ive been trying to fix this forever

the games that i have installed on my pc wont show up in the launcher, I know that i have the games installed because if i look at my "Xbox Games" folder it shows the games that i had installed before they disappeared. deleting the games from the folder itself wont work either because when i try and open the game folder it says that i dont have permission to access even as an administrator. ive already taken this up with the official support page but the solutions that they said would work didnt in the end. I'm hoping someone in this discord server can help me fix this problem.

If there not showing up in your installed games in the app then install them
