  1. Microsoft Store downloads going to wrong location


    I'm trying to install Halo: The Master Chief Collection on my Windows 10 PC. My Default drive for all new apps is set to D:\. All previously installed apps have successfully installed to that location. Halo is trying to install to C:\. C:\ is strictly for my OS and has no extra space. How can I get Halo to install to the correct location?

    :)

    [Solved] Downloading App - Something went wrong - Microsoft Account

    Windows Phone 8.1 (Lumia 630) trying to download my first app

    • Go to App Store.
    • Search for 'Blackberry'
    • Press on the BBM app.
    • Press 'install'
    • Allow access to location? message, press 'allow'
    Get:

    Something went wrong

    Sorry, but there's a problem with your

    Microsoft account. Tap Next to fix it

    online.

    • Tap 'next' - which gets me to sign in to my Microsoft Account but what do I do next? Am I supposed to do something?

    If I go back to trying to download the BBM app I get the same error message.

    I have tried downloading other free apps and get the same error message.

    Microsoft Store Problem

    Hi,

    There are times that you’ll encounter an error that the account doesn’t exist if the account name was misspelled. It can also be related to a conflict that has occurred with the Store app. To resolve this concern, we suggest that you check this
    article for the steps that you can use.

    Also, here are the troubleshoot steps that you can follow to isolate if the issue is with the Store app:

    • Check for
      connection problem
      .
    • Check if you have the correct time and location settings. Go to Settings
      > Time & Language.
    • Reset Microsoft Store cache:
    • Press Windows + R keys to launch the run command box.
    • Type WSReset, then try launching Microsoft and sign in.

    We're just here if you need further help.
