    Unable to access games on both pc profiles


    I have just acquired a pc for gaming and have installed a few games with no issue but when I installed a game from the Xbox app on one profile it is not visible to the other profile and therefore not able to be played, as if it was never installed to the pc. This is incredibly frustrating as the user who is unable to play it is the one who wanted to play it. If you have any answers or tips please share them, Thank you.

    :)
