Windows 10: How can I bypass the installation on system drive from Microsoft Store ?

Hi,


I have a big problem. I just bought Dragon Quest IX from the Microsoft Store. The game takes 40go.


I have a 128go SSD with my system on it and a 1TB HDD for my files. My SSD has only 15 go free.There is absolutely no way for me to free up more. Even if I uninstall some things, I can't get to 40go free. I absolutely have to install on my HDD which have 200gb free.


Problem : Microsoft Store ABSOLUTELY WANTS ME to install on my system drive :




I can't select my other drive. That's complete nonsense, why would a game require to be installed on a system drive ? Steam never ever would ask for this type of things. I have bought this game, but I can't even play it as I can't install it. That's unbelievable. Is there a way to bypass this ? If not, I'm going to refund this game. I heavily regret having bought it on the Microsoft Store. I already bought some games here before, that's the first one forcing me to do this.


Any help is welcome

Have a great day and happy new year

:)

Minecraft installation in Microsoft store

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

We understand your concern as you are unable to install Minecraft in Microsoft Store. In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below:

• What is the Windows 10 version and Build installed? (Type
  winver in Windows search/Run command)
  

• Do you have any non-Microsoft antivirus program installed?
  
• Does this issue occur for all games & apps from the store?
  

• What is the date and time on the PC and ensure it is correct?
• Do you get any error message or code?

Meanwhile, we would suggest you to perform these steps and after every step check if you are able to install the game.

Step 1: Reset the Windows Store Cache: Press the Windows Logo Key + R to open the
Run dialog box, type wsreset.exe, and then select OK.

Note:
A blank Command Prompt window will open, and after about ten seconds the window will close and Microsoft Store will open automatically.

Step 2: Run the Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter: Select the
Start button, and then select Settings>Update & Security
> Troubleshoot, and then from the list select Windows Store apps > Run the troubleshooter.

Step 3: If you have any non-Microsoft security/antivirus software installed, disable it temporarily and then try installing the game.

Step 4: If the issue persists, then we would suggest you to create a new administrator user account and check, refer this article to

create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10.

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.
