Hello, I'm sharing this because I'm getting really frustrated. It feels like the next choice is a complete reinstall of Windows. The issue is: when trying to install a game on my E: drive, it just stops and doesn't do anything. In settings, if I pick E: drive as location, it blinks and goes back to C:. It seems to recognize the drive but can't use it. I've tried several fixes—restored Game Services, reformatted E:, renamed WindowsApps, changed ownership, uninstalled and reinstalled Xbox app, deleted registry entries, and even set a different installation location—but nothing works. I used my E: drive before with the Xbox app to play games. Now I can't install new games at all. I only manage to use other drives except E:. A video is attached for more details. Please help.

The drive started as NTFS, then got reformatted to NTFS once more. Everything functioned smoothly without any adjustments. It seems like a software update might have caused the issue.
