    Gears 4 Downloaded, Failed to Install, Now taking up 133GB's on my SSD with no easy way to...


    Heyo, as the title states I downloaded Gears of War 4 last night on my PC via the Microsoft Store. I downloaded it onto a secondary SSD storage device. After it fully downloaded it began an installation process. It proceeded to become stuck on this step for a full 12 hours. I rebooted my system and the Microsoft Store now doesn't even detect that Gears of War 4 is on my system. Because of this it doesn't show up on my apps list as a game that I can uninstall, despite it taking up 133Gb's on my SSD this very moment. I would manually delete it but Microsoft Store apps are placed into a heavily protected WindowsApps folder with very weird/corrupt permissions. I've managed to delete this folder in the past, however doing so again would also remove all of my other windows store games that I have downloaded. Does anyone have any solutions to this ridiculous problem?

    :)

    Gears of War 4 refuses to install on SSD Error code: 0x80070015

    I've recently tried to reinstall Gears 4 onto my SSD and it keeps failing before it even starts, I can install it on the HDD it used to be installed on but that drive is failing, so now I'm stuck on what to do. My Windows is fully updated and is installed
    on its own SSD, I have two other SSDs, one that has all my games on (Which I'm trying to install Gears onto) and another for basic storage.

    What can I do to solve this problem?

    how to download gears of war 4?

    Hi Charis,

    We suggest that you directly contact the Software Developers
    to download the game (Gears of War 4) and for them to check on the system requirements and its compatibility to your PC.

    Have a great day!
