  1. Xbox games .exe location on Windows 11?


    Hello, I'm trying to find the .exe for a game pass game, Deep Rock Galactic to put in steam as a non-steam game. I found that it was in the Windows apps folder at least on Windows 10 but when trying to open it it said "You don't currently have permissions to access this folder." When trying to give myself permissions I am not the administrator it still would not work. I tried putting in the admin password, which brought me to the Security tab of the properties menu, but changing the owner to me and trying to change the "Account unknown" properties did not work. Trying on the administrator

    remove game data from xbox game in windows 10

    I appreciate your reply. It seems that the game progress was saved to your Xbox account associated on your computer that's why you can't play the game from the beginning. I recommend that you remove the account on your computer by performing the following
    steps:

    1. Press the Windows icon, then select the gear icon to access Settings.
    2. Select Accounts.
    3. Under Email & app accounts, click the Microsoft account, then click Remove.

    I also suggest that you reset the Xbox app on your computer so that we could ensure that no account is linked to it. To get started, kindly follow these steps:

    1. Press the Windows key, then select the gear icon to access Settings.
    2. Go to Apps.
    3. Under Apps & features, locate the Xbox app.
    4. Click the Xbox app, then select Advanced options.
    5. Click Reset.

    Let us know if that works for you. We'd be glad to further assist you.

    Xbox games icons break when moved, Windows 11

    I tried the above steps with the same result, moving the icon would break it.

    Recreating a shortcut in windows 11 has changed? Right click does not give the option, only pin to start or taskbar. You cant right click drag and create shortcut from start anymore either. Also being Xbox games, the exe in the game folder does not have the icon. Like I said, these seem to be some kind of web link shortcut. Not a standard shortcut.

    This was a fresh install, default everything. I did end up downloading Windows 11 MCT again and reinstalling windows 11 to try and resolve....but.

    While this temporality repaired all icons, moving them back to the desktop results in the same thing, its like these icons where made incorrectly by the Xbox software.
