    Ultimately I am attempting to install a game. There is not enough room on my c: drive to do this so I go to change the app install location and it tells me there are app's from another device installed on D: drive would you like to remove them to install. I click yes I get the permissions error 0x80070005. I have searched high and low and tried all different cmd prompts to no avail.

    • I have removed all apps from D :drive
    • I have created an alternate administrator account no change.
    • I have updated to the newest version
    • I troubleshot the update it came back saying it had fixed the issue no change.

    Can't change install location for Microsoft Apps

    I have been trying to change the install location of my apps from my main ssd to a larger secondary drive but because of TrustedInstaller i don't have the permission to make this change. I have tried dozens of tutorials and suggestions online to rectify
    this but it still won't let me change my install location. Is my windows just broken? How do i fix this? and why is it so hard to change an install location!

    I have error error 0x80070005 occur everytime.
