This is one of the reasons I don't use GamePass, because it all goes through the crappy Microsoft Store which always gives me weird download errors, and when trying to research the issue it just leads to nothing that works.
God forbid you reinstall Windows and have your GamePass games on another drive. It won't let you re-use that partition because the games folder is "owned by someone else" even when you're signed into the same Microsoft account, and it won't let you delete it because its protected by Windows... You either have to nuke the whole partition, delete it from Linux, or go through the whole take-ownership ritual which is buggy at best.
Fwiw, it's actually easier to play game pass games using the GeForce Now cloud service then it is on your own PC. Which is weird.
