Error code: 0x80073d13 (Xbox Game Pass PC Beta)

When installing certain games on the Xbox Game Pass PC Beta app I seem to be getting Error code: 0x80073d13, Games will download to about 4.5%-9% then come up with the error.

Trying to install Metro, Wolfenstein, We Happy Few, Imperator: Rome and probably others I have not yet tried will give me this error.

I really hope this is not similar to the Microsoft Store error that does not allow certain games/programs to be installed on other drives besides C: which I don't think it is cause Halo Wars 1 seems to be giving me a different error code that I think is the disk drive error but I am not sure but It would really suck to have a bunch of games you can't install and we can't decide on a game-by-game basis yet so say I had just enough space for Metro on my C: drive but not enough to include another game from my other drive I can't specify that (atleast I think) it would all have to be on the same drive.

Update: That seems to be what the error is, must be installed on your main C: drive, when I disconnect my external drive Xbox app will auto download Metro directly to my C: drive

    Hey all, I think I solved it! 

    I formatted the external drive and changed the filesystem from exFAT to NTFS, and suddenly all of the apps that wouldn't download started working.

    Not that Microsoft is very helpful about this- I had to do tonnes of research and just ended up getting a 'wrong filesystem' error somewhere else in Windows entirely. If someone from MS reads this, it would be very helpful to change the error message to 'The application you are installing requires a different filesystem' in order to make sure people find the solution right away..

    Thanks man, solved it right away. You’re the best

    Microsoft, you need to fix this ASAP or this will be another person canceling their game pass sub. How is it that I have a microsoft surface tablet yet still can’t download games to the D drive (256gb Micro SD). This is lousy because the surface i have inly has 128gb to start with and that fills up quickly with other microsoft products (looking at you Office). I understand this is still “BETA” but you need to fix this ASAP

    Exact same problem here I had a different error code, restarted and now have the same as above, please fix for allowing installs elsewhere.
