After the update to the app on my desktop, it is no longer detecting my games, and I have to go into the folders manually and launch them from there. The app works fine on my Laptop (It has NOT been updated). I can’t reinstall the apps (Or uninstall them for that matter) because of space (Since they are still installed…)
I have no clue what to do…
The App usually has an option to browse to the game location to point it to the install location. It also has a fast find search - small print below and to the right of the Install button.
To uninstall, you can just move the whole game directory to another drive, or delete it. That gets rid of all the game files.
You can even play from an external drive by pointing the launcher at the game directory! Blizz games are kind of useful like that. The key stuff that takes up space is all in one place for easy management by you.
Yes, I know. I’ve went into the directories via the app, and it says they don’t exist.

For the record, i DO NOT want to uninstall my games. I want the app to detect them again. I changed absolutely nothing before or after I updated the app. This only started AFTER i updated the app.
I have NOT updated the app on my laptop, and it STILL detects the games as it should. But on my desktop, where it IS updated, it’s no longer detecting games even though it’s pointing to the correct / same directory it was before the update.
You can always try a couple more things:
From the bottom of the article, click the links to learn how to delete the bnet cache and such
If all else fails, un-install the app and re-install it, or even switch it to a Beta version.
I just did all of that, even uninstalling and reinstalling, and it’s still not detecting the games =(
The location of the files may be corrupt or locked behind permissions from a security app. However, I can confirm that feature does work as intended. I had to use it on another machine just a few days ago.
