Windows 10: Unable to install update in windows store - not enough storage space

I am attempting to download the latest update for the Sea of Thieves game via the Microsoft store. The game is currently installed on my H:\ drive, having been moved from my C:\ drive where it was originally installed via the "move" operation in the Apps & Features menu. The problem is now that I am attempting to install the update (which should be ~6GB), the Microsoft store is telling me that I do not have enough space on my C:\ drive.

My C:\ drive has 50GB free and my H:\ drive has 100GB free. When I start the installation in the store, it seems to want to reinstall the entire 56GB of the Sea of Thieves game - I suspect it would simply skip over most of this once it realizes that the content is still there; however, I am unable to even begin the update without it telling me that I have insufficient space on my C:\ drive.

Conflicting information on my Storage Space...

From disk management, it does report the same storage and used space as from explorer.
May I ask did you try to create a storage pool or something ? if so, you should not mess with this.

Is this disk an external disk connected via USB ? WD or Seagate branch ?

I have the feeling that this disk is formatted with GPT type using 512K emulation so Windows get confused. To verify:

1. Right click on Disk 6 ->Properties->Volumes. What does it show on partition styles ? GPT ?
2. Download Best Free Partition Manager for Windows | MiniTool Partition Free, install then run. What does it show on disk 7 ? MBR ?

If step 1 shows GPT and step 2 shows MBR then definitely the disk was formatted using 512K emulation. The reason they did this so that it would be recognized by WinXP or if you connect it to a TV.

Windows Updates failed is another problem you have. First, it tried to updates from 1703 -> 1709 and failed so any subsequent updates to 1803 also failed.

 

Windows Updates failed to instal

I just did step one and they have just all installed.... thank you so much.... it was quite frustrating having that update window pop up every 5 minutes and failing to instal every time

Thanks mate
