    Hello,

    I recently got a Samsung T7 Touch to act as an additional Hard Drive on my Laptop as I only had 500gbs on my laptop. Safe to assume that I am going to use this SSD as an additional application and file storing drive.

    As I was going to change my default app install location I receive this error.

    Error received when trying to change the default location from the Settings app.

    As you can see something is preventing me from doing it. After reviewing my actual SSD files I can see that a new 'WindowsApp' folder was created, when trying to open/modify it, I was not able to do anything. I searched all over the internet for a problem similar to this, although just as me using an external SSD to store apps, it was very uncommon.

    I read up on various people having similar issues when changing the default save location, although all of them seemed to fix the issue easily with some commands or by RENAMING the folder, which is impossible, although I did see some ways of getting access to rename it, they all only worked when using the original program file one, and mine is located within the SSD this being "E:\WindowsApp\".

    What can anyone recommend? I know it is a strange case but I do not seem to find an alternative as I do not have any storage in my C: drive left and my last place to store things is in my E: drive.

    Thanks in advance, I think it would also be beneficial if you can see the actual SSD directories. These are them:

    Windows explorer T7 Touch capture.

    Can't open Windows Sandbox Error 0x80070002

    Microsoft now list a known issue:


    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...903#456msgdesc


    Windows Sandbox seems fragile on 1903 for a bunch of reasons; mine won't start with a different error code.

    Feedback Hub reports for "Windows Sandbox won't start" mention about 25 different error codes experienced.

    Error 0x80070002 when trying to update Windows

    I have been having issues for months with Windows 10 updates failing due to Error 0x80070002 on my gaming laptop. The full message reads:

    2019-06 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 for x64-based Systems (KB4503286) -Error 0x80070002.

    I am currently on version 1803 (OS Build 17134.590) and I'm being told "You're currently running a version of windows that's nearing the end of support. We recommend you update to the most recent version of Windows 10 now to get the latest features and security improvements."

    I have followed the instructions on Error Code 0x80070002 Fixed – Eassos Step-by-Step Tutorial but this hasn't resolved the problem. Does anybody know how to fix this?
