Windows 10: Win10.1909, Changing App storage location to D:, installing of openSUSE cripples. What's...

As title suggests, first changing my App storage location to D: , so that those Apps don't eat up too much System32 partition space.





Then install openSUSE Leap 15.1 from Microsoft Store App. On first time launching of openSUSE, something goes wrong. I see it printing "The system cannot find the file specified" in a dead cycle, and I have to force kill that console window.




And then, running openSUSE from start menu directly leaves me in root#shell prompt, instead of the normal user prompt.

I'd like to know, what cause this problem, bug in Windows itself or the openSUSE software. And is there any workaround to this problem, with premise that App storage is still set to D:.

with D: moved from different machine. Thanks.

Changing the default storage designation for the Microsoft Windows Store and various apps.

Hi Isaac,

The default storage location for the Windows store and apps is in system location where Windows is stored (This PC-> C drive), if you want to change the default location of the apps then I suggest you to follow the below steps to change the settings
and check if it helps.

• Open Settings and click on the System icon.
• Click on Storage on the left side, on the right side under
  Save locations, select the drive to where you want your
  documents, music, pictures, and/or
  videos to be saved to by default.
• Click/tap on Apply.

The above settings option is available only from the Windows version (10586), I suggest you to check in which version of Windows build in installed on your computer.

Please get back to us with an update on this issue, we will be happy to assist you further.

Thank you
