    Cannot download to external drive.


    Hey there. Trying Microsoft Store as opposed to Steam for the first time due to the Play Anywhere support Microsoft offers. Problem is, it won’t let me install games to my external hard drive, where literally every other game I play is stored. I have changed the Storage settings to direct new apps to D external drive but no dice. How should I proceed?

    :)
