About Xbox

Xbox is a game recording software built into the Windows system, which supports recording all activities on the computer screen, including the game process. However, many Win11 users recently reported that Xbox could not select a drive on Windows11, causing the game installation to fail. This may be caused by storage settings errors, folder permissions, or drive damage.

There are various problems that may cause problems when choosing different drives when installing the game. We listed the most prominent:

Incorrectly configured storage settings

error in the current version of Windows

lack of authority

damaged storage

The error largely depends on the four problems listed above. If you can identify one of your computers, please go directly to the relevant fixes, otherwise, please execute them in the same order for a quick troubleshooting process.
