On the topic of the app itself - I didn't have a problem with it by itself but I am perplexed by their decision to combine it with the Xbox Companion App which was actually a pretty good one-stop-shop for your Achievements, profile, friends list etc. Weird but maybe it will help someone out if they encounter it. After it did that I was able to uninstall it cleanly from the Game Pass app. Turns out the solution to this particular problem was to go into the Windows Store, go to the updates tab and then find that specific game there and let it "update" which essentially meant re-download. Choosing uninstall would fail and I could never get rid of it. At some point I had cancelled an install midway through of a game, or something happened to it, and the icon was always showing up in my App. The problem I was having was similar to the uninstall issues above but ironically it was the Windows Store that helped me solve it. also i'm sure there is a Powershell equivalent but who the hell knows how to do that. i'm not sure how Windows would translate linux permissions. please be careful though, i wouldn't recommend moving/editing any files in this folder.Īlternatively you could try installing WSL 2 and run something like "chmod -R 755 WindowsApps" but i'm not sure, i haven't tried that yet. Now i can open the WindowsApps folder and browse through it, and i haven't had any issues running any game, even Halo Master Chief Collection hasn't had any problems.

i did NOT check "Only apply these permissions to objects and/or containers within this container".

Basic permissions: everything is checked except for "Special permissions" which is greyed out.

Applies to: This folder, subfolders and files.

make sure the following fields are set:.

in the "Permissions" tab, select your user name from the "Permissions entries" box (this is a list of both users and groups, i selected the user account i made when i first ran Windows, mine is called "nick").

i install all pc xbox games to my D drive, specifically there's a folder that was created D:\WindowsApps that i could not open. So i did this about 6 months ago so my memory may not be 100%, i figured it was a folder permissions issue so i played around with the settings in Windows and it seems to be working since then.

first off, i agree this is dumb, we shouldn't have to fix issues like this with the xbox app. i wanted to just put this out there, hopefully it can help someone. So i was listening to the bombcast and i heard Rorie saying how bad the pc xbox app is, and i've heard others complaining too, i think Vinny had some issues a few weeks ago.
