Windows 10: Unable to change where new content is saved.

Just did a clean install of Windows 10 and now In Setting when I try to change where new content is saved I get the following error: "We couldn't set your default save location" "The operation did not complete successfully. Try again later". Error code 0x80070005. Any Suggestions?

Change where new content is saved.

Hello Martin,

We apologize for the late reply.

Windows 10 lets you easily change the default Save location for Documents, Music, Picture and Video files. For steps on how to organize your preferred setting, follow these steps:

• Open Start Menu.
• Click Settings, then System settings.
• Click on Storage in the left pane.
• Scroll down a bit and find Save locations.
• There you will see New documents will save to setting and similar settings for Music, Pictures & Videos.
• Select the location from the drop-down menu.

For Windows 10 Creators Update v1703, you need to navigate as follows:

Settings > System > Storage
> Change where new content is saved.

Tip: If you are suffering from the low space issues after upgrading, you can use these technique to move Documents and other personal folders from the default system drive to another drive.

Feel free to post back if further assistance is needed.

 

Change where new content is saved.

I did use the Settings > System > Storage > Change
where new content is saved.

I see the new folders in my D: drive but copying or creating new documents still were saved in the c: drive.

I had to click on each folders in the C: drives and manually relocate them from the old interface. It seems that the feature in the
Settings > System > Storage > Change
where new content is saved is broken in the Creator update.

 

Change where new content is saved.

When you go In Settings -> System -> Storage -> Click on "Change where new content is saved" link on the page.

On Windows 10 Creator Upd.
