Windows 10: Games installed with the XBOX app say they are incompatible with Windows 11

Any game I install through the XBOX app using game pass will not run.The above example is Atomic Heart but I get this on every game installed to C:\Games\Xbox. Installation directory is a new SSD mounted as a folder C:\Games\ in a folder called Xbox. This SSD works perfectly so the drive is definitely not the problem. I run games from other launchers from C:\Games without a problem.Even with my admin privileges, I can't access this C:\Program Files\WindowsApps folder.I suspect this is a problem with the Xbox app installation process when you use a directory that is not the generic drive dire

remove game data from xbox game in windows 10

I appreciate your reply. It seems that the game progress was saved to your Xbox account associated on your computer that's why you can't play the game from the beginning. I recommend that you remove the account on your computer by performing the following
steps:

1. Press the Windows icon, then select the gear icon to access Settings.
2. Select Accounts.
3. Under Email & app accounts, click the Microsoft account, then click Remove.

I also suggest that you reset the Xbox app on your computer so that we could ensure that no account is linked to it. To get started, kindly follow these steps:

1. Press the Windows key, then select the gear icon to access Settings.
2. Go to Apps.
3. Under Apps & features, locate the Xbox app.
4. Click the Xbox app, then select Advanced options.
5. Click Reset.

Let us know if that works for you. We'd be glad to further assist you.

 

Xbox app and Xbox game bar issues on windows 10 persist to windows 11

Hi ET. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, specializing in Installation, Performance, Troubleshooting and Activation, here to help you.

Are you on Version 21H2 after running the Repair Install? Did the Game Bar queued in Store go away?

If so uninstall all Xbox apps in Settings > Apps > Apps & Features.

Then reinstall Xbox app, restart again, the reinstall the other Xbox apps, from MS Store Library.

Please report back results for all steps given so I know what else to suggest if necessary.
