Oculus Desktop App won't install or update games.

I know there has been ongoing issues with the Desktop Application, but I think it's getting worse.  The games I have managed to install, will not update. It's always the same two messages: "Sorry, we couldn't install xxxxxx. Visit Oculus support to get help." or "Sorry, it looks like your antivirus software blocked the installation of xxxxxxx"

Sorry "OculusSupport" but that simply does not work. None of your solutions work...ever.

I think our problem was a tad different but I found a solution that's been working for me so far. I went into my oculus files and basically deleted every single game, I left the app but none of the game data was left. Then I went into the oculus app, I added another storage drive as a download location, and deleted the one I used before. Now my games have been downloading and updating just fine 

I'll give it a shot - I'll let you know if it works!  Thanks.
