    We couldn't set default save location error code 0x80070002 for games and apps only?


    Okay I am confused. My HDD drive F will not allow me to install Xbox Games on it and I go to the "Where new content is saved" option and go to apps and games and choose my drive Drive F and it gives me "We couldn't set default save location error code 0x80070002." Now I tried to go to the other options there like where to save new documents, pictures, etc; and all the other options allowed it except the games and apps option. WHAT GIVES? The drive is formatted to NTFS and I've even ran CHKDSK to see if there is issues and it's fine. I have no clue what to do at this point, and nowhere onlin

    Error 0x80070003 Couldnt set default save location, xbox game pass

    I fixed it, by removing all my "d:\game_installs" and Steam_directory off the drive, formatting the drive, and then changing location of windows 10 default apps. it took about 2 hrs to move everything :S theres gotta be an easier way to manipulate microsoft apps and folders than formatting a drive?
