    Why can't I install certain games from the Windows store on a different drive?


    Hello there, I'm currently dealing with a frustrating issue here.

    I'm trying to get a game installed on my D drive because my C drive is running out.

    But the store simply doesn't let me pick said D drive in spite of me having set windows to download store apps to D via the settings app.

    Am I doing something wrong or is the store broken beyond saving?

    :)

    Install Microsoft Store Game In Specific Folder

    Hi,

    I understand that you want to organize your Windows 10 storage location. However, the feature you're looking for is currently not possible. We suggest sending feedback to Microsoft using Feedback Hub app. You can visit this
    article to know more details about it.

    Moreover, you could always choose a preferred location from the Store settings, or move installed content to a different drive. In case you have the OS installed on an SSD and have a dedicated drive for games, the feature will make it more convenient to
    download games to a dedicated drive before initiating the download.

    You can follow the steps below on how to install Windows Store apps on a separate drive:

    1. Open Settings.
    2. Click on System.
    3. Click on Storage.
    4. Under "Save locations," and on "New apps will save to," select the new drive location.

    Once you completed the steps, new apps you download from the Windows Store will now install automatically in the new location.

    If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to get back to us.

    Why can't I install certain games from the Windows store on a different drive?

    Windows 10: Problems installing certain games through Windows Store and getting error code "0xc000027b".

    Original Title: Problems installing certain games through Windows Store?

    I am having a weird problem involving the Windows Store on the Windows 10 Anniversary Update. If I try to install certain games like Forza Motorsport 6 Apex or Killer Instinct, the appstore crashes. I can install other apps just fine, but for some reason,
    trying to install those specific games crashes the Windows Store. The event viewer lists exception code 0xc000027b.
