    Unable to switch where new apps will save to


    Hello, I am trying to download a game that is larger than the available space in my Windows C: storage. In settings, I try to switch 'New apps will save to:' from Windows C: to Storage D:, but after clicking on apply, I get a popup window asking if I want to Delete other apps?. Whether I click yes or no, I get another popup window saying "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."


    What should I do to get pass this error code? Thanks!

    :)

  3. Virtual Switch Manger Unable to Create Default Switch in v1809

    After upgrading to v1809 I turned Hyper-V feature Off then On. Since then the Default Switch no longer exists and the Virtual Switch Manager is unable to crate it automatically as it would normally. I can see the Default Switch appear for a few seconds in the Network Adapters, then its gone. This happens several time whenever I launch the Virtual Switch Manager.

    I can create other virtual switches.
    Once the Virtual Switch Manager lists the Default Switch with a Load Failed message.

    I have used netcfg -d command and Turned Hyper-V feature Off/On several times with no success.

    Suggestions welcome. Unable to switch where new apps will save to :) Thanks
