Windows 10: changing Drives leads to access problems

This weekend I cloned my 4TB D: drive onto an 8TB drive, then switched drive letters so the new drive would be D:. windows seems to have accepted this in general, but there is one pretty big problem: Game Pass for PC does not recognize most of my library. I have no access to uninstall the games so I can install them again, and no clue where the live on the drive. I don't know what's going on here.


I seem to have had little trouble otherwise. C: was not messed with, Windows still works just fine, and I have had little trouble working with documents the Outlook library, for example, is intact.


some of the games I have lost access to are pretty significant, and even the ones I'm not that interested in anymore still need to be found before they can be removed.


I'm sure this problem has been around. Is there a good solution, and where do Game Pass gamnes even live?


[For clarification, I am referring to GamePass for PC, running on Windows 10.]

Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.
