    Microsoft store installation unable to change disk.


    [COLOR=rgba0, 0, 0, 1]Hello there,I've been meaning to install a Microsoft program onto my D disk.Problem is, my windows is downloaded onto my C disk, and therefore it automatically installs to the C disk.When I try and change the installation location to the D disk, when I press install, nothing happens and I can spam clicking install if I'd like, nothing happens whatsoever.I tried changing the location where new content is saved by going to settings>system>storage>change where new content is saved>New apps will be saved toYet, for some reason when I change it to the D disk, it gives me a warning message "Delete other apps? this drive has apps from another device. To use this drive, the other apps must first be deleted. Do you want to continue?". I looked for the location of said files at C:\programfiles\WindowsApps but the folder simply does not exist even tho I have several apps such as spotify and skype installed.I tried uninstalling them and proceeding but no matter what I do, I keep getting the same error code: "We couldn't set your default save location." "The operation did not complete successfully. Try again in a bit. The error code is 0x80070005, in case you need it".I looked for solutions for this error, and I tried changing the value of the registery entry related to the new path D:\program files\WindowsApps but there was an error in changing the value.I would really appreciate some help in the matter.Thanks in advance,Ron.[/COLOR]

  2. 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

  3. Unable to install Garmin Connect Mobile app from Microsoft Store

    Hi James,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are unable to install the Garmin Connect Mobile app from Microsoft store after uninstalling it.



    I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and check if that helps.



    Method 1:



    Reset the store cache.



    1. Press Windows key + R. This will open
      Run. Alternatively, you can go to Start and search for Run.
    2. In Run dialog box, type
      wsreset
      and hit enter.


    The store will restart automatically after the command completes.



    Method 2:



    Sign out and sign in again to store.



    1. Open Microsoft store by clicking on the
      Store icon on the taskbar.
    2. Now on the top right corner click on the
      account icon and click on the account name.
    3. Now click on Sign out to sign out of Microsoft Store.
    4. Click on the account icon again and click on
      Sign in.
    5. Login with the Microsoft account.


    If the issue persists, I would also suggest you to check and confirm if the store app is updated and the region, time & language settings are set accordingly. You can refer the steps in the article on
    Microsoft Store does not launch
    to help you through this process.



    Hope it helps.
