Windows 10: Can't "change" drive that Microsoft Store downloads to

Hi there,I've been trying to download Doom Eternal for the past couple of days to no avail. I checked the drive that it should download to according to Settings, Storage, and Where New Apps Will Install To, and there's 69.9 gb on that drive. I thought it just didn't have enough storage for a big game, so I switched where it will install it to for a new drive with 203 GB on it, and it still gives me an error saying that I don't have enough storage for it.Please help, and thank you for reading this,shmee

Cannot Download Anything From Microsoft Store

I changed the DNS Servers to 8 8 8 8 and 8 8 4 4, but still no downloads. I finished my drive partition backups so the next step is the Microsoft Store on Tuesday. Wish me luck.

 

Download notification changed in Microsoft Edge

Hello,

I'm afraid this is the new Downloads menu in Microsoft Edge.

If it may help, here are some settings you can change for it, but it will now always be on top.

How can I free up space taken up by an incomplete Microsoft Store download?

Found the solution. Steps I used to fix this:

1. Open the C:\Program Files\WindowsApps folder, which is where the Windows Store puts its downloads. The WindowsApps folder isn't permissioned to normal users, so this has to be done using some utility that's being run as administrator (either a command prompt window, or some other file manager like 7zip; h/t ManSamVampire for the 7zip suggestion). DO NOT assign ownership of the WindowsApps folder to your own user account to gain access to it, as doing so will cause major problems and can't be easily undone (h/t Ramhound's answer for this warning).
   
2. Sort the subfolders inside WindowsApps by the date they were last modified; this will let you easily find the folders that have recently had new stuff put into them.
   
3. In my case, the offending subfolder was called MSIXVC, which is apparently a type of installer used by the Windows Store. Inside, I had an anomalous 37GB file created last night with no file extension, called "8BBF2763-A1C6-4F1B-96CA-B79DD5FDA4EE". Given that this file was enormous, created at the right time, and in a subfolder suggesting it was an installer, I concluded that this was the droid I was looking for.
   
4. From within your run-as-administrator utility, delete the offending file. I deleted the ginormous, bafflingly-named file from the MSIXVC folder, and lo and behold I had all my disk space back!
   

Now redownloading and installing Outer Worlds. This time I'll know better than to turn off my computer partway through.
