Xbox Windows App not letting me download games to my D: Drive

I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

Check if you can install the games through the Microsoft Store app, if it doesn't work launch PowerShell as an administrator and enter

“get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers”

Restart your PC, open PowerShell as admin again, and enter

“start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN”

The Microsoft Store will open and ask to install Gaming Services, install. Then try installing any game again.

It still wont let me download anything to my D drive. even in the settings when I select the D drive i get no option to select a folder with it like I do with the C drive. I'm also on windows 10 if that has anything to do with it.

When I tried to download it directly from the store I looked at my queue and the gamebar and a couple other game related assets needed to be updated, so I did that, then I installed gamepass ultimate for PC and now Gears 5 is downloading for me, a;so be
sure your windows is updated fully to the latest version.

Also make sure your drive has enough room, the store defaults to C:, which for me is my SSD drive, had to use the gamepass app to install it to D.

Is this the same app for the app for xbox gamepass? if so, how do you download it for the computer? I cannot have it install to my D drive for some reason. I have it in settings to default to my D but nothing happens and I cannot install it.

So after uninstallig Gaming service and Xbox, reinstalling it nothing changed. I went ahead and tried installing the game on my C drive and it would download. so I started searching for "Xbox won't install on D Drive" and found



Xbox (Beta) app don't download on D drive

[table][tr][td]Bos Nuka Knight:Hello, sorry to hear your having problems. Try the following for a fix and let me know if you have any luck.

• When starting the game installation from the Xbox (Beta) app you have the option of changing where content will be stored by selecting the hard drive you want to install to. If you see the message “Selected drive is not set up to install games,” your drive is not provisioned and installation access is denied. To fix this:
  • Either select the link under the message to go to Settings, or press the Windows key and selecting Settings > System > Storage. Select Change where new content is saved.
  • Using the menu under Where apps will be saved to, choose the drive you want.

after changing this setting Xbox no longer gives me the option to install on C drive witch is fine but will now install on my D Drive.

I am trying to install games and apps onto my D drive instead of C drive through the Xbox app and Windows store on Game pass.

I have set the default drive to install apps to through Windows settings

I have set the default drive through the Xbox app settings

I get a notification when going to install the game, asking which drive to install to, and instruct it to install to the D drive

Every time though, it ignores this and installs to me C drive.

If I try to move the app through settings, the "Moving" notification and progress bar appears for a split second before disappearing, with no error information, but not having moved the file.

There are some apps that are installed on my D drive, and the pattern seems to be apps that require Admin approval are the ones not install onto my D drive.

Could someone try and resolve the issue, as it's incredibly frustrating for a service that is no longer in beta.
