  2. SSD drive is full, need to change the drive location to save apps and dowloads on Windows 10.

    Hello Tamara,



    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused and will assist you in resolving the issue.



    From the above description, I understand due to all the apps and other downloads downloading in the SSD location the drive status shows full.



    You can try changing the drive location of downloads by following the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.



    • Press Windows logo key on the keyboard, type Settings and select the top most search result.
    • Select System and click on the Storage from the left side panel of the window.
    • Select the location of the drives you want apps,
      documents
      , music, pictures and
      videos
      to download and save on from the window under Save locations.
    • After selecting the drives, close the window and check if the changes are effective.


    Write to us with the status of the issue on the same post for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



    Thank you.

  3. Cannot Change Default App Download Location, Build 14393.187

    I'm currently trying to download Forza Horizon 3, but the only problem is that I only have ~25GB left on my SSD C: drive. When I go into the system settings and try to change the default save location for Apps, it will let me choose my E: drive, but as soon as I hit apply it just reverts to the C: drive. It let's me change the locations for all of the other options, but as soon as I try to change the locations for Apps it just resets all other save changes I've made.
    After a bit of searching for a fix to this I discovered that the Store will ask you where you want to download something if the download is large enough. This is perfect except every time I try to download Forza and choose my E: as the download location, the Store just crashes. No error codes or anything.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
