    I refreshed my OS and now can't seem to reuse my previously installed XBox GamePass games...


    I did an refresh of my OS Windows 10 2004 x64 and on my game drive Z: I had ~550GB worth of XBox GamePass games installed.

    And here a few issues are popping up:

    1. There doesn't seem to be a way for the XBox Game App or Windows to recognize that these apps were installed there before
    2. I cannot reinstall games on that drive now. Try to do so, it shows a message 'This drive isn't configured for installing games.'. When setting up this drive via Settings->Storage->'Change where new content is saved' i see the following behavior:
      1. change one of the categories to the Z drive, it seems to do something
      2. go back and open the 'Change where new content is saved' setting again, the change was not applied.
      3. So this doesn't work
    3. When trying to move an app that was installed on the C drive to the Z drive i get prompted with the message that it finds apps from a previous 'device' on it and needs to wipe those apps. THis is a problem because:
      1. I don't have the capacity to re-download 550GB of data
      2. I don't remember what I had installed even

    How can this be designed this way? Every time I need to reinstall the OS, I have to redownload and reinstall all 550GB worth XBox GamePass games al over again??


    Is there some way for me to recover the previously downloaded files so that I don't have to download the everything again?

    :)

  2. Gamepass games on PC not working

    I have a valid gamepass ultimate subscription and recently tried to play gamepass games on PC. I downloaded the app and installed Crosscode and The Messenger. When I try to launch the games through the Xbox PC app, the app minimizes and nothing happens.
    When I try to launch the games through the start menu, it just directs me to the Windows Store to download the Xbox App, which shows that I've already downloaded it. Games I have previously downloaded from before the Xbox App came out, such as Forza Horizon
    4, seem to work ok. What can I do to get the newer games working?

    I refreshed my OS and now can't seem to reuse my previously installed XBox GamePass games...

    Xbox gamepass game cause windows store window to pop up with Gaming Service 'purchase' screen

    None of my Xbox gamepass games will run on my system after the latest windows security upgrade from Microsoft.

    When I try to run a game, instead I get the Windows store page for Gaming Services (which shows as being installed).

    Ive tried re-installing the the Gaming Services but I still cannot get the gamepass-based game to run.
