Windows 10: 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


update Windows

reset Microsoft store

changed storage location

used power shell



nothing has worked. Even called Microsoft and they couldn’t figure it out. Please help!

Microsoft Store won't let me save to my download drive

If I choose my C: drive as the save location installs work just fine. I click install and things install. However, my C: drive is an SSD with limited space. I chose my G: drive (where I usually install applications) as the save location. When I click install
in Microsoft Store it asks me to choose an installation location (Why isn't this available when C: is the save location?). The problem is that the G: drive, my save location, is not available on the list.

I have tried setting other drives as the save location and the Microsoft store will just save there. There is no indication why the Microsoft Store does not like my G: drive. There is plenty of free space and the drive is the exact same model as other drives
in my PC that work without trouble.

 

Microsoft Store always downloads to the C: drive, no matter what.

I'm having a very frustrating problem and I think the only solution is to reinstall Windows onto a larger partition.

I'm trying to download Sea of Thieves in the Microsoft Store and it's downloading to the C: drive. I really despise the Microsoft Store and I've always refused to even open it, much less rely on it for anything, so I'm at a loss as to what the problem could
be.

Sea of Thieves is a 21 GB game. I only have 15 GB of free space on the 110 GB Windows partition (C. I can't find enough stuff to uninstall or delete to free enough space on the C: drive.

I've already changed all the storage settings to put new apps (and everything else) in my F: drive. When I start downloading the game, it asks me where I want to install it, so I select the F: drive. Neither of those actually had any affect, the files are
still being downloaded to the C: drive and the download process stops when the drive is full.

So that leaves me with only one solution - reinstall Windows onto a larger partition. That is absolutely unacceptable. Why can't Microsoft design anything correctly?

Any help would be appreciated but this isn't looking good. Maybe I can symlink or junction the Microsoft Store folder to a custom location on another drive?

 

Can't find the C drive in Windows 10

All the suggestions above work, however, the easiest way to find C Drive is to type>This PC in the search box>Right click on>This PC and choose pin to taskbar. The hiding of C Drive and other Drives is another one of Microsoft's one-step forward and three-steps
back.
