    Xbox not letting me change where I want to download


    Hi, I am having a hard time downloading games, it tends to be only game pass games that do this it seems that the file Xbox games is not being created on my D: drive but it is only on my C: drive

    And yes, I went through general to change the default drive, but that drive doesn't have the Xbox Games file so that's the problem.

    :)

    Xbox not letting me change where I want to download

    That's really odd...

    Ashton let's try this instead:

    A. Try installing an app or game directly from the Microsoft Store, after that do this:

    Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;

    Click Check for Updates;

    Click the Download and Install Now option, if available (Install optional updates as well)

    Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services and update everything too.

    Now, sign out from your account on both Xbox app and Microsoft Store and do this:

    Go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair and then reset

    Then do the same for the Xbox app:

    Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair and then reset

    Finally do this:

    Step 1: Open the Run window by pressing Windows + R key.

    Step 2: Input WSReset.exe in the Run window and click OK.

    Step 3: Then a command prompt window will appear. After a few seconds, Windows Store will open.

    Sign in again on both Microsoft store and Xbox app with your account and give it a new try

    B. Perform a clean boot for your pc and try again (in case a third party service is interfering with this)

    C. Create a new local administrator user in your PC and try from there:

    D. Run the SFC tool to find and repair possible system corruptions

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this Ashton

    First, jus to confirm
    Is the desired drive formatted as NTFS?
    Double check this opening file explorer > my computer > right click on the drive > properties > next to file system

    If everything looks good, try this:
    Reinstall Gaming Services using powershell command

    Press Windows key + X and then select Windows PowerShell (Admin).

    Type or copy / past the following command and press Enter:

    Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers

    Restart the PC and Open the Xbox application.

    A blue notification with the following message is going to appear at the bottom:
    "This app needs an extra component. Gaming Services is needed for playing some games. Administrator approval required. Install"

    Select Install to reinstall Gaming Services, once installed check again

    Xbox app failing to download apps

    Alright hey and also how do I change where the Xbox app downloads games because it is currently glitched and won't let me change it. It's set to C:\PerfLogs and it won't let me change it. I don't know why it's set to that.
