    Yesterday, Laptop Dell G3 15 did not start after 5 mins and the power button was pressed again.
    This caused disk errors which were repaired at startup but continue to get 'repairing' at each startup.

    Otherwise Windows 10 starts and seems to be running ok.

    However, when installing a new App I was only given the option of saving to C: SSD

    In Windows 10 Settings/Storage - 'new content new apps is saved' was set to D: HD but it had changed to C:

    When try to change it back to D: - Receiving Error 0x8007049a

    Tried:
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
    and
    sfc /scannow
    Errors showed and were fixed on c: but no errors on d:



    Cannot install new apps as not enough space on the SSD.


    D: can be accessed ok but CheckDisk doesn't run on it from File Explorer/Tools.

    :)
