    Can't install a game after my SSD broke


    I had Sea Of Thieves installed on SSD drive that broke. I removed the drive.Now Microsoft Store says its still installed and gives me option to "install again" which opens Sea Of thieves tab in Xbox app.After clicking "install with gamepass" in Xbox app it shows the grey button for installing, but after few seconds it jumps to 100% and i get notification in xbox app "Game succesfully installed. Click here to play!". Nothing happens after pressing it and Xbox app doesnt show it as installed.

    :)

    Installing games with Windows Game Pass Missing SSD?

    Ive just got the gamepass for windows and am trying to install games onto the SSD drive I use for games. The problem is my Games SSD isnt listed, my other 2 SSDs and a WD Black hard drive are in the list though.

    The ssd works and is listed in disk management, but if I got into the windows settings and storage it isnt listed there either.

    Can anyone tell em why this is or whats going on please?
