    Xbox app (beta) - Installing games to a secondary drive


    (Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this - this is less of a question and more of a bug report I guess?)

    I've been trying for the past few days to download a number of games from the Xbox PC game pass to a secondary drive, which is occasionally removed, on my PC. This worked fine and the games launch as normal initially, however as soon as this drive is removed at any time I'm unable to do anything at all with the installed game - I can't uninstall, play or verify to the Xbox app that the game is there at all. I've managed to uninstall the game by forcing the WindowsApps folder's security settings, but surely there's something i'm missing here?

    Thanks in advance if anyone can help

    :)
