  1. I need to fix my default Windows Apps install locations


    Hi,


    My ability to install Windows 10 Apps and games is broken on two of my drives. My PC has four drives


    I can only install apps and Windows 10 games on C:\ and F:\


    D: and E: drive show this error when I try to install there


    I need to fix my default Windows Apps install locations 496d6634-15e9-4839-a21a-712f3c0c9fdf?upload=true.png


    I know this error is an Access Denied' error code, but I'm at a loss to correct it.


    I can't install on D:\ and E:\ because there is already a 'WindowsApps' folder on these drives. I tried taking control of them from the 'Trusted installer' to delete them, but I can't delete them as Windows won't let me:

    Can someone please advise a sure fire fix so that I can install apps again to these drives? Otherwise, the only fix I can think of at the moment is formatting the drives.


    Please help

    :)

    I need to fix my default Windows Apps install locations

    Windows 10 forgets default apps

    I have noticed like not 5mins ago that Winamp just got kicked out of my default apps list in Windows 10 Pro.
    I installed this installation not max 3 weeks ago with fresh downloaded Windows 10 Pro using Microsoft Media Creation Tool, is there a way to fix this bcs I using sfc /scannow don't do a lot for me and I have run it before on this installation.

    Before u ask, I have fully updated my Windows 10 with all non-insider/beta updates.

    The only thing I have disabled is the uac prompt that popup when u need admin for applications to run bcs it's simply annoying.

    I don't remember having all these problems with Windows 8.1 Pro when i was using that and I am really thinking about going back so I can have "fully control" over Windows again with like disabling all the admin crap bcs I feel like it's messing more up and makes things less useful in Windows 10 with all these small problems I have and I read a lot of ppl having problems with various things time and time again where they needed to reinstall Win10 over and over to get it to work fully.

    Any advice on how I can get Windows 10 to just work as a "daily driver" without all these small annoying things? *Frown I need to fix my default Windows Apps install locations :(
