    "We Couldn't Set Your Default Save Location" Error 0x80070005


    Hello.


    I got the Xbox Game Pass for PC and I want to download my games on my D: drive, which has more space than my C: and is set up for installing all my games on other programs. It says it is not set up to save games when I try to install one, so I click "Set it as your default location for where new apps are saved". I try to change where new apps are saved from me C: drive to my D:. But when I click "Yes" it says, "We Couldn't Set Your Default Save Location". This is very frustrating because I bought the Game Pass for games, not to be stopped with an error. If you can, please help me. Thank you

  2. Couldn't Set Default Save Location 0x80070005

    Hello, I would like to set the default save location for Store apps to another drive (G"We Couldn't Set Your Default Save Location" Error 0x80070005 :). When I go into Storage in Settings, I get the "Couldn't Set Default Save Location 0x80070005" error. I would like to install Forza 7 on a different hard drive because
    it's 93GB and my SSD is already getting full. Is there a way to do so? If I try to install Forza 7 from the Store, I have a dropdown menu of all the drives available and when I choose the drive I want (G"We Couldn't Set Your Default Save Location" Error 0x80070005 :) and click "Install", nothing happens - I can just
    keep on clicking "Install" infinitely and no download starts or anything. If I choose my C: drive, it downloads just fine. Any help will be greatly appreciated because I've had this issue for months now with different games.

    I found quite a lot of same posts on the internet about it. They you to give your self full permission in the packages folder. I already have that however. The help ends here from the internet and I don't know what to do now.
