Windows 10: Games from Store crashed when installed on SSD

I wanted to install Sea Of Thieves and Forza Horizon 4 on SSD but they crashed with black screen and then shut down. Other games such as Origin or Steam work without problem. I tried to download Sea Of Thieves on my HDD and then moved it to the SSD, the games also crashed and the PC crashed while moving the games.

Microsoft Store Games Crash When Installed On SSD

Hi!

Thanks for reading.

When I install any Microsoft Store game on my SSD the
games crash. I've tried Sea Of Thieves and Forza Horizon 4.

Both go to a black screen and shut down. Other games (Origin, Steam, etc work all the time).

Besides that, when i download them on my hdd and try to move them to my ssd, the games also crash or my computer crashes while moving the games.

Does anyone have any idea what's going wrong here?

My system:

Intel Core i7 - 4770K

16GB ram

Samsung SSD 860 QVO 1TB

1060 GTX 6gb
