[SOLVED] Not able to resume download or even re-download game on Xbox Game Pass for PC ?

[mahuse]

I started downloading forza horizon 5 yesterday but paused the download at 30% planning to continue the download today, but when I launched the xbox app on my pc today forza horizon 5 was not in my downloads. When I try to re-download it, the game dissapears from the download menu after "preparing". I have also lost 40 gb from my HDD from the 30% I downloaded yesterday.

Does anyone know where the install location for xbox game pass for pc is? I think the 40 gb I have already downloaded might be interfering with my new download attempts. If that is not the case, has anyone encountered the same problem and if so what did you do to fix it ?

Seems to me like your OS might be corrupt. If you're on Windows 10, what version(not edition) of the OS are you working with? See if the suggestion made in this reddit, helps you out.

I doubt that it is a corrupt windows install. There are no other problems, and downloading other games are totally fine. But thanks for the suggestion!

I managed to solve it! All I had to do is to try to install it through the microsoft store. When hitting the install button there it popped up in the "manage download" window in the xbox game pass app, and continued downloading from where I paused it yesterday. So if your game dissapears from your download menu in xbox game pass for pc. Find it in the microsoft store and click download there.

edit:
It seems like this solution only works in windows 10 and not windows 11. The microsoft store for windows 11 does not have the same download button as the windows 10 microsoft store.
