    Windows 11 Pro Unable to Change Where New Content Is Saved


    I'm using Windows 11 Pro and i have hit a bit of a road block. Microsoft has made it impossible to change "Where New Content Is Saved". There are downward facing arrows on all the options but when I click on them, I'm not given a drop-down menu, instead the only option I'm presented with is "OS C:". Why is Microsoft blocking me from making basic changes like this? Is it just me, or are other customers having the exact same issue.I'm not an advanced user. My tech skills are very basic. What do I need to do to get function working again?

    :)

    Change where new content is saved.

    Hello Martin,

    We apologize for the late reply.

    Windows 10 lets you easily change the default Save location for Documents, Music, Picture and Video files. For steps on how to organize your preferred setting, follow these steps:

    • Open Start Menu.
    • Click Settings, then System settings.
    • Click on Storage in the left pane.
    • Scroll down a bit and find Save locations.
    • There you will see New documents will save to setting and similar settings for Music, Pictures & Videos.
    • Select the location from the drop-down menu.

    For Windows 10 Creators Update v1703, you need to navigate as follows:

    Settings > System > Storage
    > Change where new content is saved.

    Tip: If you are suffering from the low space issues after upgrading, you can use these technique to move Documents and other personal folders from the default system drive to another drive.

    Feel free to post back if further assistance is needed.

    Unable to change where new content is saved.

    In Settings, System, Storage, Change where new content is saved. I don't think it is a store issue but will run trouble shooter.
