    installing xbox games on pc on secondary hard drive while having games on first drive


    Hello there
    I got into a problem, I downloaded a game into my default hard drive C, then I noticed I was running out of space, at the same time I wanted to install forza on my other second disk D because I had no space, so the launcher told me to change the default new app location to complete my installation, so I did, I clicked apply but then he asked that if I want to complete my action I must delete all of the apps on the first hard drive C

    any solution to install games on secondary drive while having games on the first?

    :)

    Xbox app (beta) - Installing games to a secondary drive

    (Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this - this is less of a question and more of a bug report I guess?)

    I've been trying for the past few days to download a number of games from the Xbox PC game pass to a secondary drive, which is occasionally removed, on my PC. This worked fine and the games launch as normal initially, however as soon as this drive is removed
    at any time I'm unable to do anything at all with the installed game - I can't uninstall, play or verify to the Xbox app that the game is there at all. I've managed to uninstall the game by forcing the WindowsApps folder's security settings, but surely there's
    something i'm missing here?

    Thanks in advance if anyone can help

    Windows 10 1909 Causes Secondary Hard Drive to not be Recognized

    Installing the Windows 10 1909 Update causes my secondary hard drive to not be recognized.

    Steps to confirm issue:

    • Secondary drive not visible in Windows Explorer
    • Secondary drive not visible in device manager
    • Secondary drive not visible in disk manager

    Steps to replicate issue:

    • Installing 1909 update

    Steps to resolve issue:

    • Uninstall 1909 update

    Since updates can only be delayed for so long, an actual fix would be appreciated.
