How do I stop Xbox app on PC from having to unpack games after already downloading them?

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

The "unpacking" process you're encountering after downloading a game via the Xbox app on PC is a step where the downloaded compressed game files are decompressed and installed on your system. This step is necessary because games are often downloaded in a compressed format to save bandwidth and speed up the download process. The unpacking process then requires an equivalent amount of space to the game size for the installation. Unfortunately, this process can sometimes appear to take as long as downloading the game itself depending on the size of the game and the speed of your PC's storage.

Here are a few suggestions to mitigate this issue:

1. SSD Upgrade: If you're not already using a Solid State Drive (SSD) for your game installations, consider upgrading. SSDs significantly reduce the time it takes to unpack and install games compared to traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDDs).
   
2. Ensure Enough Space: Make sure you have more than enough space on your installation drive. Lack of space can cause the unpacking process to slow down significantly as the system struggles to manage disk space.
   
3. Close Background Applications: Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Unpacking is both disk and CPU intensive. Other applications can slow this process down.
   
4. Reset the Xbox App: If the problem persists, try resetting the Xbox app. Go to Settings > Apps > Apps & features, find the Xbox app, select Advanced options, and then click Reset.
   
5. Reinstall the Xbox App: If resetting doesn't help, consider uninstalling and then reinstalling the Xbox app.
   

Unfortunately, there's no way to completely bypass the unpacking process as it is an essential step in the installation of downloaded games. However, by following the above tips, you can ensure that the process is as quick and smooth as possible.

Let me know if you need further assistance.
