  1. Can't change default app save location to D: drive - error code 0x80070005


    Cannot change the default save location to D: drive in settings . Gives error code 0x80070005 and says we couldn't save your default location. Try again in a bit. Without it nothing from the windows store is downloading to the hdd , as space on C drive is low. The install button doesn't work when D drive is selected.

    I recently reinstalled Windows on the laptop and reinstalled the HDD , and ever since then windows is having problems accessing the drive for specific reason.

    Even windows update is throwing error code - 0x8007000d , and not updating.

    I have tried many things like dism tool , wsreset , windows store trouble shooter , done chkdsk on D: drive , etc , still not fixed yet.

    Tried changing the permissions and Owner as well , as set the owner as myself , yet no help.

    :)

    I found quite a lot of same posts on the internet about it. They you to give your self full permission in the packages folder. I already have that however. The help ends here from the internet and I don't know what to do now.
