    Windows store Cant change default location

    Im trying to download games from the Windows Store/Xbox App but cant install them onto my games hard drive because its not listed in the drop down menu or any other menu choices in the storage settings. The drive works and is listed in "This PC" and in Disk Management.
    I have an SSD installed specifically for games and want to install the games onto it. Here is a screenshot with the games drive (G) not listed.

    I fixed it, by removing all my "d:\game_installs" and Steam_directory off the drive, formatting the drive, and then changing location of windows 10 default apps. it took about 2 hrs to move everything :S theres gotta be an easier way to manipulate microsoft apps and folders than formatting a drive?

    Change default location of where Xbox app install games

    Changing default app location.

    I have Game Pass and want to install a few games, however, when I choose to change the default app location in Windows it mentions it will have to remove existing apps on the other drive.

    C: Is my OS Drive and has all my game modifications on it, D: However is for Steam and other games.

    What exactly will I lose by changing the default location, as it mentions that?

    Winver: Version 20H2 (OS Build 19042.804)
