    microsoft store install on external SSD

    Sorry for the repeated messages, but I think I figured it out. It seems like the Microsoft Store doesn't take too kindly to downloading and installing games onto external SSDs (at least the Samsung T5). I did an experiment and installed ReCore onto my flash
    drive and now the game runs. I guess you will have to use an HDD if you want to install games from the Microsoft Store onto an external drive.

    Hope this helps!

    How to find games I've downloaded from Microsoft Store (Windows 10)


    If they are xbox app games they are listed and can be launched via the xbox app.

    For a list of all your downloaded app games, click the store app, click your account photo on the upper right of your screen and click "my library", all your game downloads will be there, you can then click on a game and then click open to play it.
