    So solution 6 worked for me, but there's an extra step now that's not covered in the video.
    Complete solution 2 before to change default app download location, then after deleting the gaming services file right click the Start button, find control terminal ADMIN.
    Type in: get-appxpackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers
    Hit enter and close terminal. Reopen Xbox app and it should tell you to redownload gaming services. Afterward I was able to download to my E drive

    I tried the reg edit, now my external SSD can be chosen but every time I try to download the game it says error. I read that it is to do with games not compatible with exFAT drives and only on NTFS. Is that true?
