    We couldn't set your default save location

    I have a ssd (C)drive with my os & a hdd (D)drive for storage. In settings-system-storage-change where new content is saved I was able to change everything I wanted to my (D)drive with the exception of new photos & videos I keep getting an error code 0x80070005 saying this operation did not complete successfully. If anyone has a fix for this I would greatly appreciate it.This is an attachment of a screenshot. I hope I did this correctly this is my first time trying to post on this site.

  3. Windows store - we couldn't set your default save location. error code 0x801f000f

    Hi Darren,

    There are options that you can try to set your default save location for your
    Windows Store games
    . We suggest that you create a new folder and name it Test inside your local disk F/: and have your
    Windows Store default save location set to that folder.

    We also suggest
    creating a new local user account
    named Test on your PC and check if you will encounter the same issue on a different user profile. Should you have further questions, feel free to post them on this thread.

    I have this same error. Trying to set the save location to d: but end up with the same error number as above. Followed your command which reported as successful but still no go.
