Windows 10: Xbox app broken on Windows 11, folder permission issue with no way for user to resolve,...

I had an old installation of windows on this computer. I recently reinstalled windows. The folders on the old drive have some permissions issue. I have my new windows setup and working find on C:/. I can install Xbox games to C:/ just fine.However, the D:/ drive is permanently blocked from being used due to a frustrating bug.It attempts to read the old folder where previously xbox games were installed on the D drive. This folder does not exist anymore. The xbox app simply does not allow me to select the drive. If I click D:/, in installation locations, it just switches back to C:/ instantly.

i need help copying and pasting inside windows 10 app folders and subfolders

• Can you give us the specific locations you are copying from and to?
• Can you take screenshots of what's going on?
• Can you take screenshots of the ownership of the directory you're experiencing issues with?

If you're not comfortable sharing that information, I do understand...but I feel like what was suggested before should've resolved it. Have you tried modifying ownership at the hard drive level? Did you log off/log on or reboot after changing ownership permissions?

Possibly check Event Viewer security and system logs as well, might be something else...but likely you are getting closer to resolving this just don't have all the permissions adjusted accordingly. But maybe more specific details about your issue, where things are located that you're having issues with, etc. will assist us better in telling you what needs to be done to accomplish what you're seeking to resolve.
