Windows 10: Game Pass games fail to install correctly on windows, and crash when launched.

I have my games installed to a secondary drive G:, but have encountered the following issue and cant find a reliable fix -:Choose the game in the Xbox App and install it to G:\XboxGames .. then try to launch. The initial splash screen shows and says launching the game .. but it then closes and returns to the Xbox App. The event logs say the game has crashed.When I check the game folders for the games which fail in this way, they have the GUID as the folder name and not the actual game name. Sometimes I can get it to fix itself by moving the game to another drive, uninstalling and reinstallin
