Skyfireblaze Member. Oct 25, 8, It will still reclaim space but likely not fix any installation issues! This guide is really just for these cases where you uninstall a game, it gets removed from the database and isn't listed anywhere anymore and yet you didn't get space back. Also please check the Threadmarks for other important posts! I don't know why this problem happens but it's pretty easy to cleanly fix when it does if you know how to do it.

These games are installed in the "WindowsApps" folder of any particular drive and can't be accessed in normal ways due to the way Windows permissions work. Windows has three layers of permissions: Layer 3: This is the User Layer, these are for files and apps that generally don't touch the system and belong to your own user-account in Windows, you can access and modify them freely.

Layer 2: This is the Administrator layer that you still have to specifically grant permissions for even if you User Account is set to be an Admin. Layer 1: This layer is called the Trusted Installer layer and used to protect the Windows folder, the WindowsApps folders on all drives and various other critical system files and folders and it's also the way Windows Update for example can modify the system.

Generally there is no way to access this level of permission by normal means and for a good reason as when you have Trusted Installer rights you can bypass most of Windows' self-protections and as such royally screw up your system. What you DON'T want to do to fix the problem of games taking up space: Do not mess with security permissions and the ownership of files and folders!

Seriously don't, there is a chance it will go fine but it might also cause hard to diagnose problems later on. Windows has its permissions and ownership set for a reason and there's no need to mess with this.

How to get your space back cleanly: Well we can't access the WindowsApps folder where the game that takes up our space is normally and we don't want to mess with permissions and ownership either so what do we do?

We will temporarily give ourselves Trusted Installer rights and as such sidestep the issue in a super clean way. This will spawn a CMD with Trusted Installer rights, as said be careful what you enter here, Windows can't protect itself if you have this kind of power! Last edited: Aug 23, ShinUltramanJ Member.

NiTE Member. Oct 27, 4, Caspar Member. Oct 29, 1, UK. My current workaround has been to install them on a separate GamePass drive, and just wipe the drive entirely once a year or so.

Transistor said:. Technically, this is nothing more than a command prompt that has the proper rights to delete the folders. There's nothing super in depth to "test" about it. It's still absolute shit that we have to resort to this. LuckyLocke Avenger. Nov 27, Tremorah said:. Jyrii Member. Oct 27, Helsinki, Finland. Installs on other drive might put it under root-folder though if installing on other drives is even possible with Store apps. Oct 25, 14, RobbRivers Member.

Boards PC Not getting full download speed in Steam. User Info: ryan D K 4. User Info: lkman. It is normal, 80Mbps always means 8MB download speed maximum in real life. And it depends on the area you configure your download locations on steam. But it just doesn't make sense. I previously had a connection speed of 50Mbps and I would get Steam speeds ranging from about 5.

But Comcast doubled my speed from 50Mbps up to about Mbps but as I said, currently limited to about 80 until I get my modem switched. I even got a call from them confirming the increase. And yet my Steam download speed hasn't increased. If anything, it's gone down a little bit. My download location is set to Chicago I live about 40 miles from Chicago. I heard it is related to the concurrent users at a time at that download location, not the distances of your house from that location.

The fewer concurrent users use that server, the better the download speed it would seem to be. User Info: mumpsy I dunno, my 1 mbps is working fine on Steam. Hey all! We are looking into getting It Takes Two to the EA app as soon as we can, we'll provide you with an update as soon as it is live. It is appearing now in the EA app and allowing 'Play' members to download. It does not work if you try to install directly from the Xbox App, you must use the EA app at least currently is my experience.

Still not resolved. Xbox Game Pass on PC You can't install it directly from Xbox app nor from the EA one at this point. And can you please try to reboot your PC to see if you can now download the game via the EA Desktop app as normal?

If that does not help, I would recommend some troubleshooting steps. Help us improve Answers HQ! Take Survey No, Thanks.
