Windows 10: Can't set D drive as default save location

I'm trying to set my D drive as my default for installing apps but keep getting an error 0x80073d0e

We couldn't set your default save location

If none of these mentioned things helped you, try this (this is the only thing that helped me).

For example, you want to set the default location to disk D:

1. so go to disk D: using File explorer and look for a folder named "WpSystem" (If that folder isn't there, then this solution will probably not help you)
   • (it is located at the same tree level as "Program Files")
2. Delete or rename the WpSystem folder
   • (this folder is used for storing data for windows apps, so if you have nothing to lose, then delete it or you can just rename it to WpSystemOld or something. You can maybe later try to move those files from that old WpSystem folder to a new one, that windows will create (I didn't try this). You can google the purpose of this folder, if you're not sure)
3. Now changing that default save location should work.

We're looking forward to your reply.

well I went to one drive and right click the photos file, which is a zip folder, and chose to download. I clicked save as and clicked which file to put it in, which was pictures that is under PC (this computer), now I went to delete the picture files that
were under the one drive folder, after the download, however when I went to click the picture files under PC the file was not able to be located because of one drive all of sudden. So I restored the pictures I deleted from under one drive and BAM! The picture
file under PC is back! I came to the conclusion that the default storage is set to one drive for documents and pics, and it is. okay so I went to settings and storage and I'm changing the save locations from one drive to "this pc" but when I click apply it
goes right back to one drive.

I went to the one drive settings found in my hidden icons and changed documents and pics to "pc only" guess what? it's still defaulting to one drive. I rest my computer and everything now I can't even find one drive in my hidden icons no more.

Yes, you're correct. In Windows 10, the default save location for new documents and pictures is OneDrive. To change the default location, please check this
article. In this article, you will also see
the steps on how to move your files.

To locate your OneDrive, press Windows key > type OneDrive > select
OneDrive.
