Windows 10: Windows Store App Storage Location

I would wish to move the storage of my windows apps into a subdirectory on an external storage device. I'm aware that I can put windows apps on an external drive, but it gives me no option to set a subdirectory so that My drive doesn't have 3-4 different folders just so I can offload Windows Apps.



Thanks!

Changing the default storage designation for the Microsoft Windows Store and various apps.

Hi Isaac,

The default storage location for the Windows store and apps is in system location where Windows is stored (This PC-> C drive), if you want to change the default location of the apps then I suggest you to follow the below steps to change the settings
and check if it helps.

• Open Settings and click on the System icon.
• Click on Storage on the left side, on the right side under
  Save locations, select the drive to where you want your
  documents, music, pictures, and/or
  videos to be saved to by default.
• Click/tap on Apply.

The above settings option is available only from the Windows version (10586), I suggest you to check in which version of Windows build in installed on your computer.

Please get back to us with an update on this issue, we will be happy to assist you further.

Thank you
