    Windows apps can’t open storage offline or disconnected. Only Specific drives


    I have various Microsoft store apps on C drive, H drive, E drive, and N drive all internal drives. I have "New apps are saved to" as the H drive.


    Whenever I boot, windows keeps saying that the apps on E and N only these drives are offline and that the storage device is missing or disconnected. The drives work perfectly fine besides these windows apps. All other programs run fin, the drives are fully accessible.


    The only temporary fix is to go into disk management and turn the affected drives offline and online, then windows immediately recognizes them and the apps launch fine.


    If I move the apps to H or C, they work perfectly fine all the time.

    :)

    How to remove a bad drive in Windows 10 storage spaces pool

    Could someone list the steps involved in replacing a bad drive from a Windows 10 storage spaces pool? I cannot find any info on the Microsoft support site that is specific to Windows 10. Also, could you list the steps to remove a 'good' drive and replace
    it with another drive if the process is different?

    hard drive full, but can<t find the item to erase

    Windows 10 has the option to change the storage location. We suggest that you change the storage location so you can still use your hard drive instead of using the SSD. Kindly follow the steps below on how to change the storage location:

    • On the Search bar, type in storage and select the top most result.
    • On the Storage screen, change the location of each options to your desired hard drive. The files will now be saved on the specific hard drive.

    Windows apps can’t open storage offline or disconnected. Only Specific drives

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Windows apps can’t open storage offline or disconnected. Only Specific drives :)

    In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

    • Open powershell as administrator
    • Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
    • Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)
