Windows 10: Having trouble installing games from Microsoft Store (or apps in general) on a different drive

by "trouble" I mean "spent the last 3 days turning the internet inside-out for an answer".

Basically, the Xbox app (or the Microsoft store apps) won't install on my X: drive. When I go to storage settings > change where new content is saved > New apps will save to is the only option that prompts me "Delete other apps? This driver has apps from another device. To use this drive, the other apps must first be deleted. Then it proceeds to "We couldn't set your default save location" and gave me the error code 0x80070005 (which lead me nowhere searching around the internet this time around.

I had this same trouble in the past, and the only thing I remember is that it required to delete the WindowsApps folder on the X: drive. This is a pain in the butt because it requires you to take ownership of the folder (and enabling admin rights, if your win 10 doesn't have it), but I've obviously done it and got the same answer.

and here I am, asking for your knowledge.

Install Microsoft Store Game In Specific Folder

Hi,

I understand that you want to organize your Windows 10 storage location. However, the feature you're looking for is currently not possible. We suggest sending feedback to Microsoft using Feedback Hub app. You can visit this
article to know more details about it.

Moreover, you could always choose a preferred location from the Store settings, or move installed content to a different drive. In case you have the OS installed on an SSD and have a dedicated drive for games, the feature will make it more convenient to
download games to a dedicated drive before initiating the download.

You can follow the steps below on how to install Windows Store apps on a separate drive:

1. Open Settings.
   
2. Click on System.
   
3. Click on Storage.
   
4. Under "Save locations," and on "New apps will save to," select the new drive location.

Once you completed the steps, new apps you download from the Windows Store will now install automatically in the new location.

If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to get back to us.
