    this location isn't setup for installing games


    I recently had to reset windows,

    I chose to "keep all files" and "download from cloud"

    Now when I try to install a game from gamepass for PC to D:\

    I get the following..

    this location isn't setup for installing games 06f5c74e-4a06-45af-b80f-74683ba875e3?upload=true.png

    Previously I never had to deal with this entire process.. I just selected D:\ and it worked


    How do I fix this bug?

    :)

  2. Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

    Please try the steps given below and check if the issue persists:

    Step 1:

    Follow the steps below on how to install game in compatibility mode:

    1. Download the game from the manufacturer’s website and save it on your local disk.

    2. Right click on the setup file of the game and select “Properties”.

    3. Select “Compatibility” Tab.

    4. Place a check mark next to “Run this program in Compatibility mode” and select operating system from the drop down list.

    5. Let the game install and then check the functionality.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you.

    Cortana isn´t working

    When I hit enter, it did something, but there´s still no Cortana, even after restart. So I tried it again, but now it says that it failed, because it´s already installed and it´s working in PC. So it should work, but Cortana still isn´t here.
