    Can't change install location for Microsoft Apps


    I have been trying to change the install location of my apps from my main ssd to a larger secondary drive but because of TrustedInstaller i don't have the permission to make this change. I have tried dozens of tutorials and suggestions online to rectify this but it still won't let me change my install location. Is my windows just broken? How do i fix this? and why is it so hard to change an install location!


    I have error error 0x80070005 occur everytime.

    :)

    How to change the geo-location

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that Microsoft Edge shows incorrect location of your computer. We know its pretty annoying.

    Share this information to assist you better.

    • Is the issue particular to Microsoft Edge or all browsers also?
    • Have you installed all the pending updates?
    • Have you made any recent changes prior to this issue
    • Do you see the incorrect location on a specific website?

    • Where did you input your town and post code to change the location?
    I would like to let you know that the Microsoft Edge will detect the location that is configured on the system.

    I suggest that you turn off and turn on the Location option in Settings. To do so, follow these steps.


    • Press Windows key + I to open Settings.

    • Click on Privacy on select Location
      tab.

    • Check if Location is turned ON.

    • If yes, turn it OFF and turn ON
    Hope this helps. If the issue persist, please post back with the required information. We’ll be glad to assist you further.

    Thank you.
