Aurora R13, AWCC, not detecting Xbox Game Pass games

I recently received my Aurora R13. The AWCC (Alienware Command Center) detected most games that I installed with the exception of Xbox Game Pass games. All of those games are installed in C:\xboxgames\. I can browse to the specific folder and find the executable, but AWCC will not open it. I get the following error "You don't have permission to open this file.". I have done a lot of research online, and it appears this has been an issue for a while. I tried taking ownership of the folders and a merlad of other solutions, but none have worked so far. Nvidia GeForce Experience detects them without issue.

Update:

Since posting I have been able to find a way to work around the issue.  By manually adding the "gamelaunchhelper.exe" from "C:\XboxGames\" to AWCC it is now detecting when I launch a game.  The problem here is that it now associates all Xbox Game Pass games with a single profile as they all user the launch helper.  While this will work for now, it is still not an ideal solution to the problem.

I was able to come up with a solution to the problem since I posted. The "gamelaunchhelper.exe" from "C:XboxGames" has been manually added to AWCC so that it can now recognize when I launch a game. The issue here is that because they all utilise the launched assist, all Xbox Game Pass games are now ready linked to a single profile. Although this will function, for the time being, it is still not the best way to solve the issue.
