped without changing the default in Settings. Is this guaranteed to not have the bug happen again? Will I need to make XboxGames1 if it happens again? If so I may end up with 5 or 6 install locations on one drive or need to move every single game every time the bug occurs. That will be frustrating as HELL.

    Hi Metgath, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I am sorry to hear that.

    Please, create a new folder called XboxGames on your E: drive and change the install location to it.

    Let me know if it works!

    I know and agree with you, but this seems to be an issue right now.

    Hopefully, it will be sorted out soon.
