    Microsoft store downloading everything to C drive - How to change it?


    Hi there,So, I know this question has been asked before, but how on earth can I stop the Microsoft store from downloading every game to my C drive first BEFORE it actually moves it to my drive which I selected as the location for the game to be installed?I know there's a method that involves changing a registry key. I found this solution in an answer to a similar question. In case you need to know what this method is, here it is:"Hit Windows key + R together and enter: regeditIn the new Registry Editor window, navigate to the following: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cu

    Microsoft store won’t allow me to download to any other drive but the C drive.

    I can download to the c drive with no problems at all. My issue is that my c drive is small and I use another for my games. When I try to install to another drive I get an error 0x80070057. I have tried the following

    • updated Windows
    • reset Microsoft store
    • changed storage location
    • used power shell
    • used CMD (sfc /scannow, DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth, DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth, DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image
      /RestoreHealth)
    • Microsoft Store troubleshooter

    Nothing has worked. Even called Microsoft and they couldn’t figure it out, escalating it tomorrow. Please help!

    Cannot Download Anything From Microsoft Store

    I changed the DNS Servers to 8 8 8 8 and 8 8 4 4, but still no downloads. I finished my drive partition backups so the next step is the Microsoft Store on Tuesday. Wish me luck.
