XBox Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play Windows 11 corruption

The XBox Game Pass Ultimate for PC and EA Play apps corrupted my Windows 11 Pro 22H2 installation. When I have them installed and linked correctly, they seem to fight each other on where the games get installed.

I wanted to keep my Xbox Games on one SSD and my EA Play games on another. Unfortunately, this setup somehow confuses the apps and breaks my Windows 11 Update, Microsoft Store, XBox Game Pass for PC, and EA Play (Beta). It gets so corrupted that it corrupts my drives and my OS and forces me to do a clean re-install of Windows 11 Pro.

The obvious (untested) workaround would be to change Windows settings to install new apps to my Data drive, install Xbox Game Pass for PC first, link it to my EA Play account, and install EA Play (Beta). Of course, I must ensure I install EA Play game titles using the XBox app first with the default install location.

I wonder if I need to install my EA Play Pro game titles in the exact location.

I would like this fixed so I can install the games from the different platforms to separate drives for storage management reasons. (ie. I have Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Xbox, Epic, and EA Play games all installed on separate drives.)
